Default Hard Plastic Center Console Holder Fix

My Iphone was getting super scratched and it was rattling around in the hard plastic holder below.



I bought some of this OEM like felt and lined it! Now all is well. It really looks like it came from the factory with this stuff applied.

They seem to sell this by the foot (length), but without knowing the width, it's impossible to know how much to order. How wide are the sheets?

How can you guys live with that hard plastic? Change rattles and your cell gets all scratched up. No comments?

I don't put my iPhone there, only water bottles and the like. So it's not a problem for me. Have you thought about using the little insert inside the middle console?

flnsx, I don't have that space. Remote touch takes it up.

I noticed the bottle holder to the right is an insert can be removed to free up space. But I know someone here had their phone swallowed up because there is an area on the side big enough for things to fall into the console

I don't want to nit-pick but it is not OEM as you stated above

I meant it is OEM like. It looks just like OEM felt. It's not cheap crap. That's what I'm saying.
