Hello!

My wife ended up with 2 of these when she only needed one. They are customer 3d printed CF phone/tablet holders that securely lock into one of the 3 cup holder slots on your i3. They are magnetic so it's very easy to remove whichever device you decide to attach and take it with you or toss it in the glove box. Asking $25 shipped. Any questions, let me know! Thanks!

ahhh i want one too!

can I just buy the file from you to save on shipping :) ?
 
That is a great idea. It would be amazing if it reached all the way up to eye level. How hard would it be to redo the spec for something to reach up higher?

Proclip makes an excellent mounting base for i3. Doesn't take a cupholder space, doesn't need screws or tape.

Yes, they do!, I ordered one and it just arrived today. Clips into the dash perfectly - very nice solid mount. I ordered the ProClip i3 base only. I re-used a Nite-Ize Steelie magnetic mount from my previous car, attaching it to the ProClip base to hold the phone. Added beni with the Steelie mount, is it holds the phone out from the ProClip base about an inch or so on the magnetic ball-and-socket, so the phone is not right up against the vent, and is easily tilted to a good viewing angle.

Would you mind posting a pic ? Thanks.

Here your go.

Both the ball and the socket mount on with 3M adhesive disks - which can be purchased by themselves from Nite Ize - (got mine on eBay), for moving the mounts. I've moved the socket to two different phone cases now, and this is the second car for the ball mount. Just takes a thin-blade knife to pry up the mount a bit, and it can be pulled off, and the adhesive peels off without leaving any residue or mark.
