Default Car Seat Organizer

Hey guys, wanted to get some opinions out here. Never seem to have enough room for my phone anywhere . was wondering if any one has tried these cubies for storing. Saw it on ebay, but afraid it will destroy the look of the interior. I have a white is300 w rioja red interior. but id prob consider the black organizer thing since they only have red which wont match rioja red.

Have you tried putting your phone in the door pull on the driver's side door? It's kinda hard to miss on your way out of the car. Only problem is it might rattle if you have a smaller phone.

My Samsung S8 fits in my pocket comfortably even while I am sitting down, so personally I see no reason for phone storage. If I did, I'd probably chuck it into the center console, or just stick it in a cupholder - yes, it fits...

haha wont fit in the cup holder unfortunately. But I gotta give that door storage a shot. I had a microfiber cloth in there but might make room for cell phone instead and see if it doesn't rattle too much!

I have seen this type of design in Pacific Mall (not sure if its the exact same). The cup holders are small and shallow, I will not trust it with my Tim Hortons coffee cup.
Having that said, I have ordered a different one that has only 2 cupholders. It is black with red leather stitching as well and should be arriving any time now. I will post and let you know how it looks. For me, I just want to have my coffee without reaching back to get it from the existing cup holder holes. It is so backward. It will cut some passenger room but should be ok.

I ordered a center console tray that is designed for our car. If my phone isn't in my pocket, it's in the tray in the center console. I have a large screen phone and it fits no problem! Love this little thing.

Sure!

I got mine off ebay, but there other places sell it also.
  1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Lexus-I...72.m2749.l2649
  2. Amazon Amazon
  3. Amazon Amazon


When I was looking to purchase one, I was considering three things: Cost, Speed of delivery, and wether it had the Lexus IS logo or was blank.
I wanted the Lexus IS logo on mine.
Ebay has both options, cheaper price, but shipping is slow
Amazon has both options, shipping is fast but more expensive for the one with the logo.

I decided price and logo were priority over speed, So I went the Ebay w/ Logo route for like $14, shipping took about three weeks.
If for some weird reason my tray disappeared today, I'd prolly just pay the extra to Amazon to get one in quicker now that I know how much I love and use it. Honestly the car should have came with this.

Thanks...I found a few on Amazon, but was having trouble finding one(s) with the Lexus logo.

I think that thing pictured in OP would in your way. Looks like you'd be sharing a seat with it in the 3IS.

I have my phone mounted from the windshield just above the far left vent. Have not seen anything else I'd prefer, it's perfect right there. It's a magnet mount. Phone rests on the dash, and against the a pillar slightly preventing it from bouncing at all too.

I have that center console insert too, nice to have.
although mine is way over due for being cleaned out...way too much crap in there.

I have one of these also. So worth the money. I love it. It's also a great place for my sunglasses since Lexus didn't think any of us wear sunglasses.

I have one and had one in my MB CLA. Some people got a sunglasses holder where the front cabin overhead lights are. Totally random. I put my sunglasses in the console in the tray or in a cup holder. Similar story to the IS 200 currently.
