Default Tablet Mounting Idea

I have read through nearly all the tablet/Ipad threads on here and have yet to find anything like what Im wanting. Im looking for ideas on where I can mount a 7" tablet in my truck to run my torque. I don't want it to run my stereo just mostly torque. I would like it to be fairly easily removable but stable when driving. Don't like the window, vent ,or behind the radio bezel mounts. I have an 07 King Ranch SCrew with a pass through console. Any ideas? Shoot them my way!

So where, ideally, would you want it, if you don't like those options?

I don't know, I'm having trouble finding an option which is why I posed this question to the great knowledge base on here. If I, knew, where, I'd like it, then why, would I ask this, question?

My only concern would be the tablet getting too hot right there. Unless you're in an area with mild summers, then it might not matter.

No hotter than if it were in the dash where the radio is. I'm more worried about the shift handle being in my way.

I want to get a ram mount for mine. They can bolt up to the passenger seat rail and are on a long flexible support and you can position it wherever you want.

Ive looked at those too. I don't think I like the idea of the long flexible arm snaking up from under the seat lol. They are still on my list of possibilities though.
