Default Coin holder for 3IS

Just figured I'd share my coin holder solution in case anyone else is looking for something other than going the console organizer route. This holder costs around $5 on amazon. I used a small square of 3M 2 sided tape on the back of the holder to keep it in place. Surprisingly, it stuck to the fabric liner of the console just fine.

I've heard complaints about the organizer. Namely that the coin slot doesn't hold coins all that well. That's why I just went with an actual coin holder instead. To each their own.

Well to be fair, I was looking more for an organizer because I have 4 charging connectors in the arm rest and 4 cables running from it to a cam, radar and two phones, having this covers the entire lower bin and gives me storage for the upper half and covers the rats nest of wires.

So two different objectives...

That makes sense. I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum with almost no clutter in my console so I don't need an organizer. For those trying to hide stuff on the bottom of their console or gain 2 separate levels of organization in their console, that thing is great,

Yup, still lots of room underneath. Can keep the important/frequently-used stuff on top and throw the rest below, instead of it being one big deep bin.

Nice, thanks. It's crazy how our cars don't have a decent coin holder or whatnot. I'll get it from eBay.

This looks like the change would bounce around and annoy the hell out of me.

Probably because no one uses coins except 90 year old ladies.

Get a debit/credit card.

Really? I don't know anyone that doesn't carry change for small purchases like coffee etc...
