Cell holders

So let's see what everyone uses. Been looking at the wireless charging ones, but hate things that attach to your vents - always afraid it will break them. Hate to take up a cup holder too and HATE it in the console as then I get out and forget it.

I had one that popped into my CD slot in my old SUV that didn't work bad and could be tossed into the console when not in use, but like something I could leave for a change.

Anyone got one they love?

If you don't mind spending a little more money go with Pro Clip. The quality and design is great and very durable.

Hey I like that bracket - I guess it just pops in between the dash and trim? I have the nappa leather - I wonder if it would rub. I'll have to check that out, I like how you can slide it around to where you like it.

Thanks!

I like that - looks like it fits tight to the dash too. No damage to the dash expected form any fit? I don't think my leather dash would keep it from working looking at that pic. Wish it had wireless charging too, but we can't have it all I guess..........

I use a Belkin vent mount got from the Apple Store. But I usually don’t take my phone out when I’m in my car.

Just bought the wife the holder made by weathertech ... I must say it works very well for a cup-holder mount.

I just bought this QI wireless charger on eBay for $16 from China. It takes up 1 cup in the holder but it's out of the way with no wires. It works well. It emits a faint blue light which you may not prefer, but it jives with the ambient lighting.

I've never seen one of those. I like that, but I hate phone cases. I like how that attaches though.

How do you have those plugged in? I like the placement of those.
