oh wait one more thing...the safety of this. being rear ended (lets hope this never happens) or braking hard and the thing will go FLYING!

as for the color, you can go to a fabric store and buy automotive vinyl, which matches pretty decently with our plastic to wrap it with
The dock will not move at all, I will show in my DIY how its secured in place. As far as getting rear ended goes(hope that never happens also) Its still an unfinished piece, and I am still rigging up a back support piece for it that will not allow for any movement of the phone from the dock connector. Ive already tested braking really hard and its solid. As far as safety during an accident goes, whether the phone is in my lap or on the passenger seat or cupholder, its still a projectile. this at least provides a bit of security. Thanks for the comments chops, I will take your concerns into consideration when rigging up my backplate!
