Put it into a bento behind the stem and it never sees the light of day.

Busy building a new P5 w/ eTap and exactly what I'm doing. Hidden from the wind and sweat.
Will wrap it in rubber / plastic for extra protection from moisture. I do lose space in my Bento for a couple gels but worth it.

Is there any chance the Blipbox could fit under the step cover plate? I'd rather not have to look at it.

I ultimately put the Blipbox on the top tube. Then I cut a piece of sandwich bag plastic and taped it around the box and it's cable connectors. Can still see and access the buttons fine, but it's pretty well protected. Might take a loss in a few concours points tho.

*Stem cover plate

Not even close.

i wonder why they havent yet made a silicone cover for it

What about the cables? Do they not get in the way when steering? Seems like they would rub and create problems.

I did end up having to cut and modify my bento box a bit - its the hard Profile Design Attck - to make some clearance for the cables to move back and forth with steering. The cables are long enough that steering isn't restricted. I think this will however depend on your set-up, what box you use, spacers, etc.
I then put some electrical tape around the cables where they exit the stem to protect them from rubbing.
Will try post a photo at some point.

I have the 3T Aduro High Mount on my p5, so I had to find a way to mount the blipbox. I designed and 3d printed a mount that attaches to the aduro bridge via a 5mm screw.

I've made it available to 3d print from shapeways.com https://www.shapeways.com/...elo-p5-with-3t-aduro for $35.

It uses the standard garmin mounting system, so you can alternatively mount your garmin on it.
