So, meanwhile the new rubber inlay mat has arrived. And,,, it is same as old one
. So with the recessed part.. Although I searched for "d" variant, clicked on "d" variant, and ordered one with a photo of a "d" variant, an "f" variant arrived.. Turned out that in the description was mentioned that it is "f" variant, so again, always make sure you check everything from top to bottom (at least I give my self the advice). Luckily it was just a few euro, and it is shiny brand new.
But it gave the opportunity to experiment a little more with the airflow in the cubby, since I now do have a spare which is already a bit worn out.
I figured, cold air must be blown from air vent al over the back of the phone, but I also wanted to keep the design from the inlay in tact. So I did the following:
I cut out the center piece from the rubber inlay with the QI logo, and I made a new cardboard inlay. This time I only cut out a hole from the air vent to the QI cut-out and put the rubber piece inside.
I did cut roughly 1,5mm of of the right side from the rubber center piece to create a little gap on that side where air may flow through when stacking everything up.Like below
And from the top
Although a bit roughly cut, I'm quite happy with the looks.
I will test it for a while, and when satisfied, I will ask my Mothers friend to copy this concept with the new inlay, since I'm not to good with crafting this kind of stuff, and he is a professional upholsterer. Maybe some tweaks here and there, and use some different material than cardboard, glue it together and maybe seal the edges.
Whish you all a great day!
