Navi boot/cover

Finally got around to doing a fixed mount/wired install of my navi unit (Magellan Roadmate).Looking to get a simple cover ( like a sock) to slip over it when not in use,in parking lots etc.

Here are the dimensions of the unit I would need covered

Size : 3.30" H x 3.63" W x 0.69" D
Weight : 4.94 oz
Screen Size : 3.5" QVGA

Since its pretty small I was hoping you could use some smaller scrap pieces to make something like this out of alacantra or leather.If you would be up to doing something like this just let me know what you would need.(pics,unit,cost,etc.)

TIA

 

PM fail?

Either way, when you say "I was hoping you…" replace the word you with Alex. JPM sock.

 

no fail, its a valid request.

thanks i guess.

 

I went the wrong way about making my suggestion. Let me try again.

JPM YO! :bowdown: They'll hook that shiz UP!!! PM my boy Alex.

 

Why PM him...this is the Official JPM thread. Seems like a good place to make requests...might give others the idea to do the same.

 

I'll just be over there learning to read…

 

Here is a rough sketch of what i'm thinking about unit on left / unit with cover on right.

 

I think it's cool these requests are viewable....ideas promote growth.

It made me think of something I'd like to try to make for the Radio on the Xterra since it's a touch screen. I'll see if I can't make something and see how it works out. Then if it does work get Alex to sweeten it up with some JPM goodness.

 

Mockup

here is the unit mounted



put together a mockup (paper/duct tape :wiggle to give a more detailed example of what im looking for and ill confirm material after i get sample thread

TIA

 

Holy shit...you already made him a template. Awesome!

 

Yea I was going to give the real thing a try but come to find out the wife cant sew either

 

Now that right there is funny!


So did you ditch the hazard button in order to use the mount?

 

Yes,going to relocate next to ebrake with smaller button

 

its still plugged in just tucked behind vents for now
