    Just got an iPhone 7 with the platinum D30 case do you have a mount for this one yet? Interested in ordering one!

    Right side of mine broke also. I pm'd the OP, just waiting for a response. It really worked well for the time I had it, would love to have another.

    One of mine broke too, just used super glue. Too good of an idea to get rid of it.

    @T MAC posted a while ago that he’s not making these anymore.

    Has anyone else found one for sale?

    This has been awesome, but I’d like another that can incorporate a wireless charging adapter, so we no longer have to plug in our phones.

    The mount doesn’t move in place, my phone doesn’t move in the mount, and it’s been great. Just needs an update.

    Hola gentlemen. I did stop making these things for the masses, but someone else can definitely run with the idea if they want. It was awesome seeing the interest in these, but I started focusing efforts elsewhere (It started taking up a decent amount of time, and I have a full time deal/family/friends/hobbies/etc.). Wireless charging would be nice...Might have to see what we can do here haha.

    Thought about that, or one of the engineers I work with.
    Totally understand that!
    It seems like such a obviously good idea/mount location but you’re the only one doing it.

    I prefer the TechDeck, not sure if they still make them but I like the versatility of mine and the location. I feel like that set up in the OP is not a natural spot to look at your phone when in GPS mode. * just sits to low IMO. Cool product though!!

    Hey man, I was one of your first orders, I broke mine a while back but I fixed her right up. Still love it just as much today.

    I actually got a 3D printer for Christmas too. This was the first thing I though of too, not trying to steal your idea or profit off of it either, But I would love to design this but with one stack of quarters on the opposite end of the phone. I just got CURA and Fusion 360, but being brand new at all of this, Fusion 360 feels nerve racking. Like I'm drowning and there's no hope in sight lol

    I can’t figure out how to make “supports” to connect the tray to the “phone”. I’m thinking of adding a dime holder beside the quarter holder. This is the first time I’ve ever messed with any CAD/design program

    I have one I do not use since I use a different case now and it does not fit any longer. What phone are you guys using? What are the dimensions and I can see if it is possible the one I have might work.

    Do you know the dimensions, thickness and width? I believe the one I have is set up for the iPhone 7 with a relatively thin case. I will see if I can get it out this evening and measure it.

    Definitely won’t fit. Your phone is way too big. Sorry.

    BUMP. Just spent the morning looking for this thread bc we need something to use in that space. I’ve spent 12 years in my truck having my phone diagonally placed in that area which isn’t big for anything except maybe a pen and highlighter. Otherwise useless indention next to the shifter. Does anyone with 3D printing capability have anything that could work here. I think this could be huge for tacoma owners especially 2nd gen with limited mounting options!

    Am I the only one that thinks the placement is too low? I don’t like taking my eyes off the road glancing down at it.
