Windscreen mount for Nexus 7

Here's my attempt at a dash mount:
$8 for a leather cover, $7 for a pair of kitchen cutting boards, and a few bits of velcro.
I tried the sticking the leather cover on the dash mat first with some velcro, and it works fine around town but isn't real stable on steep hills when offroad.
Stage two, I've stuck the cover to a cheap cutting board to give it a larger base to mount on. Hopefully it stops the Nexus from tipping over so easily.
I wanted to get the Brodit mount, but it's $69AU. My mount was less than $12AU:D
Eventually I want to get a proper dash/ windscreen mount once someone releases one that can also charge via the 4-pin connector.
Enjoy...

I found this car mount in Canada Computers use it in my BMW 335d. I have it secured to the cup holder which is at the right level for convenient viewing.
I attach an OBD Torque Scan to the vehicle so I can view the readings on the N7.
My Galaxy Note is mounted on the windshield and sync to my vehicle's Radio via BT. I often use the Google Maps/Nav to counter check the vehicle's NAV since Google Maps and traffic are more up to date.

Automatic 335?
:puke:

OP, this works really well if you go the windshield route.
Good suction, very stable.
