Smart phone holder + mount recommendations?

Have you tried standing it up in the slot on the dash just above the steering wheel? Just throw on some Velcro and it won't fall. Soft part of the velcro on the back of the phone and the more course stuff in the slot on the dash.

Not sure how tall the phone is so unless it's impeding your vision, that may be an option for a lot less money?

 

Ha, I still run an older smart phone so it's on the smaller side .

Well, when I used to run a radar detector in my car I would mount it in the far left corner of the windshield. It didn't block my site and is still legal. I believe anything mounted in the center dash or windshield is considered a violation of CA law, but I haven't looked it up lately. Not like they bust anyone for it anyways though. The only pain was having to tuck the wire behind the dash, but I would assume you won't be charging it from the mount much.

 

PS -- You'd be surprised how strong velcro is. I work with engineers so between duct tape and Velcro, all of life's toughest problems are solved.

 

i highly recommend this one

Personally I don't like vent mount phone holders, because they block some of the air flow. I just bought my Pc2 yesterday and found the my Ram phone holder mounts perfectly to the little triangular window and it puts the phone within easy reach and is out of the way. Yes, it moves out with the door when the door opens but when I leave the car, so does my phone - not a big deal.

 

I wound up getting this one... The iOttie.

 

These give me good ideas.

 

I went with the pro clip, but I have an iphone5. Puts the phone in perfect reach, not cheap though.

 

I bought this which has 3 options included (under $20) and I just use the vent mount one:


Amazon.com: iKross 3 in 1 Universal Compact Windshield / Dashboard / Air Vent Car Mount Holder for Cell Phone / MP3 Player / Smartphone: Cell Phones & Accessories

Some in this thread have said they don't like blocking any part of the vent, but I find this puts my phone (which is also my nav) in the perfect spot and does not run afoul of CA laws about devices blocking part of the driver's view. The vent mount is also very solid, and does not seem to be putting stress on the vent itself, but that depends on how you install it.

 

I use this and love it nGroove Snap Multi-Use Car Mount for Smartphones and Mini Tablets

Nexus 5 ?

 

Yeah in looking at my posted photo I went out and purchased a black cable lol

 

Reviving a bit of an old post: Delta Flyer II (or anyone else with the iOttie mount), any tips for getting the mount to stay in place underneath the center console? I haven't been having much luck getting it to stay attached for more than a few seconds.

 

If anyone wants a proclip + iphone 5 mount, I have a like new one for sale.

 

Hi guys, I know I am reviving an old post but I found this on mount on amazon looks rather useful.

 

How is this working out for you? Do you have to put a magnet on your phone to get it to work?
The website didn't make it very clear.

 

Hello all, new here, but I thought i'd share what i'm using. I have one of these magnetic car mount stuck next to the mirror adjustment buttons.



Edit: I got mine from eBay for around $8. Unable to post link yet, sorry guys.

 

I like to keep it simple. I put a silicone gel case on my phone and then put the whole thing over the MFD screen for the times that I need sat/nav. The gel case grips onto the screen and will not fall off.
