Description

!!!!!!!!!USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - DO NOT USE WHILE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!

This is a flexible steering wheel phone / tablet holder, cleverly designed to hook onto the back of the horn pad cover.

I created this to avoid using a hanging mount and risk scuffing up my leather steering wheel.

Crafted to minimize space this holder can be easily folded for storage convenience.

Now you catch up on your favorite shows while waiting for your kids to finish practice!

For optimal durability and to survive a hot automobile, I would recommend printing this in PETG.

Although PLA is also suitable if kept away from direct sunlight.

The holder comes in two pieces: the top and bottom.

Simply slide the top piece into the bottom, and you're all set!"

This seems like a bad idea for a few reasons. The second and less obvious one is that your airbag will turn your phone into a projectile at your face if you get in an accident.

Agreed, That's why I stated its not for use while driving. Also the mount will not stay on your steering wheel if its turned. This was made for Just sitting in the car to free up your hands. FYI , Airbags don't deploy if the vehicle is in park or turned off.

It's important to read the big red bolded text in the description before making such accusations. Many vehicles have entertainment focused features for the driver, but are not to be used while driving - this is no different.

Replying to @AskNinjaTom :

unless someone crashes into you while parked with the engine running for the heater (i do this often in winter on my lunch breaks). unlikely, but not impossible. so ya, no chance i'm putting my phone over my airbag. i'd suggest updating your notice to account for that edge case.
