Show me your in car phone holders?
Discussion
Afternoon all.
I've discovered an app called Waze, which has saved me from traffic a could of times.
One thing I hate however is having the phone holder on the windscreen.
I've considered getting a vent mount but in my experience they are all made from cheese and usually break when installing them (ham fists)
So, show me some good examples of phone holders that you've properly installed (or recommend me a vent mount, that would be easier
)
Wasn't sure if this was going to be a GG or a Readers' Cars thread so hopefully I'll get some responses in here...
thanks
Dan

Brodit are great if they do one that sits in the right place in your car. Dashmount do some nice brackets too (eg. for VAG that use the stereo mounting bolts) and will work with Brodit device holders.
Kenu Airframe for vent mounting is superb, very small and discreet and holds nicely. And that's from someone who's had Brodit in my last 3 cars.

That's the thing with Brodit, their idea of where the phone should go isn't the same as mine.Kenu Airframe for vent mounting is superb, very small and discreet and holds nicely. And that's from someone who's had Brodit in my last 3 cars.
I'll look into the air frame
I asked a similar question recently, and am now the proud owner of an OSO 360 Grip.

Get the Airframe it's a fantastic bit of kit. Small footprint and easy to push on/pull off, grips a smartphone well (in or out of any case) and i's well made!I'll look into the air frame
I works well on the central vent just to the left of the wheel.
Pickup the Torque Pro app on your phone for estimated 0-60 and other MPG etc.

Currently holding a boost controller display, but can be turned around 90 degrees to hold my phone if i don't want it in my pocket during longer journeys.
Is that switch for an ejector seat, front mounted machine guns or an oil spill from the rear? ps - I have a Brodit and am very happy with it.

Thanks all.
I've spent years looking for t h e perfect holder. Things clipping to other things, or falling off cold windscreen. I now have THE perfect solution. Cost 50p puts the phone exactly where I need it and has never failed. Velcro is the future. One piece on the back of my phone,one on the dash...

I use a magnet too. It's about the size on a 2p piece, and a little metal plate sits under the back of the phone case out of site.Works so well I bought more to play around with.
Easy, quick, tidy, discreet, just what I wanted.
I just got one of these. http://www.quadlockcase.com/
I have used brodit before but this is by far the best solution I have found.
The car mount can be secured on the wind screen or other flat surfaces in the car, or if you feel its too big you can use one of the adhesive mounts instead.
The mount is rock solid. It doesn't vibrate and doesn't even flex when you push the home button.
You can lock it place and remove it with one hand.
I found it when looking for a bike mount.
