Build a Custom Phone Car Mount For Under $10 [DIY]

Inexpensive phone mounts are as a rule disappointing with low-quality parts and a poor grip in your phone. This cheap DIY mount is slim, solid, and and should fit your phone perfectly.

Lifehacker reader Robbie Khan was sick of his cheap and crappy phone mount. It was bulky, it didn\’t hold his phone well, and the suction cup wasn\’t very effective. His clever, and value effective solution was to craft his own from cheaper and superior parts. He bought a universal Garmin GPS mount with a matching mount plate and an affordable hard case for his phone. When you\’ve never owned a Garmin GPS the mounts they include with their units are rock solid and-because of a lever-lock design inside the suction cup base-they\’ve got great persistence. He used automotive mirror glue to hitch the mount plate to the hard case of the phone and ended up with an ideal slim and stable case that fits like a glove.

Check out the link below to determine additional photos of the mount, the case, and the backplate glued on. Have a cost-effective but effective DIY hack-phone-related or otherwise-to share? Let\’s hear about it within the comments.
