 Well designed product, best case I have found Mar 18, 2011
By kel3at
Very well designed case and covers my iPhone really well. Has a USB input to attach power I guess, I have not used that feature yet. Also the Ant+ receiver is built in so you won't have to buy separately. It attaches nicely to a bike with included mount. Has rubber gaskets to keep water out. After my workout the program sends my data right to training peaks with my iPhone. Pretty neat. I haven't had any bug issues yet with digit.

 I can't believe this is for sale Jun 18, 2011
By R. Isaac
"bread slicer"
This review is here because I purchased the IDENTICAL (this is a rebranded device) case from the competitor. So my comments apply to both.
The case does fully enclose my iPhone 4, my iphone has definitely been well protected, and its built-in Ant+ receiver works great with some, not all, Ant+ iPhone Apps. I was even pleasantly surprised that the sheath covering the face of the phone allowed my to operate my phone while enclosed.
However, the reason I purchased the case was to use it as a bike computer. It includes a bike mount. This is the first part of its failings. The mount secures to the bike, but the case doesn't properly secure to the mount. It has a tab that is supposed to lock in place when the case is slid over. Yet, if one applies a small amount of pressure, the case will slide out, lift out, fall out. While in use, the case has simply fallen out, maybe vibration? shock? definately NOT from physical contact.
Secondly, the method Wahoo Fitness used to secure the top shell to the bottom shell is with removable tabs. I'm careful to part the shells so as not to break the tabs. But, due to the case falling off the bike, its scratched (not really a big deal) but now I'm down to 3.5 of the 6 tabs. 1 tab shattered on a fall, one tab fell out after breaking from my careful removal of my phone, and after this latest fall from my bike, one tab is half there and the other half out on the road somewhere.
Finally, after the first fall, there were scratches, the second there are stress fractures on the case.
For a "bike case" or "bike computer" they missed the boat. I have to wonder who the target consumer is because a person who is simply riding a bike for casual use doesn't usually purchase this type of device yet it isn't built for the rigors of a road or triathlon bike.

Junk.. Do not buy this Mar 11, 2011
By Jarrod Lash
I was looking for a device to supplement various ANT+ programs for my Iphone. This device ONLY works with the Digifit apps. They are horrible and buggy. I am returning this device in order to try the Fiscia one with mapyride.

 HUUUGE Apr 22, 2011
By R. Ballantyne
I bought this for my wife's bike. I already had an extra ANT+ cadence sensor and HRM so this was cheaper than buying her a Garmin. She likes it and uses it outside and indoors. Like I said in the title the thing is huge. I understand that it has to be bigger than the iphone but just realize that when you put it on your bars it is going to take up a lot of real estate.
Great case, not so great bike attachment. May 14, 2012
By CaptnKebec
The case is well built and we can easily manipulate the iPhone once inside.
It really protects the phone and I have experimented first hand the first time I used it, since it has fall off the bike at the first big bump!
The case (with the phone) stumbled and rolled for about twenty feet on the paved road, well there was only minor scratches to the case and the phone was intact.
SO the good thing is that the case is really protecting the phone BUT the case is not securely attach to the bike.
I have a Garmin heartrate belt and a cadence/speed sensor from Garmin and both work flawlessy with the Digifit Software.
If they could improve the bike mount, it would be perfect.
