What I do is place the seat belt strap below my are put so it goes lower over my chest and not at device level.
I found this really kept the irritation from happening. So much now a habit and don't even think about it.
I see others finding devices to use to help keep the pressure and irritation down and that is good advice. I just like not having the seat belt strap anywhere over my device and not any downward pressure on it.
I was told when I got my first device (I am on #3) to not have any downward pressure on the area.
I am not sure how much the lowering of my seat belt has on safety and how much it would affect belt controlling my body if there was an accident but is probably a half foot below my device rather than right on top of it.

Hi jc76, when searching for a solution to my seat belt dilemma I watched a video on YouTube. In it the guy showed placing the seat belt under the arm. He went on to say that the upper portion of the seat belt (known as the 3 part restraint) keeps you from hitting your head on the dash or steering column in the event of an accident. So in effect the seat belt becomes only a 2 part restraining system just like in the old days when cars came with lap belt seat belts. He also said that wearing a seat belt below the arm is actually illegal in some states. I found this on the web:
Legal Consequences:
Many states have laws requiring seatbelts to be worn properly. While specific wording may vary, wearing the shoulder belt under the arm is generally considered an improper use of the seatbelt and can result in a ticket or fine.
The Soft Touch pad is designed so that it creates a space above the PM so no pressure is applied. Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
All the best
Ted
