Hello! For GPS and MTB the following German company seems to be an insider-tipp:
http://www.bikertech.de/html/english.html http://www.bikertech.de/ (German only) http://www.bikertech.de/webshop/ (Shop) For my MTB I am actually using an "RK-Klick-1" with the universal mount "PDA-VAR" for my N73, but maybe this would fit for the Freerunner also. Waterproof bags with mount are available also: "PDA-Tasche" Not very cheap but very useful... Kind regards!
