Check out the RAM mounts. Its a modular system, so cruise their site to see the different mounts for handlebars that can then attach to the iPhone holder.

your ipod may have "shake to forward to next song" feature.
my iphone does and whenever i put it on my spyder it would be jumping to next songs. you can turn that off in settings.

i took a iphone holder and took the clip off and double sided taped it on my handle bar. easy on and off and stays put.

If that's not it, then try the Otterbox with Ram mounts. It's waterproof too.

You can also turn that option off.
I decided on a different approach as it seems everytime I get on the bike, I get rained on lately. I either connect the ipod to my Q2 if I remember to take the cable or just plug in ear phones. I store my Ipod in my pocket. I purchased this neat little watch that works out perfect. It give me the ablity to pause, volume, next and back controls without touching my ipod. It even controls it when it is locked to keep from me hitting buttons while in my pocket. I use it when I run as well as it's intended purpose. Love it. Long rides, I just put the watch on my bars so I can change with either hand. It has an adapter that plugs into your Ipod so the watch can control it..very small and I think it works with just about every Ipod.

Yup that is the problem I had. I couldn't figure out why my phone was skipping and then I realized I had it set to shake to next song. Once I turned that off, all was good.
