Cell phone mount

So I recently got a new phone and I wanted to mount it on my dash. I searched the internet and all I found was crap or nice mounts that cost way to much. So I couldn't get sleep tonight for some reason. I looked around at what I had. First attempt was a Altoids box but it had some sharp edges and I didn't like that.

So I looked around some more and found of all things the shell of an old microsoft mouse.

I still need to take the dremel to it and round some edges and clean it up some. Then I guess paint it with some of that Fusion paint for plastic. I will even glue the charging cord into place so it work like a docking station.

But now I can use google maps with my phones GPS to do directions for my service routes.

This is the mount I really want ,but everywhere you look it is currently sold out. I don't know whether or not the company stopped making them or what. I know they have a new version out that has a charging cord attached,but it's 70 something dollars. This one you can usually find listed for 20~30 but it's impossible to find in stock.

It would allow me to turn ir horizontal which would make for better viewing.

Same company makes this version in the vertical position both in passive and active(charger)

Why? I think it came out pretty good for being free. Granted it's not prettiest thing to look at but it works. I'm going to epoxy the charger into place and it should make a nice craddle/charging stationonce it's all cleaned up.
