Default Mount for an iPhone

Anybody have a good suggestion for an iPhone 6s phone mount? There are a bunch of different types but I'd like to see what others are using.

Default Iphone Mount

I have this Anker:
Amazon Amazon
I have a 6+, but my wife's 5 fits nicely as well. What I like is the adjustability and quick-release. I made a special mount for it, but you could mount on Dash and Windshield. The suction cup is way sticky, but doesn't leave a mark.

I have it mounted far enough out that I can reach behind for any controls.The lighter socket is also accessible. I was mainly showing the actual Anker product in the way I mounted, but it is fully capable of mounting in many other ways.

Having it over the cup holders isn't really isn't practical or convenient when I'm charging it. Also, there are times I want to see who is calling and having it mounted I could see the screen without having to pick up the phone from inside the cup holders. Sounds kind a lame reason but I do like some conveniences.

I bought something called an iOttie that fits on the top of the dash. Works pretty well. It has some grip stuff that keeps it on the dash and it doesn't mar it.
