I was working on a rough draft for a phone holder using the accessories slots. The arm that goes into the slot seems to be working well so I guess I can design it to hold whatever I want now. Any other ideas of what to hold?

1) where does one put one's KEY. If you throw it on the seat, you might forget it. In my pocket, if you move around the buttons press and it like opens the hatch!

2) juice boxes/larger bottles/snacks?

3) trashbag/bin holder?

4) ID organiser...(i.e. - I have a card I have to get out and tap to get into two different parking lots. I have my Chargepoint cards, my door ID for work...

This is what i have so far:

1) Links if you have a 3D Printer:
-iPhone 6/s Holder (Both with and without case models will be included in the link):

--iPhone 6/s Plus Holder (Both with and without case models will be included in the link)(These haven't been tested with a phone, I just used dimensions off Apple's website):
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1300138
-Simple Sunglass Hook:

-Key Holder:

2) Links if you don't have a 3D Printer and need to purchase. (Again, I'm not making any money using this site. It's just how much they charge for the service. If anyone has a cheaper site let me know).
-iPhone 6/s Holder (If you're not using a case on your phone):

-iPhone 6/s Holder (If you are using the standard Apple case on your phone):

Stay tuned, still working on & refining more designs.
 
Any chance you could make a cupholder similar to the oem one but about an inch larger in diameter?

There's a place I get drinks from that has abnormally fat cups that don't fit into the regular cupholders :cry:

I did end up making a cup holder. On testing it the tab that inserts into the car broke with heavier liquids. I was going to attempt to make the tab as a separate piece so it could be printed stronger, but my SSD died so I lost all the files. All that's left are the STL files at thingiverse. I haven't gotten around to starting over.

This looks great. The only thing it's missing is a cutout at the bottom so you can charge the phone while it's in the holder.

Can you post the interior dimensions of the hole the phone slides into? I want to measure to see if the family's phones can fit in there with their cases.

Thanks!

I'm out of town at the moment, but I can get the dimensions to you next week if you still want them.
