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

thingiverse

As mobile phones get increasingly larger, I've discovered that magnetic mounts which used to work flawlessly on earlier phones no longer have sufficient grip, causing my phone to fly off its mount upon any bump in the road. This cradle was specifically designed with that challenge in mind - a Nexus 5X in its case and secured to a CD-mounted magnetic mount. Of course, this solution may also be effective for other phones and/or automotive mounts, but no guarantees are made. If it does fit, however, it works remarkably well and is extremely unobtrusive. The front-facing surfaces have been minimized, providing just enough coverage to wrap around the entire bottom edge of the phone+case to ensure its primary function - preventing the phone from flying off its mount. The very bottom of the cradle has a subtle angle such that it perfectly aligns with the bottom of the phone+case. The CD mount's magnetic pad is beveled and mounted on a swivel to enable users to adjust the angle based on their car's dash slope. In my setup, I have this magnetic pad's angle set at its extreme limit, so the actual alignment may not be as ideal for other situations as it is for mine. The cradle features an ample cutout allowing for simultaneous USB charging and is cut all the way to the front to facilitate docking or removal while the cord remains attached.
