Schoshe's Reqkase (say that five times fast, or even once correctly)  is case that mounts on your bike and protects your phone from falling out of your bag or pocket while also distracting you from running over old ladies at crosswalks. The case is black silicone and can display vertically or horizontally. It offers no rain protection or crash-protection and, as of press time, no airbags. But it's perfect for people who use their bike for all their transportation, or cycling enthusiasts who want to follow some GPS directions and calorie-counting apps while they pedal away.
