Cell phone holders in Vehicles ??

[coobie]

Tired of trying to find a place to lay my cell phone in my truck/cars.I looked at cell phone holders that set in your cup holder then expand out.The model I ordered was a Mediabridge smart phone cup holder model from amazon.Anyone try one of these cell phone cup holder models? If so how do you like it? Or post what you are using in your vehicle.

For our vehicles, I buy from ProClip USA, they are custom made for each vehicle and phone and work extremely well.

My wife just bought some cheap air-vent clip-on magnet that has a corresponding metal disk that you put inside your phone case, between the case and the rear of the phone. You'd never know the metal disk is in there. Just put it near the magnetic vent clip and it sticks. Worked very well. I was surprised for less than $10.

This sounds good. I have about 5 and none are any good. They try suction cups, clips that go in the vents. I saw a “heads up display” that projects the phone for a straight away view. Don’t know, end of the year, Ive spent enough money this year.

I put it in one of 3 cupholders in my center console of my Chevy truck. Works well there.

Verizon stores have at last 5 different solutions. Also check Amazon.

I have a shallow tray - dead center, top of the dash. One folded shop towel - lay the cell phone up there. Good reception - easy access.

I have an older phone that I use an app on to monitor engine parameters while driving, so I use this to keep the phone visible. Driving over rough terrain would probably shake it loose, but it's never moved or fallen out on me so far.

I also have this on my F150. Works great EXCEPT - when the sun shines on it the phone overheats and shuts off.

I bought a ProClip for my F-250. Hated to spend the money, but it was worth it! I've tried the air vent clips, cupholders, etc. over the years and never liked any of them.

WoW - KennyG - my situation is an F-150 also. Have to be aware of the condition you describe. Too bad cell phones don't have solar recharge ability.

I have a couple of these that I use in the cab tractors,

The suction cup mounts with flexible arms work good and seem to stay in place well.
I put them on the left side window and use the speaker function when I use the phone seems to work fairly well.
I keep contemplating changing the radio in my tractor so it will blue tooth into the phone.

We saw commercials for a Weathetech cell phone holder that sat in a cup holder that looked really good. I looked for it on Amazon and the reviews where pretty bad, so I went with the one with the best reviews and bought it for my wife.

She's had it a week and loves it.

Just to point out the obvious. Turn the damned thing OFF and put it in your pocket. You ain't supposed to use it while driving anyhow.

I bought one with about a 1 foot gooseneck. Primarily so I could clip it up various places to use with my cell phone as a remote camera.

/edit - maybe 18"?
But EVERY holder I've tried in a vehicle was not easily used with my Android phones. Swiping, typing etc. for GPS use was usually a pain. And GPS use is my primary phone application while driving.

If I need hands on use of the cell phone in the truck/car I prefer my TFY Sport Armband strapped on my wrist, like a BIG watch. This let's me do things like punch buttons for voice recording, swipe for GPS use, answer phone etc. with a firm backing.

I just broke down and bought a new truck that came with blue tooth. :laughing: It works great with calls and for texts it reads them to you and sends an automatic message that you're driving and will answer later. The back up camera sure makes hooking up the trailer so much easier!
