[G Tablet Accessories] alanhzl:
Hi all,

I just wanted to share my g tablet Car mount DIY solution without spending a lots of money.

The solution should work with other sizes of tablets as well.

Before you get started, please check out the attached pictures to get an idea of what the finished product would look like, and decide if it would fit your needs.

Tools you may need or already have:

a small saw or a multi tool with a mini saw on it

Parts required to build the mount:

"Clamp on" cellphone holder (refer to picture) from Family dollar ........ x2 ($5.50 each)

Good adhesive double sided tape ...... Radio Shack (3 strips for $1.99)

Things to consider before making this:

1. you should have some flat surface spaces on your dash to allow for the mounting, also refer to picture to get a general idea.

2. This require you to take off an "arm" from each holder. Look at your tablet and your holders, make sure you pick the right ones to be taken off. Consider all the plugs that need to go into the tablet, audio out, power etc etc...

Steps to build, for my setup:

For Holder # 1, (on left).

Saw off the right(or the stationary) "arm". Also saw off the bottom "clips".

****do not attempt to unscrew the screws on the holder and check out the mechanism on the inside, as it will deteriorate the integrity of the whole mechanism, and might not provide a firm grip for your tablet afterwards. ***

For Holder # 2, (on right)

unscrew the holder, and remove the "extending arm" along with all materials inside of the holder.

Attach both holders on to the "stands" that came with them.

find the perfect surfaces to attach each holder onto the dash individually, but make sure they are not too far apart where they could clamp on to the tablet firmly.

I also recommend keeping the foams on the arms to keep the tablet from being scratch by the arms.

Lastly, I also mount the removed-arm from Holder #2 to (on the dash of course) the bottom left corner of the tablet with double sided tape to help supporting the tablet.

Done,

This way of mounting works surprisingly well for me, i drove over all kinds of bumps, and the tablet still sits firmly on my dash.

Have Fun

Change Log :

** The position of the tablet is shifted down a bit, and in my case it actually worked out a little bit better for the viewing angle.

** The 2 bottom clips of Mount #2 is sawed off (i was using these clips for bottom support which was not sufficient), and I had to attach a piece of wooden block to the right mount (with double sided tape) to add more support (refer to pics), as the original mount eventually became tilted to the side and wasn't providing the gripping as it did when first started.

** The detached arm from the right mount (mount #2) is now place on the "bottom" (refer to pics) to provide a better bottom support. I also had to nail (use very small nails) the arm itself to a piece of wooden block to add more mounting surface for mounting the arm (refer to pics).

** I also added a couple layers of double sided tape between the grips and the foam to thicken the foam in order to ensure a firmer grip.

will update after some more extensive test of the mount, but as for now i do feel very comfortable with the mounting.
