Let's see it. I could add an Ipad onto it instead.

I needed the tablet on the fly and like the idea of it also being in the car and a small screen wont cut it for me so ….
Items needed to complete tablet storage
Leatherette ‘’ Samsung’’
Clear screen overlay ‘’ Berklin’’
Velcro - ‘’Command Brand’’
Permanent Marker ‘’Sharpie’’
Glue’’3M Spray Adhesive’’
Punch hole’’ for camera’’
ALTERATION STORE
Auxiliary cable or A2DP
(6” aux is to short unless you mount case lower or make hole on bottom of case to connect)
OK First start by measuring your tablet and case by placing tablet inside and finding the outer edge of the tablet..There is space between the edge of the tablet and end of the leatherette
This is your starting point to measure. I personally wanted to have a little of the black part of the screen showing so I ended up with a larger center square. So from that point I measured ½ inch but the top and bottom I just used the edge of the case to mark my beginning point. Then I made outline with a marker and took it to the alteration shop AKA Shoe repair. I requested silver stitching to match my knee plates..
Take the screen cover and remove only the side that isn’t tacky from the screen protection. This is the side you will glue to your leatherette. Once you remove your tablet the leatherette still look like a regular screen and its not like a ugly hole in the case.
I measured 1inch from center and eye ball the top and bottom.. I placed the Velcro on the cubby lid then place the leatherette to get the fit I wanted. I finished with the black marker where the cut was made to cover the core of the case..
Driving for a month I notice I needed to add a foam on the bottom because the slight play and taking it in and out all day long for work and security also I found adding another Velcro piece inside to loop[ on top ,middle point would give support to the case so it wouldn’t slump outwards, other than that boyz n gurlz get ready to turn heads for a $20.00 mod..LOL unless you don’t have the case/tablet etc… cubby still function like factory too…ENJOY!!! also if you want i have a DIY on f-1 Light using your factory fog light another $20 LOL

FYI.. I dont remove my case.. i just take the tablet and transfer it to another case but i could at anytime remove the one that is mounted because of the velcro..
The first pic is without tablet inside, still looks good
Second is taken around sunrise and with the hatch open, still clear
Check out the pics at night in my album.. That'z when all those SUV'S AWW at the screen

Looks like i found another setup that's more or less looks like mine. though i'm using Tab 7.7

Iwan72 --Please give more rather then less because it doesn't leave room for the imagination of what you said. If u want credit that you took a tablet case- stitched it to frame it then placed protective screen then I will delete this thread and give you Rep but if you just mount it more or less than hit me with Rep man

Oh heyy i'm just saying hello to a new member of the ''tab on dash'' family
