I think those little arms are going to snap off the moment you try to wrap your cable around that with any sort of snugness.

they wont. they're 5 mm in diameter and im debating whether to have this made out of abs or ultem. if the cost isnt much more for ultem, im going to go that route since i can print both in black

That's 5mil!? Bracket must be rather large then. Look forward to the physical so I can see a proper sense of scale.

Alright, so here is the first prototype. I guess I didn't account for the right angle, but it turned out quite well. I tested it on my phone today. Here are some pics
Now here are the reasons why I need to go back and edit the design slightly: Notice the that the top doesn't touch the angled edge: The backside is nice though: And the distance from the panel needs to be increased because it's starting to press into the panel itself: Going to re design and print next week. Will update you guys after the Mark II.

A for effort, but why not use something that already exists, and looks really clean aesthetics wise?
Not my photo, but I have the same clip mount for the CD thing, and it works beautifully and looks clean. Amazon.com: Koomus CD-Eco Universal CD Slot Smartphone Car Mount Holder for all iPhones and Android Devices: Cell Phones & Accessories

I'm a Mechanical Engineer, so I like designing and analyzing things. Thought I'd share with others. Thanks for the input though Nick M and madeinjapan.

I'd have to see a side profile with it rotated horizontally to see the clearance.
Now as far as aesthetics...it's kind of thrown out the door when trying to incorporate cable management without making this too big and costly. I do like the one the original guy did, but he didn't have cable management. ProClip 370Z Mount + Droid Holster review He used fiberglass to design it, so it allows for a bit more play in the aesthetics department compared to using a CAD software like I am using (it's SOLIDWORKS if anyone was wondering). But I am going to play around with aesthetics after I get the fitment to the panel correct. so we shall see.
