Lightbulb (Custom) Window Seat for Evo

Back in the day (2yrs ago) I used the product from Griffin called the “window seat” for my Itouch and I loved it. It never fell, The support was firm meaning when I hit bumps (potholes and the occasional prostitute) the device wouldn’t move but I could easily move it with my hand. so here’s my idea, I am going to get another Window seat (comes with the mount kit/arms an Itouch bracket and an iphone bracket) and cut the mount case for the iphone so that just the back connector is left (basically cutting the case part off). Then I will gorilla glue the bracket to a chepo hard evo case which will serve as my new mount, best of all I can Qik my drives with it being mounted in the window (makes me feel like a celebrity…Now where’s my Bentley?)

My question to you: What hard case would be your first choice? (Think cheap and durable and has to be hard plastic)

Edit: saw this in the other custom mount thread and i think i will take his advice and go with the case from handhelditems.com

Here is a pic of the windows seat so you can get an idea of how it will work.

Great idea... I need something like this for my Evo to sit in my pop up nav compartment.. Any places that sell this Griffin product on the cheap?

I like your thinking on this. My dashboard, however is not a perfectly smooth surface (2000 Honda Civic), would this thing stick?

probably not if its a soft surface, that's why i stick it to the windshield and hang it right below my rear view, my dash wouldn't allow it to stick lol
