Where do you put your phone?!?!?

I have been trying to find a good spot to put my phone, but the cupholders are too small, I tried up by the RPD but it flys all over the place.

Anyone using an aftermarket phone mount, or have somewhere in the car that works?

I have a note 4, so a big phone. I tried there but everytime I shift it would knock it over.

My phone has wires... It stays in the house, tethered to the wall where it belongs.

(Disclaimer: I use my phone for my car stereo and speedometer, I do not do text and it handles my calls through the stereo hands free)

I have one of these in the air vent next to the steering wheel. Vent turned upside down for stability.
I have been using magnets for years, but when I got my Nexus 6 (nearly the heaviest phone out there) it kept slipping off the old one. This one has more magnets than any I have seen and it holds ROCK SOLID.

Since my Mustang's vents are not as sturdy as the HHR's, I went with the CD Slot version (which also works quite well in the HHR, but sticks out more than I like) here:

After three months using these magnetic mounts, I have ZERO complaints.

With a 5 speed I dont either, but I would like to be able to see my navigation.

Interesting, I havent seen the vent one before. I might give that a shot!

It works a treat, even with my heavy Nexus 6. Of course it has 6 magnets instead of 4 so it is better than the old style ones.

I have read that people use the CD slot one with 7-inch tablets. I am going to have to try that in the Mustang so I can display Torque Pro nice and big.

I have a note 5, and I keep mine on the front winshield with a Rammount suction cup and a finger grip. Been working great for over 2 years now. Plus its very easy to transfer to a rental car when I travel for work.

kind of pricey but it will be the last cell phone mount you buy.
