United-States What do you think of my iPod mounting solution?

Having realized that I use one of those leather afternarket items when transporting my iPod on my person instead of the white plastic clip thing supplied with my iPod Mini, I fabricated a car mount from the factory belt clip. It was just a matter of removing the belt clip assembly and sanding the (now) rough edge smooth to square it off. It was then a simple step to drill and countersink four holes to match the standard Panavise Mini Mount and attach using flat head nylon scvrews so as not to mar the surface of the iPod.

Best of all, adding an extra power outlet in the glovebox near the AUX port meant that all of the wires were hidden with the exception of the single lead running to the dock connector so my hot pocket and cupholders are still useable.

Pictures attached.

It's a lot smoother than any of the phone-type holders on the market.

What do you think?
