Hi,
I've got a nexus 7 and was planning on using it as a Sat Nav on long journeys. using my iphone for every day trips. My Plan is a s follows:
Mount my iphone in the cubby using a foam cut out (think camera lens case etc.), that allows the cubby to shut. Any one know th inne dimensions of the cubby ( when shut) ?
Mount my nexus on the front cover of the cubby, but I'm not sure how to do this. I don't want the mount visible when its not in use so it needs to be easily removable. My ideas for this so far are:
1) some how using one of those circular suction pads. Not sure if they are strong enough or if there are issues gripping the cubby as the front isn't smooth, I also don't know how to attach them to my tablet.
2) Some sort of rubber band contraption that loops around the cubby and the tablet.
Anyone else got any ideas/thoughts?
The main idea is to have my iphone inside the cubby playing music and the nexus outside the cubby doing the Sat Nav/Internet etc.
Many thanks
#EDIT
I think option 2 is going to be the easiest, i already have a case with a front cover if a flip the cover over to the back I could then stick it behinds some rubber bands wrapped around the cubby. My case is a couple of mm wider than the cubby so the bands won't really be visible. Only question would be the stress the bands place on the cubby release catch. I think the tablet might be heavy enough to hold the cubby down and release some pressure.
I'm have no luck sourcing the bands though. Think I need 6-8" length, 0.5" width preferably in black made with rubber or silicone.
