Default Cell phone holders (Android Pixel)

Hey what are you guys using for cell phone holders, this will be my Nav as well. I'm looking for a sleek, mount towards the bottom (by shifter). I have some decent suction cup ones, but not up for using them in the Vette.

Thoughts, pics?

I looked at the proclip, but seems a little aggressive on the way it mounts.

Thx.

I have an iPhone, but the Proclip is awesome. I'm not sure what you mean by aggressive, it just clips to the grip. It's super solid, and puts the phone just where I want it.

+1 on the proclip mount. I used that and mated it to the Samsung qi charger.

What you want is a Kenu Airframe holder on the powerport door. That's what I use and it is simple, looks great, rock solid and puts the phone at my finger tips.

Another vote for pro clip, if you decide to go that way, use promo code "Easteregg" and get 10% off, till midnight tomorrow.

Everyone has their own way of doing things.
I consider a cellphone to be an important piece of emergency equipment that I don't want to risk being separated from in an accident, crime, or other bad event; or by forgetting it in the car. And I'm lazy about putting things on and off multiple times. So I clip it onto my belt when I get dressed, and leave it there except for hand-held use outside the car.
In the car, I use the Bluetooth connection for phone calls. Factory Nav for navigation, or my wife and her Ipad with Waze. An Ipod behind the screen for music, or the factory Sirus/radio. Life is easy.

I can make calls, receive them and the same with text messages, listen to music and use GPS through Apple Car Play and see no need for tacky phone mounts. The phone does get hot when plugged up inside the armrest console, but i just stick it in the radio hub if need be. No need for a phone to be out in this car especially in Georgia where the law is against cell phones.
