So I got this new iPhone 5 and they didn't have any mounts for my truck that I liked or would fit. So I decided to make my own.

Started with this

After I sanded it all down

After I applied epoxy

Looks awsome. Great job.

 

I always like seeing DIY stuff, but that looks like a flying missile if you hit a bump and need stop fast. I would find some metal straps to better secure that.

But other than that, it may not look pretty, but its functional.

 

chive!

 

Actually you can't tell from the picture but the cell phone case that I have on bubbles on the corners. The inside of the mount itself contours in slightly so when I put it in it actually almost clips into place. Believe me, I made it so that it would fit in there very securely and not come out If I hit any bumps. Trust me its solid. Don't even wiggle. I know it is not the prettiest, the morning I made it I was not planning on doing so which is why I just used scrap from around the house. I was actually thinking about doing it again, but if I did I would actually go get the supplies I needed to make it look legit.
