Garmin Phone Mount
 
hey guys, i've always wanted a nice sturdy mount for my car, that doesn't keep shaking or falling, at the same time to be reasonably priced.

first, i've got this idea from lifehacker .com, and i thought i would try it out. i used a garmin mount, that i stuck onto my phone case with 3m double tape.

the good thing about this, is you can take it form one car to another, and since i'm using a case for my phone, it has a hole for the camera, so i can also take videos.

anyways, here are the pics...


here's the phone with the case

phone + case from the outside...notice i stuck the thing further away from the camera, because if it was any closer, part of the mount will show up in the picture.

Looks great, now with the case sealed to the clip do you have to remove the phone from the case every time you exit the car?

i chose this case, because it's very easy to remove the phone... even when i get a call, i just take it off, and then snap it back on

I wouldn't like reaching for my phone while I was driving, but good improving

Thank you, but after using it for a while I must say its a little difficult to unmount once u get a phone call...I'll try n modify the case so its easier to get the phone off.
