Smartphone Mounts?

So Im going to be using an Iphone as a speedometer on my naked build but I dont know how to mount it. Im seeing a lot of mounts that go in bolt holes, which I dont have, or clamp onto the handlebars, which I dont have room for. What have you guys done? Pics would be helpful too, and keep in mind I have limited tools. Thanks in advance!

So, I did a little more homework and I found ram mounts. I see that a lot of people here have them for GPS units, and I saw on their website that they do have an Iphone case too. Can anyone who has a Ram Mount help me figure out exactly what parts I need to order? I want the Iphone to be as close to the top of the bike as possible since without plastics it would look pretty stupid to have a phone dangling 5 inches off the bike. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

If you are looking for something like that, I am using the stem mount from ram Product Number: RAM-B-342U. From that you can use arm RAM-B-201U-A. Then depending on if you have a cover on your phone or not, for use with cover RAM-HOL-UN7BU, without cover RAM-HOL-AP9U. Those are for the iphone 4s. It will be about as close to the bike as you can get using ram mounts.

That was very helpful, I do want a waterproof cover for an iphone so Ill get the first one, but I need to figure out where to get a cover thatll fit on there now. Thanks for the info. TO THE INTERNETS!

If anyone knows of a good fitting waterproof case for the Iphone 4s feel free to let me know. I dont want it to add too much bulk to the phone so as to still allow it to fit in the holder.

I considered a case from Lifeproof. Theirs seems to be one of the best. I wanted something less bulky, personally. But if you're using it on the bike then I say it might be the one.
