Is R56 glovebox organizer worth it? Where to buy?

I want to get this glovebox organizer for my fiance's mini. Is it worth it and where is the best place to buy it? Thanks

I bought one, it wouldn't stay in place ... I exchanged it for another but that was no good either. Then I got rid of the whole R56!

The R56 glovebox simply isn't very compatible with an organizer, since it's really only a "bottom" with no sides, or top. Nothing to latch in to.

After hearing bad things here on NAM about OEM version, I got mine from gominigo.com Fits well and pretty much stays in place. Would work better if there was more room for the manual pouch under it or if the manual was thiner. I'm happy with it.

Another thumbs up for the gominigo organizer as well.

Not sure why people are having a problem getting the manual pouch to fit underneath. Mine fits fine and I have all the included docs (including the navi manual) in mine.

I really like my gominigo one. My manual and folder of MINI crap fits under it and I have room for my Nuvi and box of cards on top. Get a NAM calendar and order one next month.

I had the OEM one in mine. It fit fine for me. I ended up taking it out just because I don't carry enough stuff in there to ever need it. It's collecting dust as we speak...

You could always sell it in the marketplace. *hint hint*

Bought the factory and picked it up at the dealer. Tried immediately. Couldn't make it fit right. Got the SA and she couldn't make it fit either. Returned it.

Bought the GoMiniGo.com version and am happy with it. Also got their third brakelight flasher, and no-holes front licence plate holder. Like them all.

Well, it sort of fits. It sits on top of it so hovers just a little. i bought mine the first week or so they came out so maybe they change it a little since?

The R56 I had also had the iPod manual and I think for some reason two copies of the service locations book. It didn't fit!

I didn't want the organizer, but used a zip/mesh bag from an overnite bag. I put all the small and ink items in the bag. I pulled the bag out to grab a pen and it was pretty convenient.
