Looks good to me How's the vibration/movement when on uneven roads?

I've been considering getting a tablet setup for my Z as well. Problem is, up here in the North the roads are unforgiving. A lot of vibration/movement with any mods I do the for cabin drive me crazy (definite show-stopper if it's shaking and jigglating all over the place).

I am from Michigan, and we have terrible roads. After a month of driving it still feels very solid. That metal bracket is screwed to the cubby door using the stock screw locations mid-door on the cubby. I also covered the bracket in faux microsuede before mounting it. It produces zero extraneous buzzing.

Hate to see the mess when you take off the velcro.

No velcro sir. Screwed to the cubby door.

I cut two strips of velcro and made two long slits in the back of the case for my Nexus7. I wrapped the velcro around the cubby door, through the slits in the case and tightened the velcro. When I close the cubby door, the velcro is held in place and the tablet does not move at all. I used it like this during ZdayZ and was very happy with the results. On the tablet, I am running Torque Pro and it connects through bluetooth.

I liked this idea so much that I am claiming I came up with it and I also tried it with my iPad mini (revised slightly). Works phenomenally well!

I was reminded at today's NoVA MAZOC meet that I never got back to you on this. Apologies:
