Default Easiest Tablet Install?

For those of you who have installed a tablet into the cubby above our radio, what have you seen or used for the easiest fitment?

I know Ipad minis are pretty much perfect for the hole but are there any androids that are close?

You will want to stick with a 6-7" screen size.
I think most go with Android Nexus tablet it seems, easy to fit, throw in a custom ROM and a few extra controls and you never have to take it out. Powers up when the car is on (and off when the car shuts off), bluetooth, good quality screen, etc.

I believe the Nexus 7 is almost identical to the iPad mini. At least I know that my N7 fits over the cubby very similarly.

I just had time to work on this again, here it is:
IMG_20150417_202952_2.jpg

The gap around the sides/bottom is ugly and I plan on filling it in later, but for now i need it for all my temp wiring (and to press the power button on the tablet)

Also, sorry for shitty phone camera.

Anyone seen a thread with the mini and its removable? Maybe using an otter box? That'd be perfect haha

I like the stock head unit, it works just fine. Plus its the touring no nav, so I would have had to get a base face plate and a new head unit. I only use the tablet for gauges and google maps. Plus this way the tablet is removable for updates, changes, anti-theft blah blah.
