Default cell phone bracket

I'm looking for a way to get my cell phone away without it being totally out of reach.. I currently put it in the cupholder but it seems to always be in the way. I was doing some internet searching & found this

Has anybody ever ordered from these guys or seen 1 of these in person? I know it states c5 but I think a c6 can be done.. opinions or any other suggestion would be great. Tonya

I leave my cellphone in my back pocket and let bluetooth handle the problem.

I use one of these in my 09; angle mount. A bit pricey but they work nicely.

I have a cell phone that has to be "opened" in order to use the speaker phone... I know this is "Rinky Dink" or not worthy of a Corvette, but it works for me...

I bought the "SUPER STRONG" Velcro the are used with the Easy Pass... I put one half in the center of my steering wheel, & the other half on the back of the cell phone...

When the phone rings, I just flip it open (it has a plug in that tunes it to my FM radio 99.3 ... I drive app 2 hr when going to & from the race track, so if it rings, I open the phone, and press a pre set radio button..

I can hear the other person over my radio speakers (very nice a clear) and just flip the phone closed when I'm done talking...

The Velcro is black and its only about 1" square and it don't bother me... (thats all that matters) and I never enter car shows so its fine. Also if I want to remove it from the center of the steering wheel I can and just replace it with a new piece when needed...

I usually only put the Velcro on the wheel if I'm going on a long trip (1 hr or longer)

No its not a fashion piece, but it works, and its easy to remove when I want.. Also it makes it easy to make calls as the phone is right in-front of me, and its easy to dial.. or just flip open...

Yea I know its my "Red-Neck" phone holder but for .79 cents its a good deal..

There are literally hundreds of us with pre-2010 C6s who are still waiting patiently for Mediatronics to produce their long-promised Bluetooth adapter.

I'm always too busy texting, and checking to see what's going on in CF, to bother with putting my phone down.
I drive with my knees...

I have a stripe of Velcro placed somewhat between the radio and start button.
Works for me and blends in/ not obvious.

In Calif...no handhelds while driving allowed so one must use an ear phone and microphone.

I like the concept, but don't want to block the HVAC vents.

I have also looked at the Proclips, but didn't like mounting them on the other side of the radio - seems like it is too far away.

What would be really nice is if Proclips was able to be mounted under the dash material above the center vent.
