Mobile phone (Nexus 5x) cradle for CD-mounted magnetic mount

thingiverse

As mobile phones get ever larger, I've found that the magnetic mounts which used to work so well on earlier phones no longer have enough grip, sending my phone flying off its mount upon any bump in the road. Thiis cradle was designed with that in mind, albeit for my very specific situation - a Nexus 5X in its case and held to a CD-mounted magnetic mount. Of course this may work on other phones and/or automotive mounts, but no guarantees... But if it does fit, it works very well and is very unobtrusive. The front-facing surfaces have been kept minimal, just enough to wrap around the entire bottom edge of the phone+case to ensure it can do its main job - to prevent the phone flom flying off its mount. The very bottom of the cradle has a very subtle angle such that it is in perfect alignment to hold the bottom of the phone+case. (The CD mount's magnetic pad is bevelled and on a swivel mount to allow the user to adjust the angle depending on the slope of your car's dash. Note that in my setup I have this magnetic pad's angle at its extreme limit, so the actual alignment of this design may not be as ideal for your situation as it is for mine.) The cradle features a generous cutout to allow for simultaneous USB charging and is cut all the way to the front to allow for docking/removal while the cord is still attached.
