Maybe I'm missing the point, but I just don't understand the phone mount issues. I do not like that there really isn't a good place for a phone mount... The one I've seen that I like the best is one of those weather tech cup holder mounts.. but to use it you have to give up one of your cup holders, and there's only 2 in the front seat to start with. I just synced my phone up with blue tooth and stick the phone in the center console or in one of the cup holders... As you know you can take and make calls just using the hands free system on the steering wheel..
I suspect that most of the people who are looking for a way to mount their phones on the car's dash are people who have an ES without the navigation system and who are looking for a way to place their phones in a spot where they can view maps on their phones.
To me, there is no such solution that doesn't come across as looking tacky, and, regardless of where the phone is mounted, I consider using the phone to view maps to be less than satisfactory and something that compromises safety.

Good point Lesz.... don't know why, but it never dawned on me that some may not have nav. and I agree, I'm not a fan of using my phone to navigate, especially in strange towns.. my ever ageing eye's need larger screens than the phone provides.. My ES obviously has Nav, but my 4 Runner does not. I run a Garmin Nuvi gps in that vehicle. Lifetime maps and gets me there and back without any trouble.
Bought the weather tech phone holder for my ES and wife’s RX. Great device and adaptable to any size cup holder. Does everything just like the commercial says. Highly recommend.
I would love recommendations for a phone mount for my iPhone 8+ (big phone).
I'm not crazy about the ones that attach to the front vents because the phone is heavier than most, especially with the case.
What do you all use?
Thanks
I'm right there with you... but after quite a bit of searching, I decided on the weather tech phone holder... around 40 bucks or so for the base model... you can get it with an extension and a few other things for a few more dollars, but I'm going to try just the base... I went with this because my grand kids wanted to know what to get me for Christmas so I suggested this... ha, grand kids are great, we were at their house last weekend and my 6 year old grand son took a present from under the tree and said Poppa, this is my present to you.. can't tell you what it is but it's for your phone in your car... haha... guess they listened to me after all.

I'd recommend getting a CD slot mount. It puts the phone in a great spot. It does block the center climate controls a little but I don't use those that often.
Hello Gents... I didn't mean to open a new thread on this subject because I know it was discussed in the past.. but for some reason I couldn't find that thread. Anyway as much as I love my 2013 ES, the one thing I have always disliked about it was the lack of room to put anything, like keys, sunglasses or my phone.... My grand kids asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told them I would like to try the new weather tech phone cup. Boys ( and girls ) I have to tell you that "so far", this has been the best option that I've tried. It fits nice and snug, no wobbles or rattles and the phone is very secure... Yes it does take up one of the 2 cup holders but normally it's just me in this car... and even when my wife's with me, she doesn't usually carry a bottle of water or anything with her, so again no problem... I know there will be a time or two where we'll need both cup holders and on those occasions I'll just slide the phone holder out.. Just in case anyone was thinking about one, I personally have found this to be the best thing I've tried so far.
I have a 2015 ES, just wondering if someone on here has found the perfect holder for their phone and has a recommendation.
Thank you-
Weather Tech phone holder, fits in a cup holder and the phone holder's base can be adjusted to fit just about any size cup holder, and the part that holds the phone can be adjusted to accommodate just about any phone. Of course the only downfall to this is you have to give up one of your cup holders. Scroll up a couple of posts and you'll see 2 pics I previously posted showing the weather tech phone holder in my car. If you don't want to use a cup holder you can also run your phone thru blue tooth and just stick you phone in the center console or glove box. You and take and place calls that way just by pressing the call switch on your steering wheel.
