Default iPhone mount for daystar dash

Ok. like many, I had trouble with my phone sliding away.
So I bought this rugged cover by Speck @ the Apple Store.
It grips well, and kept it from sliding, but then I got creative.
I took the rotating belt clip that came with the rubber cover, and screwed it to the back wall of the Daystar dash unit.
I used #6 screws with black snapping screw covers.

Now I can drive without worrying about the phone flying out my open doors....



OR I CAN FLIP IT TO WATCH A MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!



btw, movies sound great through the Infinity System!
(good thing too, because my movie screen is tiny. LOL)

Just don't leave it in there when you leave the Jeep. Lots of smash-n-grabs due to scum bags stealing GPS and Ipod and phones left in sight.

As my top and doors almost always stay off, I don't leave much of anything in there. ...and my iPhone and gun definitely leave the jeep with me everytime. Good advice though. Jeeps are easy to crack into.
