Default Bike Holder

Has anyone else have experiences with buying a bike holder and attach the phone to the handlebar?

I bought this one but it doesnt fit on the handlebars of my racing bike. And it doesnt feel too sturdy

Fits great, I also added thin sponge behind it since it's so thin...
I've used it back in my desire days also for one year or more.

I know it's not normal to ask for money if you aren't a developer, so I won't. However, if you feel like it, I won't turn it down. I have been out of work, despite looking for a job, for nearly a year and a half. My paypal donate thing is on the side there.

Current phone :
HTC One S (UNITED BASICS by troby86, rooted)

And screen reads just fine, etc?
I think I'll try both, let you know which one I like best.

edit: actually nevermind, the shipping costs to Holland are a bit too steep for the ThinkGeek one to simply test it. It also looks like it may not be able to "hold" when you're going over bumps, since it is only attached to the bike by a rubber band.

I ordered this one and sent an email to this company as they seem to have nice sturdy, waterproof bikeholders for the HTC Desire, but not yet for the HTC One S

edit2: And the company said they expect a waterproof bikeholder in the 2nd week of july:

Actually it holds really well because it's not rubber. It's plastic. And it has rubber inside for grip but ratchets really tightly. I've jumped curbs, hit potholes, and actually crashed, but it never let go of the phone. And I've seen it grab the One S just as well.
