Default Custom iPhone Mount (cubby hole) my project

Hey guys,

So yes I am new here, new to my Z also only about 3 weeks or so (got a Silverstone Base model). Now since I have the bare bones edition my nav hole is pretty naked only being used for what? nothing.

that and considering my other love/job (my iPhone, I also work for Apple) I saw a great opportunity. Between the car being small and shifting no room for me to really hold my phone (I use it as a Nav) while driving. Well this project here cost about $5 to make and turned out awesome, here are some pics of the build and the final product.

Let me know what you think! (pics taken at night w/ iphone)

Materials:
Plywood I had in my garage
iPhone holder ive had for ages
black fabric from walmart ($5)

yes it still opens and closes perfectly fine; also small notch on right side soon to be for power cable
