DIY - IPAD2 Dash Mount without center speaker

This will be a DIY for mounting an ipad2 to your dash with out drilling or any modifications. I found a way to secure the ipad with the help of some other threads on this site. I want to do the DIY right and i will be updating it and adding photos over the next 2 days. I will start with the finished look of the mount.

This Mount uses the following materials
- 2 Large suction cups supporting 7 pounds each
- 3m Velcro
- gorilla super glue
- razor
- ipad2 shell case that supports smart cover
- iphone vent mount

I have been testing this mount for the last 2 days before i decided to post this DIY, The ipad hasn't moved and seems very sturdy over bumps and sharp turns and heat in the vehicle. Just wait for the full write up.

Update-

Start by cutting the suction cups hook off with the razor to make a flat surface

apply gorilla glue to the suction cup and then apply one side of the 3m velcro let dry for up to 4 hours to get a secure bond
