I want a way to mount my iPhone and it's "BackPac" battery charger on my DS bike. Needs to be water proof and have room for some extras if needed.

Of course there are lots of high dollar options but that's no fun!

Found this box in the camping section at WallWorld. Less than $10 in parts.

Assembled with some JBWeld for water proofing.

Drying over night for mounting to the handlebar in the morning.

More pics to follow.

Box held up great, protected the iPhone and charger from lots of splashes and allowed me to record this!
