Default DIY Car Mount

http://lifehacker.com/5747897/how-to...ffice-supplies

I'm going to make it this weekend. I'll take pics and let you all know the results.

I have a 1994 Chevy Lumina (It just won't die), and it has a lip that goes over the front dash where the controls are for the heat. I can't stand window mounts, and any other mount I tried, I didn't like.

I tried searching for a car mount that clips or would clip onto something like the front of my dash, and I couldn't find anything. Google brought me to that project, and I am going to try it this weekend.

Anyone else try it? Do you like it? I am pretty stoked to do this, as I am a DIY kind of person.

I'll post back the results after I do it this weekend.

I don't think this will be nearly large enough to hold a Note, not by a long shot. It is an interesting KISS design though. I'm working on a "How To" for making a car dock out of Kydex. It will be far more work then the rubberband/paperclip one pictures, but will be more along the lines of a ProClip in design, but due to having everything in the mail, I wont be starting on the actual build until this weekend at the soonest, and thats if my Kydex sheets come in really fast.

It drives me nuts when people beg for "thanks", if you agree hit "Thanks".

There's quite a size difference between the evo and the note. But then again I may be wrong (wife claims it happens occasionally) .
