Default Cellphone Mounts?

I am interested to find out what your mounting solutions are. I have been putting mine on one of the cup holders but I'm wondering if there are any better alternatives out there.

i keep mine in my pocket. I can make and receive calls with no hands, I can stream podcasts or music or books from the phone through the car audio, and I don't ever forget to take it with me. Also, I can get twice as much coffee to go.

I have the iPhone 6+ so my phone does not fit in the cup holders. I have been looking into something like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/201387680253?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true) but have not pulled the trigger on one yet. For now I just keep it in my pocket or on the little slot on my driver side door, which seems to work fine. But I guess if you're looking for one to mount more so for GPS use and stuff, I would go with something that will hold in place via one of your vents. Something like this --> (http://www.target.com/p/phone-mount-...A&gclsrc=aw.ds)

That elastic pouch looks really handy to have in a car with no space for glasses. Also, when making phone calls, it will get your phone up to the window where reception will be better. I just ordered one, but I can see why Forcaport is waiting to "pull the trigger." Who has $3.00 to just throw around these days?

I'm assuming the RC F interior layout is similar. I also do this. But I don't need to use my phone while driving. If I happen to need to charge it, then I put it in the center console with the outlets. I have thought about getting a mount. But I doubt that I'll actually get one.

The little elastic pouch shown above looks like it will also fit nicely under the radio buttons and just in front of the little door where the NAV data card goes. If so, that would be a nice pocket for specs or phones. We shall see.

tischer, the only reason I'm waiting is because I want to put it on the side near my leg for easy access, but I am not to thrilled about sticking something on to the leather and possibly ruining it if I don't like it, so I am looking for an alternative for the time being.

I don't think anything down by the side of your leg is leather. Under your butt is where the leather is.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I though about the placement, hence my hesitance to buy it... wanting to put it right there on the red LEATHER for easy access to my phone and my charger reaches the spot perfectly without getting in the way of the touch pad or shift **** if I'm ever driving in M.

I believe mine is proclip. It's a lil pricey tho. You attach it close one of your ac vents instead of the cd slot.
