F31 air vent phone holder?
Discussion
I m looking for a holder for a small phone (iPhone 13 Mini) that fits reliably into the central air vents of an F31 2019 320 Touring (under the iDrive screen). That seems to be the best situation for my real-life use.
I’ve tried a couple of cheapo Amazon alternatives that work most of the time and grip the phone reliably, but fall out of the vents often enough to be irritating. They have a lip at the far end of the jaws that s supposed to hook behind the vent flaps, but doesn t reach quite far enough to lock on.
Any recommendations based on personal experience gratefully received.

I use a UGREEN Magsafe phone holder for my iPhone / wife's Google Pixel with zero issues in our F31: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Compatible-MagSafe...I ve tried a couple of cheapo Amazon alternatives that work most of the time and grip the phone reliably, but fall out of the vents often enough to be irritating.

I know it means needing a Magsafe case but that's easy enough to sort

You can just see it on the central vents here
