To screw, or not to screw? That is the question
First, let me preface this by saying I get it. This may not be the must have option or add-on you’re all salivating over, nor will it add any real value aside from, in my own personal opinion, looking cool.
Now that that’s out of the way…. I want to mount my HUGE 12.9” iPad Pro over my existing 8” display. I’ve created a mount using a low profile case, some crazy strong magnets, and a black washer the size of the magnet.
Two Issues I’m running into:
1. Surface area on the only place to realistically mount the washer is so small the 3M double sided automotive adhesive tape will not reliably hold the washer in place when trying to remove my magnetized mount.
2. I could just toss in a single flush topped screw to secure my washer flawlessly, but I cannot justify this mod if it permanently alters the dash by adding an unsightly hole dead center!
I’m looking to gather the creative minds here to see if someone could help imagine a solution before I do!? How can I either create more surface area for my washer to adhere to successfully, or what other suggestions would you throw out to secure it without adding a hole.
***In the picture of the case it shows two magnets within the red rectangle, this was taken before I scrapped the second magnet for a black washer.***
