I had some bad luck with various mounts, but have been very happy with this one. Just another .02 cents. Me personally, I just can't get behind attaching a magnet to my smartphone on a regular basis.

Decided to return the previous CD slot phone mount I had. It became loose and flimsy after a couple weeks of use, and would rattle when driving on rough roads.
Now I use this one:
iOttie Easy One Touch Mini CD Slot Car Mount Holder Cradle for iPhone 7 7 Plus/ 6s Plus/6s/6, Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, EdgeS6/S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 5, Nexus 6, & Smartphones
At first, I thought it wouldn't work and had to return it since the GS CD slot has a tapered space on the top center portion. But I just flipped it, put the additional pads included (for smaller phones) on each CD Connector, and used the included bracket. This is better than the other one since it's easier to dock the phone since it has a one-touch lock and release. As I already mentioned, not a fan of having a strong magnet on/near my phone or weakening the air vents with a heavy phone.

Get a mount from VentMounts.com
I got a great mount from VentMounts.com and it is honestly on of the best investments I have made for my car! it sticks right into the A/C vent and holds your phone up magnetically. It's extremely clean and minimalistic.
Looking to get a cell phone holder for my GS and wondering if anyone has used either the CD Slot ones or the Steering wheel ones? Pics below and of course I would have a black one (not yellow like one of the pics). EDIT - NOT GETTING A STEERING WHEEL MOUNT - AS SOMEONE MENTIONED NOT SAFE FOR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT!!!
Of course I would have a black one, not yellow!
