Even while using the navigation system built into my car, I like to use Waze on my iPhone for real-time traffic conditions and early warnings for speed limit enforcement. I have struggled for some time to locate my phone where I can easily see the screen without taking my eyes from the road. Not able to find a commercially available solution that I liked, I decided to design my own. The biggest challenge was finding a point of attachment for the stalk which positioned the phone cradle in the optimal position and at the ideal angle. I achieved a robust and easy-to-install solution by designing a perfectly sized insert for my center column cup holder. I used carbon fiber in the stalk and made two matching inserts for my other cup holders.  This invention of necessity was good enough for first place at today’s Part of the Week contest. When Jeanine spotted the new addition to my car she immediately requested that I build her one.
