Default Phone Mount for 3IS

Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a phone mount for the 3IS. Im trying to find a place to put my Iphone 6s Plus. Also, does anyone have a place where they would mount their car. I have tried to use the iottie cd mount, but the cd is to recessed to fit the mount in. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you

I use a magnet that connects to the air vents, I also had a mount that connected to the seat rail which was really nice cause it had an arm with the mount. I think the brand was called akron or something.

Magnetic mount works great.

I use the koomus CD slot magnetic phone holder. Also can be found on amazon and works well. I am content with it and hasn't fallen off while I drive or hit some bumps in the road. Thin magnet fits right into the case and can't be seen. I use it with an Iphone 7 Plus as well and it fits fine.

Of course, for me I just put my IPhone 5c in the center console. It’s out of sight; it still works fine and there’s no extra clutter on the dash.

I use the phone magnet. Stick a magnetic plate inside your phone case or phone, and stick the magnet holder onto one of the vents.

The phone can easily come on and off when you want it, but yet it holds the phone super well when driving. I've made sharp turns/hit bumps and it had never fell off.

I use the CD-slot version of this iOttie mount. Works really well. Only covers the lower right portion of the A/C radio controls. Sits at the perfect height so I can comfortably use the phone while driving and not worry about CHP seeing me

This doesn't seem like a good place to mount a phone imo. What if it gets knocked off, and gets jammed under the gas/brake pedal?

If you're gonna use this type of mount, stick it on the passenger side. Since you "don't want to look at your phone" anyways

Magnet for the mount is strong enough. Its been on there for almost half a year and didnt fall off once.
I guess u can knock it off the mount if ur the type to move ur entire leg all over the place while u drive

Doesn't it get in the way of the shifter?
