Great concept, but only good execution

I purchased this to go on my mountain bike, while on a trainer.

Pros:
- It clips on to the handlebars easily, and is fairly tight when using the included piece of rubber to prevent slippage and rotating.
- Easy access to headphone jack, and top buttons, and the edges don't protrude too far to impair access to soft buttons

Cons:
- The only metal part of this is the actual bracket that the nano slides into. The clip is plastic, so it can't be bent to make a tighter fit.
- The bracket is fine for me on a stationary bike, but it is a little too big for the nano, so if you're actually out riding around, or on a motorcycle, the nano will jump around in the bracket somewhat. Not that it will fall out (assuming you've got headphones plugged in), but it should've been made with tighter tolerances.
- No access to bottom dock. I've got a par of Sony bluetooth headphones that have an adapter for non-bluetooth enabled iPods, but as you can see from the picture, there's a piece of metal on the bottom of the bracket, which completely blocks the dock. So you'll need to use traditional, wired headphones.

All in all, I'm satisfied with it, as it fits my needs. But for the price, it could've been made better.

**UPDATE**
Thanks to Michael R. Hubrich's suggestion (which should've been obvious to me), I put my nano in upside down so that the dock is accessible, and was able to use my bluetooth headphones. So I'm adding 1 star for extra functionality.

However, the clip is still not tight enough, even on a trainer, to prevent the unit from rotating on my handlebars. I suppose part of the issue could be that I pedal pretty aggressively, but the nano is so light, it really shouldn't move at all.

The tips of the clip flare out a bit, so I will try using a zip tie to try and clamp it tighter.
