Better options:

BarFly or Quarq, lighter, cheaper

This custom gem I think is the best:

Starship Enterprise version

Not sure how you're looking at the pictures, but they look the same to me. I could have posted the pics, but why?
Anyway, the unit can be bought at this link, but is not available 'til july 5th as the page says.

Waiting for feedback.

I will be waiting for feedback on how long it lasts.

SRM bought out an alloy clamp to overcome the problems of the plastic mount getting "sloppy" - they used to last only 6-12 months before they fractured.

Many Al alloy's are crystalline in nature, and appear to fracture in environments where there is significant vibration - a computer mount on a bicycle with the weight at the extremity will be very vulnerable to this mode of failure.
