    Fits 2 phones side by side mint. I added sticky-backed felt to mine so the phones don't rattle while I'm driving (work, personal phones). Also can hold garage door opener, wallet, my radio clips to it when I have that set up.

    The other thing I don't have a picture of but I REALLY like was one of these:

    Here (one of two places available):
    upload_2022-12-20_14-0-26.jpg

    I did it, but the textured surface did NOT hold up well when I did it, so I need to re-try that maybe with some additional adhesive or something.

    Gas card, can keep an old license there as a backup, a second credit card in the vehicle in case you forget your wallet, etc etc.

    I've had this on my truck for years, but now it means even more as we lost Wrigley in early October.

    That is a touching tribute.

    We have our "Isis" ashes in our foyer so we see her every time we enter the front door.

    My wife also has a pendant in her car hanging on the rear view mirror.

    She gave us so much unconditional love...miss her!
