How’s your close-up vision?

I ask because I once got a dash mount for my phone. It placed the photo too close to easily read.

A windshield mount, though, positioned the phone in just the right location. 

Not great anymore uncorrected, but fine with glasses cool

Why not just a piece of aluminum with a 90 bent in the front pop riveted to the top of the cubby? Hit the easy button?

Or did my reading comprehension fail and I miss it?

was hoping for quick removal and a "leave no trace" uninstall. Plus not sure if rivets would impede sliding the cubby into the dash - probably not, but would have to check.

You could probably find a rubber ball or stress ball that would wedge in there easily. After you place some neoprene on the outside of the metal. And/or bend a downward facing lip on the bottom metal strip to rivet to the front strip that mounts to the phone to hold it tightly in the cubby.

A rubber ball is actually a great idea if I can find the right size.

Is that a single DIN slot? Would there be a prefab option if so?

Sevenracer, I like your idea, but I'm worried about putting pressure on the insides of that cubby. That plastic is old, and a quarter twist too much on a tensioner could crack it. What about flipping the Aluminum creation upside down from the orientation you have it in, so that the weight of the phone does cause it to sag/droop under the phone's weight? All I think you'd need is a chunk of Velcro at the back wall of the cubby, mated to the Aluminum mount, to hold it in place.

I'll be gentle, I promise! Seriously, I think it would be ok with a rigid enough metal and suitably squishy foam or neoprene.

Now, your idea about flipping and velcro-ing in the metal is interesting. If I velcro to the floor and side wall of the cubby, I could still have pretty much the entire space available for my stash.
