You ever get an idea in your head and you just KNOW someone else has thought of it so you take yourself to the interwebs and get your google on ready to BUY only to discover that there is nothing out there like what you want? Yeah. That happened to me this week.
It started because I wanted to have a bluetooth speaker in my car for this navigation app I use and love. I soon realized that I needed a phone pocket. (@waze for anyone looking for such a thing)
I know that there are all kinds of gizmos out there that will hold your phone for you. They all require suction cups or air vent access and it’s just not what I am after. I want a sleeve, a pocket, a thingamabob that I can safely put my iphone in ON my sunvisor next to my new speaker. Something with the mic towards my face so that it will pick up my voice. Something that will keep me from the dangerous habit of holding my phone at my face (but not at my ear).
I found this car kleenex holder on etsy and that sort of begins to capture what I want. But then I want there to be a groovy (and obviously plaid) iphone case situation. And of course a clear front so that I can see and press end call.
I created a sketch in case I am not explaining this very well.

Hmm. Seems like it shouldn’t be too difficult to make. It would sort of be line one of those arm band thing for working out but instead it’s one that would go around the visor. I could look and see if I could find some fabric although I’m not positive what I would do for the front part. Let me think about it though.
What about clear vinyl, like they sell on giant rolls for tablecloths? I don’t have an iPhone, so I’m not sure if it would work with the touch screen, but it might be an option.
You’re right Kate that would probably work well. I looked at one store today and didn’t see anything that would work but have a couple of other places I can check.
oooh! good thinking about the arm band market….hmmmmmm
I KNEW you crafty types would know something to try.
I can make you something tonight.
I bet this person would make you one in plaid….

Genius idea. I want one too.
I would look at the waist belts that they make for insulin pumps too. They come in funky patterns and I know that some have a clear panel on the front so that the pump buttons can be accessed. You could modify it to fit your visor with scissors and sticky velcro.
