I modified a cheapo case for the phone to have a couple of 'buttons' over the rocker so they are easier to press

I would only use it during testing/practice personally as it still means you need to press a button as the car passes you, and as my driving is bad enough I don't need any additional distractions during a race, but it's a low cost way of seeing lap times - provided you have the hardware of course...
