Default Captain Itch needs your opinion ...

I would like to know if you think that there may be a need for this item. I looked around for something simple to hold my phone and glasses. Found some trays and lid organizers, but not really anything that had a small flat profile and would not interfere with the liners. It attaches with sticky back velcro and then 2 stainless snaps as well, so it is very secure and you do not drill any holes or anything. The panel that I have in the pictures measures about 6 3/4" wide and 8" long. Made it to fit my phone and glasses I would imagine you could put a pocket to hold documents,insurance papers, or what ever. May also be constructed to hold a holster securely .. So how about some comments ..

Looks very nice. Your stuff is always well made, so I am sure this is, too.
Personally, I would love to have something nice like this to hold small items or papers in the saddlebag. I always keep my phone in a jacket or vest pocket, but carrying other things here would be great.
I have not had good luck with sticky velcro where temperature change occurs, like on cars. Maybe the stuff you are using is new and better?

I have a Samsung note And it's a problem. It doesn't fit in any of my tri windshield pockets.
I have to toss it in my saddle bags and hope it lays around on something soft but worry about it jiggling down and getting bounced around in there.

I do have liners so I'm not sure what would stick to them. I'd buy a phone pouch. No need for glass pouch for me. I'd find something to use that other pocket for.

Something like that would be nice for tour pak as well. Can't tell you how many times the wife has had her sunglasses or night time glasses just floating around in the tour pak. I like the holster idea as well.

I would be interested in a holster similar to that, I put my phone in the windshield bag.

+1 on size got a iPhone 6+ with no liners so need to put into carry case holder

But if I could place it in a nice holder without the clip case would consider purchasing

No hole drilling is a big plus and if the Velcro has an industrial adhesive with a wide temperature range would make it a very interesting accessory to purchase

Would be more interested in holster. The others you have made for me work well.
As for Glass and phone I prefer to keep them upfront in reach.
You may look at an improved version of the Windshield pouch for the road glide new for the 2016. I know you could do better

You could make one that attaches to a hard door on the lowers

I have a cotton nail apron on the inside wall of my saddlebags. I got them free at the local lumber store and used a hole punch to put the security torx bolts thru them that hold the bags on. I keep plexis and a micro fiber in one pocket with my shades and my wallet and phone in the other.

Didn't cost a thing and if I want to load the bags full it lays flat and doesn't take up much room. I have some Capt Itch stuff and there's no way my setup is as nice as what he can make but it does get it done.
