Wallmounted tablets

Hi,
I have been looking for the perfect wallmount for tablets for a long time, but it's really hard to find something that looks good and doesnt cost $400
So I'm looking for something thats "in-wall" mounted, where you can hide all cables and make a permanent thing out of it.
Have any of you come across these mounts at a affordable price?

Cost should be 5-10 euros, depending on how fancy you want to take this. For most of us braking up walls is not a real option... When building or renovating, this is THE option to consider.
I was thinking something like these:

Now I just need to find something for Lenovo 7" tablets as well!
Ik heb het als volgt opgelost. (even in het Nederlands)
Ik heb een pvc-plaatje genomen ter grootte van de thermostaat en het tablet. Op dit pvc- plaatje heb ik de thermostaat gemonteerd. Het pvc- plaatje aan de muur vast gemaakt op de gaten waarmee de thermostaat aan de muur zat. Dus geen extra gaten in de muur.
De voeding van het tablet zit bij de verwarmingsketel. De kabel verlengt met gewone stroomkabel en deze door de elektriciteitsbuis van de thermostaat naar de woonkamer gebracht. Aan deze stroomkabel heb ik de usb-stekker weer gesoldeerd.
Met wat reepjes pvc heb ik een schuifsysteem gemaakt zodat ik het tablet makkelijk uit de houder kan schuiven. Het schuifsysteem zit met dubbelzijdige tape aan het tablet.
Kost wel wat huisvlijt, maar kost een paar euro en functioneert prima.
Tablet is een Archos oxygen 80.
Nu nog een haakse USB stekker

Just wondering about those pictures in this topic. Looks really great!.
It's the Beta version I assume, because the stable version from the app store, doesn't look so good?
I managed finally, reading the instructions about that 'bearer token', to install the stable version on my tablet, but see no nice Icons or possibillity to scale or edit the butttons. So I can only switch some Hue lights, see my Nest Thermostat temperature and that's it.
Sadly, I have no progamming skills at all, so I'am not sure if it's safe for me to install the Beta version, to get more options. I don't want to mess up things here. Should I, as a average user, better wait for a new stable version?
Maybe something for homey itself to take over and give us a nicer interface for the wal mounted tablets.
Would like my tablet to look like that from julian as well
It might feel like development on homeydash stalled a bit, but on the background i am reworking the whole thing. (for reference, the current version is something that i have been working for 10 months on.)
Future released make it easier for the community to create widgets for it (or plugins).
Have to say that the current beta isn't having allot of issues. You can install it trough the appstore and make it look like above pictures.
Now back on topic, where can we find some good wallmounts?
Still itching to buy a sDock for an ipad, but like the prices of the amazon tablets as well (could place them all around the house)
But back to topic I just bought a konig holder for only 14 euro's which is pretty flat on the wall and accepts up to 10 inch tablets.

just an idea?
I just use this.
Okay, you don't built it in a wall, but you can easy hang your tablet or phone on a wall.
I have done this, and you easily pickup the tablet when I would use it on the caugh.
You just need to drill 1 little 5/6mm hole.
And I have built in usb Power sockets.
but it is an nice solution
