Does anyone know where I can get a somewhat water/dust resistant case that I can mount to a motorcycle handlebar?
I can figure out the brackets if I can find the 'tupperware' to put it in.
I can't find a case that lets me access the side buttons
Look at the other stuff on their website if you can deal with 'lesser' protection. A sealed case should be able 'take' calls with Blue Tooth.
Since I'm a very active motorcyclist, I guess I have to ask: How reachable to you really want to be? Even though I'm on call 24x7, I get on the bikes to get away from it all. When I stop, I check messages or email.
I let folks know that I will be on the bike or at the gym, there will be short black out periods. Make it their problem.
Good luck, let us know how the mounting goes. If you have money from the above left over, there are companies that make 'universal' mounts for bikes. Whitehorse Gear - RAM Holders
Just look at any large BMW or a Gold Wing.
Wayne Orwig would like to see what you come up with for a mounting. I agree with answering by BT instead of being wired. I'll probably go with a windscreen suction cup thing myself or in the map window atop my tank bag.

None of the waterproof cases give access to the side buttons. Can't turn it on.
The deal is:
a) I seldom use the phone, and I have only once used a phone while driving a car and just for a few seconds (an "I WILL BE 10 MINUTES LATE", click).
But, being into gadgets:
b) I have a wired intercom/music/GPS setup with a bluetooth interface. So, it should auto answer and I can talk. Leaving the phone on my belt.
c) But I ride for hours at a time, so will likely toss the phone in a tank bag and plug in the charger to keep it alive on occasion. Just for the gadget guy in me I wouldn't mind mounting it where I could press the power and voice command buttons.
J&M Audio make a pricy wiring harnass that allows you to mount the phone somewhere dry and answer the phone via the helmet headset .... I wired it up on my Harley Ultra ... hehehe ... course ... my callers have a hard time hearing me over the 110cu of rumble through rheinhart tru-duals ... but it does help keep the all but important calls to a minimum ... heehehe ... harnass also charges the phone ... I mounted mine in a water resistant pouch mounted behind the windshield ... since it's only water resistant ... I put the phone in a zip lock bag while in the pouch ... the phone stayed dry in a severe thunder storm in Sturgis last year ... even if I didn't .... hehehehe
