I've been hanging on to a heavy-duty plastic bracket for about three years now. I think it originally came off a car phone mount; a piece of someone else's junk saved from the skip. Now it seems almost perfect for modding into a handlebar mount, with the addition of some stainless steel M4 screws and a small rectangle of 6mm polycarbonate. Thin sheet rubber (again, saved off-cuts) serves to provide grip and some vibration cushioning.

Old phone bracket serving as bar clamp, screwed into iDry base. |

Only a single stainless steel M5 holds the iDry case in place. Will it be enough? |
The above photos show the disassembled iDry case; the top comes off simply by pushing out the hinge-pin, and the end locking handle comes off with two small screws.
Some more thin rubber sheet, laid inside, should help prevent scratching and provide a little more cushioning.

Thin rubber sheet and double-sided sticky tape ("for quickness"). |

Rubber sheet added to bottom and back. |
With that done, I needed to spray the in-your-face white. I had white, fluorescent orange or gloss black...

Sprayed gloss black (looks like grey in pic). |

Safety lock removed before spraying. |
Left to dry briefly before each light coat, then left to dry properly.
