Right, been rethinking this to make it more "universal"

Would there still be the same interest if, instead of smoothed fit console as mine looks at the moment, I was thinking of doing it "tape deck" style design. This would work on a rack and pinion type set up just like old school tapes, except you would be putting your tablet in the slot.

PRO'S

No need for buyer to 'adjust' things to suit
I wouldn't need to make them different depending on tablet
Allows user to remove tablet at will from car to use at home etc
Great anti-theft setup
Access to all buttons on tablet instead of buttons added to console
Any 7" (or less) tablet could be used

CON'S

Wouldn't look as smooth/built in


All I would need from the buyer is the exact dimensions of the "window" for the tablet to be viewed.

I could go in to tiny build details but want opinions on this first. Basically, if I did it to my current setup, it would look more like the attached picture, ie. it will have a small gap around the screen
