I got an email back this afternoon:
"Tom,

I checked with our stand guys. I was told that the width of the cup would not accommodate 2 of those devices. "

The Reo Grand is only 1.5mm wider and 1mm thicker. I bet it would work.

Interesting. It doesn't seem like the dimensions are that much wider to me, but then I'm not the one making them so what do I know lol.

I always have used a bean bag universal gps mount base with a hockey puck with 15/16" holes drilled it velcro'ed to it. Worked great for my Provari's. My cup holders are reserved for keys, badges, and drinks. The problem is cutting a rectangular hole in a hockey puck is beyond my scope at this point. The J-Wraps cup holder would be perfect velcro'ed to the aforementioned mount. While J-Wraps has other options that will accept one Reo on long trips I like the option of double fisting Reos.

Quick question... if you are on a long road trip (assuming that you are the one doing the driving), with what hand will you be holding the steering wheel if you are double fisting REOs?

I just use the cup holder. The Reo is tough enough to handle the little banging back and forth inside of plastic. And I can put the phone in there too. I think the one Mama has is great for the house.

Currently what I'm doing. It works, and both the REO and the iPhone in it's OtterBox are both tough enough for the banging around. Having said that, there must be a better way, so why not got for something that does keep them from rattling around?

If you have to ask.... If you see this coming at you with plumes of very thick vapor coming out of the window get off the sidewalk.

Ah, good tastes! I used to have a '03 Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4, spray in bedliner, low pro toolbox, Viper remote start. Loved that truck! Sold it here in Europe for a profit... since I wouldn't get paid squat for it in the states.

So, you'll be swerving all over the road, in that truck. Check, I'll watch out LOL.

Bought some pieces of acrylic at a local shop for $7. Made this in an hour. Fits in the cupholder in my Toyota.
