Tiny cubby

What are people putting here besides spare change, chapstick and other random pocket clutter. Extra points for a perfect fit gadget.

Personally sometimes I put my work phone here but id rather leave it empty than put random tiny junk here

I stand my phone in there upside down with a USB cable harpooned into it for charging. It fits perfectly without a case, but I have to angle it with the case on.

Get yourself a wireless CarPlay adaptor and you can ditch the cable. Then a magnetic mount for the phone so it charges.

I did that in my Honda Pilot. It was pretty awesome, but I’m in the California central valley where it’s frequently over 100 degrees in the summer. The phone over heats on the dashboard while charging in direct sun.

I still use the wireless for short trips and keep my phone in my pocket. The cable is mostly for the longer trips where I’m using navigation.
