Budvase iPhone Holder on the VW Beetle

Filed under: PDAs and Phones — Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am

I owned a VW Beetle for six years. During that time, I owned THREE smartphones. I had always longed for something to easily hold my phone at dashboard level and I never ONCE even considered using my bud vase.

What the heck was the matter with me?!!

Nathan Barry, on Flickr, has created this AWESOME iPhone holder using the budvase on his Beetle:

Works perfectly, and the iPhone picked one of my all favourite tunes for the test run! It holds the iPhone securely and safely in easy view from the driving position, pops on and off very easily, and it’s close enough for the speakerphone mode to negate the need for any handsfree kit.

You can see all the photos here:

Very cool! It makes me almost wish I had my VW Beetle back, until I remember the never-ending struggle with the Check Engine light. Maybe I can hack something like this for my Prius…
