Not lost my iPhone while on the road. Stayed in my jersey pocket even during a couple of falls on some slick rocky terrain. I do keep my phone in a Silca Phone Wallet, though.

My route I use for a quick ride is about 40K/25mi (but has decent climbing).
For organized rides I only consider rides at least 80K/50mi. Metric century is my favorite distance.
