    I got one of these for my iPhone 7 about 6 months ago, T Mac did an awesome job. Everyone that gets in the truck thinks it was from the factory.

    I spool my charger cable around the base to keep it out of the way.

    I would buy this again in a second and wish I would have found it sooner!

    I have an iPhone6 with a thin Zagg bumper around it and one of those rings on the back of the phone but it appears that your design only comes up about 1/4 of the phone itself so that should not be an issue. (that thing makes it easy to hold the phone and the kid at the same time!)

    I'm also wondering if you can make the insert portion that goes into the console so that it comes up and has a lip to encompass the entire thing? I'm always chucking my house keys there and I'm sure I'll start damaging the center console soon. It's a lease truck...

    Let me know if you need measurements or anything. These are the things on my phone:

    @hogeyphenogey We could probably make something like that happen...You want an actual "cubby" insert in that the entire perimeter is walled vs just the tray base?

    [​IMG] this is what I'm using right now.

    I'd like something a little less in-the-way of the passenger seat.

    Great product! I have an iphone 6s with an otterbox commuter, the case makes it stick in the holder a little bit (snug fit!), which results in the holder pulling out of the tray when I remove the phone. Solved with a piece of double sided tape. Nice job Tim!!

    @oneworden Thanks for the props Joe, glad you're digging it months later!

    @jv_74 Thanks for the review. Filing a little bit off of the inner pocket walls where it is tight is a good way to loosen up that fit just a hair, but double sided tape is also a great solution! ABS Sands very easily and nicely - usually a several minute job to get it perfect. I do my best to get the fitments perfect, but with so many different phone/case combinations there is bound to be a slight variance in fit.

    @hogeyphenogey I will look into it and get back to you within a day or two with a quote!

    To those interested in purchasing, I've just created a website that you can now purchase through rather than playing the back and forth game in private messages haha. This should also speed up turnaround times a good bit.

    Thanks again for the support fellas,
    Tim

    Thanks Tim, I'll give that a shot - definitely wasn't trying to give you a bad review, I love this thing. Just wanted to share in case anyone else had a similar set up to mine. Good stuff man!!

    Double side tape is great, but sometimes the darn stuff doesn't let go. I've broken a few items trying to pull them off when I've used that tape. For this application I would use mounting putty. It's easy to use, remove and reuse.

    @jv_74 No worries, didn't mean to make it seem like I was getting defensive either haha, which I could see how it might get taken as such.

    Excited to show you guys a couple other things I have in the works soon.

    Yep, have one modeled up for this combo already! I've sold four of this specifically so far.

    Been using mine for a week. I absolutely LOVE it. Easy to use for navigation, easy to read a text (when it safe to do so blah blah blah), out of view from most other drivers and securely holds the phone while being easy to slide it in/out.

    @Plsteelers Glad you're enjoying the new setup!

    @Navy Jumper Thank you - also always good to hear feedback regarding fitment. I don't get to physically test fit each and every phone/case combination so this helps.

    @mn_keith You hit the nail on the head as far as the things that I dig about the setup too. I also think it's easier to type if needed vs something up along the windshield as your arm can rest on the console and is a lot more controlled. Or it's just as easy to slide out, and back in for a second too.

    Thanks for the love guys. TW has been keeping me busy after work cranking these puppies out!

    -Tim
