Galaxy S3 Car Mount W/ NFC Tag
Description
I designed this mount for my Samsung Galaxy S3 without a case. It mounts into my CD slot that is .125" tall.
The center blind hole and cap are for a NFC tag. I used NFC Task Launcher and their 1" dia. tag.

Hi really like your design. Would it be possible to upload the source? I want to modify the holder so that it can fit onto my UP! printer bed. I tried importing the stl in sketchup but couldnt view the model. Thanks!

Haha, I never thought of making something that mounted in an old media slot.
My old truck might be getting a GPS holder for it's 8 Track deck!
This keeps making me laugh, "CDs, Meh; I'll stick some plastic in there instead."
