iPhone mount - advice/recommendations please

New job, and will be commuting 10 miles there, 10 miles home, then gonna be zipping round during the day too, so planning on using the iPhone for navigation... 
I'm thinking durability, visibility, waterproof-ability...
And easy to get phone in and out as I'll need to be removing/inserting it all day... But I guess there might be a trade-off between quick release (i.e. phone pops out of case easily) and durability (i.e. phone doesn't pop out of case when you go over a pothole!)...

 

Feeling a bit blinded by science/choice reading all the reviews...
If you have any personal words of wisdom please share!

Thank you in advance

For "durability, visibility, waterproof-ability" etc you could use one of these:

Another vote for the Topeak, had one for my iPhone 5 and just bought for my 6 ( fingerprint unlock still works inside the case).

Shop around cos I saw it cheaper at Evans  2 but have Amazon Prime so like fast delivery.

 

Used to have a cheap case but pointless in any bright light a too much reflection.

The Topeak case is good.  Mine's survived numerous monsoons and a couple of winter 'dismounts'.  You can get additional bar mounts so you can move it between bikes.  Not everyone's 'cup of tea' as it isn't the sleekest looking thing, but if you don't like the look of an iPhone on your bars then you're into Garmin territory.
