Did not mean to bring this back up but I have been thinking the same thing the OP has, just want a clip-on 3d-printed "bracket" or "holder" for a tablet.
I may just do one for my phone temporarily but something that just clips on to the cubby's edges and lets you lay your tablet in place in front of the cubby. That way, you don't lose the storage and you can still have access to buttons etc...
