I would suggest foam over elastics. (harmonic vibration) You can easily
cut a square hole the size of the Archos in a small block of semi dense
packing foam. This can hold the box secure while allowing you to see the
display and use the controls. Of course, you would have to attach a
cheesy piece of foam to your cherry ride.
I hate to say it but get a fanny pack, or something else that holds the
box securely to yourself so that you can still feel the buttons through
the cloth. Bicycle shops have some cool neoprene pouches for cyclists.
