Dashboard Cell Phone Holder/Mount

[alchemistmax]

I often use Waze for traffic navigation on my cell phone, and I didn't like having to look down into the center console all the time in my Model S.

So I just bought this really handy cell phone holder/mount on Amazon:
Amazon.com: iOttie One-Touch Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS Samsung Galaxy S4 S3 S2 Epic Touch 4G HTC OneX EVO 4G Rhyme DROID RAZR BIONIC INCREDIBLE 2 CHARGE Google Nexus BlackBerry Torch LG Revolution GPS Compact Size 360 degree Rotatable: Cell Phones Accessories

I attached it to my dashboard exactly to the right of the steering wheel and to the left of the center display. It uses a suction cup and is supposed to come off clean. If someone wants to see a photo of my mount, let me know, but it was a pretty simple solution for under $20.

Interesting. Might not work for those with matte wood?

Missing something, I am.

Why not put it on the windshield, as designed?

Looks more easily assessable where it is.

The windshield is at a weird angle and would result in an uncomfortable stretch just to interact with the phone. I have the exact same phone holder and it works great. Here's a picture of my setup:

Yea I don't think that would work with our matte Obeche. Looks good for this with Piano black tho -- and maybe CF if that's smooth.

I like the way it allows the vent to breathe.
Here is a new one that I like a lot.
Easy to mount, easy to attach your mobile device.
2 sizes for phone and tablet.
Looks good when device is not attached.

Does that radar detector work in that spot? My understanding was that it wouldn't?

Looks good. I'm using an imagnet which I placed on the windshield.

This looked cute. Looks like it's easily removable if I don't need it. But then I looked online and saw that it was $50? Ehhh... for that piece of plastic?
