Would you be willing to add it as an option?

I am hesitant to put it as a selectable option until I am pretty sure that it will fit the request and unfortunately I don't have something close to compare. However, I can do what I did for the green before I offered it. If you would like to try the silver/grey I can make you one up. If once you get it and if you say it matches, I will add it to the drop down for others. If you say it's close, but there's a little difference .. well, you will have a one of a kind. If you want to give this a shot, please email me at [email protected] and I can let you know how we can proceed

Some of you have already received your orders for the phone holsters and I appreciate the compliments on them. I really should put some mounting instructions with photo’s together and I will in the near future … it just keeps falling off my plate.

On the sides of the center console towards the front you will notice a round plastic disk cover. Use a small screwdriver or plastic wedge to pop this disc off. It comes off pretty easy. Using a 10mm ¼”drive socket, remove the bolt that is under the disc. (I would save the disc and bolt incase you ever want to remove the holster).
Insert the provided screw thru the hole in the screw cover and insert it into the hole in the holster from the front side. Slide the white nylon spacer onto the screw from the back side of the holster and insert the screw where you removed the bolt and lightly tighten. Once you have it in the position you want, tighten the screw and snap the tethered cover (which is part of the screw cover) over the screw.
Note: there is an opening in the back/lower portion of the holster in case you want to run a your charging cable into the holster. If you want to do this, I recommend running the cable into the holster prior to installing and tightening the mounting screw.

Hope this all makes sense. I will do a better job documenting the process soon.

Your written instructions on this are very clear.

Looking forward to having / using the holster. So is my gal pal .... aka: passenger.

Looking at your tracking, it is scheduled to be delivered today … so you should be good if you want to start your trip tomorrow instead

Many people have requested a passenger side version. I am happy to announce that these have just been added to my website www.gibsonleatherworks.com Just select "Shop" at the top of the page, select the JL Phone Holster and then you will see drop down options to select Driver or Passenger Side Mounts as well as thread color.
Thanks everyone for your interest.

You sir, are extremely talented! Beautiful work!

Well, my JL Phone Holsters (Center Console Mount) for the passenger side, arrived today.

Took about 5 mins to install. So very easy to install.....

With the holster installed, the passenger side seat can still be moved fully forward.

Well, I was impressed with the Fob Holster, I bought from Gibson Leatherworks a few months ago and I am equally impressed with the JL Phone Holster.

What a terrific offering! Mark is a craftsman to say the least. Thanks Mark!

Ditto as above. Purchased two key fobs and now purchased and installed the center console phone holster. Mark does great work. You will not be disappointed.

I got my silver threaded phone holster today and I have to say, thank you so much! The quality of materials and the craftsmanship is excellent. The silver thread may be a shade darker than the dash and seats threading from the factory, or it may just be less reflective. It is considerably thicker thread. To me, it is a great match. I am thoroughly pleased.

Here’s a few pictures of it next to the seats, steering wheel, and dash panel.
The install position is perfect, out of the way, but well within reach.

Love the silver! I'd order one for each side!

Well, @Blkjak ..

Left on my road trip. Knocked out 800 mi. today.
Thanks for getting me the Center Console Mount Holster (passenger) out to me, in time for this trip.
I know you went out of your way to get it to me in time.

Anyway, the Holster is a real nice addition! Well made, looks good, functional.... My gal pal has the holster to use. and she Love's it.

Her smart phone is right there in easy reach of her hand.

No more fumbling for her smartphone, that she usually had lying on the passenger side floor, on top of her handbag or in my friggin mug hole in the center console. Now, she just quick draws her smartphone from the holster.

These look awesome! Definitely thinking I want to pick one up. Anyone using this with an iPhone XR? I run a Unicorn Beetle case and can't find the dimensions anywhere. I'd hate to buy and find out it just won't fit. Thoughts?

Anyway, I cut out a circular piece of 15# hold, Industrial Strength, Black Velcro/ furry side. I cut it so it was a little bit bigger diameter wise then the plastic cap/cover, that Mark provides with the Holster to cover the mounting screw...

I placed the Velcro on the plastic cover and then pressed the Velcro down firmly so it attached to the top and sides of the mounting cover cap. It stuck on very well. It will not come off without a battle to remove it. No plastic on the cover is exposed, so no way the plastic can scratch a screen.

This Velcro blends in very well / looks good, and it will provide a later of protection... protection, just in case a smartphone screen would come in contact with that area/the plastic cover.

When you slide a smartphone in and out, it does seem to really clear that cap ... but... I would rather use the Velcro fur as protection just in case.. The Velcro takes up little space.

Pic is poor. If you look at the holster, you hardly see the furry Velcro. Pic exaggerates ..
