I searched in vain for a hard case that I could put on my dashboard. This one is part of my integrated card reader in my dashboard, so I have not removed every time the mobile phone from his pocket. The flap that slips easily into the card reader above my GPS (vw tiguan). Since the valve is flexible, it is enough to raise the shell to insert the CD / DVD with no haggling. The hull is solid steel, the iPhone 5 holds very well in it. The only small problem is that it hangs a can in the hair if you wear them long and we are not careful, lol. If this product is great. No downside to formulate. I recommend it without a doubt, it is less than 2 euros on the German site. ;-)
