Abstract
A device holder assembly for use in a vehicle includes a compartment having a top side opening, a device holder attached to the compartment for holding a mobile electronics device, and a closure attached to the compartment. The holder is movable with respect to the compartment between a storage position in which the holder is stored within the compartment and a use position in which the holder extends out from the compartment. The closure is movable relative to the top side of the compartment along lateral sides of the compartment between an opened position in which the closure opens the compartment, an intermediate closed position in which the closure substantially closes the compartment while the holder is in its use position extending out from the compartment, and a fully closed position in which the closure fully closes the compartment while the holder is in its storage position within the compartment.
