This is what I'm using on the USB A port on my 12 volt power port in my camper. It's a cord and mount all in on. I don't have a picture of it installed, but it works perfect. They are on Amazon
Well done and thank you Gary - this is genius!
Small magnetic mount from Amazon… absolute doddle to set up (once you realise you need to turn off demo mode! !!)
ChargeScreen fitted with the 3D Printed Case and Rear Power Cable. 12V DC was picked up from behind the USB socket with “T Tap Wire Connectors“ making the whole thing quick, neat and easy to install . . . the 3D printed cases are now available from https://chargescreen.myshopify.com/ when you order your ChargeScreen and Rear Power Cable.

It doesn’t come with a case - that 3D printed one looks a neat solution if using the rear power cable option
No case needed if using usb-c as can put a magnet on the back
You can, of course just stick the ChargeScreen to a panel, but then you have to find a way to attach it and work out how/where to drill a hole that lines up with the power connector.
Using the 3D Printed Mount addresses all those challenges and provides:
Countersunk holes to screw to a panel
A recessed channel into which to route the power wires
Easy access with the supplied PowerKey to switch on ChargeScreen
Ability to easily remove/replace the ChargeScreen if necessary (friction fit into the mount)
Ultimately, it depends on how permanent, neat and tidy you want your ChargeScreen installation to be when opting for the 12V DC powered solution (rather than USB powered) with no visible cable.

Not sure how well sticky tape will work when trying to hardwire and flush mount . Why be picky. It looks a great tidy solution if wanting a clean finish.
I wasn't trying to make one I just heard him say it didn't come with a case and it does that's all I questioned. I guess he should have said it doesn't come with a case that allows you to surface mount it with screws. It's all good. VHB tape holds a lot of parts on the car right out of the factory such as body molding, rain guards car automotive windows, car emblems and the list goes on. I don't see car emblems falling off as cars go down the road and that's outdoors. It surely can handle this device. I personally would glue a magnet to the back and glue a magnet to the surface. It's all good
