Just did this today with some 550 paracord i had laying around. Amazing. Thanks for this idea!

Another simple solution is to just slip the back of your case over your passenger side sun visor.

Kinda ghetto but gets the job done.

Very resourceful! Well done!

Although I did not hear ANY sound when you switch to the earphone jack.

Excellent solution.

You should patent the string:ipad-peacock:

Great idea, but remember: Operating a vehicle while using your iPad for anything other than navigation (e.g., watching videos, TV, browsing the web, etc.) is illegal in most (if not all) states.

And on the AUX input for sound: If you drive a Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln product with the SYNC system, just connect via Bluetooth and all your audio (from videos, music, audiobooks, whatever) streams to the car stereo without any wires.

Not sure I'd want to cover up my radio.

Great idea tho

Trust a $600 to $1,000 device to a piece of string? Yikes!

I've been using RAM mount products for 15+ years. Greatest things since sliced bread, and they have a plethora of mounts and accessories for the iPad.

Here's a DIY velcro mount:

If I need to use my iPad for navigation while driving, I currently just put my sun visor down and slip the original iPad case over as posted previously. That works great and no string required. Also great for passengers since back seat riders are able to watch videos with it positioned that high.

This might be a quick solution for a back head rest mount. Pop some string on and hang it from the head rest for one of the kids.... save me $40 bucks and would work just as well I would think.

Good idea. I use the iphone or gps for navigation but its a good idea for those with people in the back for the headrests. Very clever

 

[Demandarin]

Good finds. I did the ac vent method with string. Wrks perfectly except for damn glare...lol. N ipad sound dont be loud enuff to overshadow car noise n such.

At first I thought the OP was a nut. Amazing how inventive you can be on a super low budget. Nice JOB
