So this is for the cheapskates out there like me that dont feel like paying $30 for a simple bent piece of metal. I looked at the clip idea from proclips and thought of my daughters frog tank in her room and the metal tank lid clips we use to secure it on. They are very similar to the proclip idea so I went to cutting and bending them to clip onto my Prius dash. After a bit of cutting, bending and simple spray-paint heres what I ended up with.
All this is is the simple tank lid clip cut to fit and a cheap swivel mount cell phone holder for $5-$10 screwed to the clip.

Here is what the clip looks like installed with no holder. As you can see the clip does push in the center plastic just a bit but it doesn't bother me at all, and it creates enough room and organization for me to even prop the Ipad up for navigation in the center.
I will post a step by step if it is wanted. Just thought I would share how to make your own "proclip" style holder for under $10 total.
