Phone "holder" for the main panel on XPower?

[taltulon]

Hi,
Got my Xpower a week ago and can't really use the main panel for phone charging as it flies away pretty quickly when i push the "gas" pedal (you know the "xpower world problems"... ).
Does anyone have the same "issue" and was looking for some hack so that phone will stay on the charging panel?
Thanks

Yes, not a typical Xpower problem, I've got the same problem with my MG4 SR.
There are some 3D models available to 3D print at Thingiverse to keep it from launching to the back seat:

Have you tried your local high school?
They often have 3d printers, and kids who know how to run them.
Alternatively, ask at the library if they know of a "maker space" nearby.

(A maker space is basically a communal workshop which contains "non-household" tools like 3d printers, laser cutters & more traditional machine tools. Membership may be required)

Just copy and paste the description into search or search for the supplier, both work.

I just use a bit of black sticky foam tape across the front edge. Stops it moving a treat. Not noticeable either.

Something like this, just have to choose the type of phone holder or use one you already have, like I did. Even come with a handy little tray at the back ??

Hi, I created this small an very discrete 3D model to hold mine, it holds it very well even with very dynamic driving, but I only have a SE version not an Xpower
Also to be mentionned that I have a silicone bumper on the phone it helps probably:
