Default What Cell Phone Holder RU Using?

Looking for recommendations for a quality cell phone holder for my 2012 ES 350. I've got an iPhone 5 with a Mophie case. Not interested in a windshield mount or vent mount as these seem obtrusive and shake quite a bit. Any strong recommendations?

I just bought one of those non-slip pads for my dash for $3 since my car doesn't have nav. It holds the phone parallel with the front portion of my dash. Pretty impressive. Better than a windshield of vent holder too I think.

May be a Texas thang y'all, cause like Nick I keep mine in the cup holder too. I did put a little piece of neoprene in the bottom so it has a little cushion.

I have to admit that Proclips does have just about everything you can imagine. I have their Nuvi console mount and it's awesome.

You will be able to use any universal cell phone mount for your Lexus. I would advice you Bracketron mount: http://www.carid.com/bracketron/crad...pm-338-bl.html It mounts to a hard or textured surface, including your windshield.

Default Thanks for the Input!

Going with a Proclip base and then using a magnetic mount. Very secure and don't have to stick/screw anything directly to the dash.

It's easy for me to grab. Navigation is done through the main system, as are phone calls. If I'm texting, I simply grab it out and use it. Otherwise, there is no need for me to see the screen. Even if I need the phone for navigation, the voice commands work just as well.

I too have been using the cup holder for the first 7+ years of ownership but have recently changed to this;

Anker cup holder Anker cup holder
.

I am not the seller, just a satisfied customer. It sticks very well and adjusts to several viewing angles.

Default What Phone Mount do you use in your 5th Gen ES?

Looked for existing topics but didn't find anything.....

I'm looking around for phone mount options and trying to figure out what might work best. Given the layout of the interior, I've actually seen a couple of tape deck phone mounts on Ebay and Etsey that might make use of that waste of space but I could see it being too low. Also might be low quality and/or not fit.

I'm looking for the most appealing and functional phone mount option out there.

Does anybody have something that is working well for you?
