I've had my 2014 RLX PAW-S for about 3 months now, and I've been struggling to find a good place to put my phone. What are ya'll using for phone mounts? I'm reluctant to use any of those vent clip ones, CD slot ones, etc, because I've seen one too many damage a car.

Right now I'm laying it flat on the center console, but it is awkward to grab it or look at it (when safe to do so, of course).

I am using an Anker Universal Car Mount (https://www.anker.com/uk/products/va...mount/A7149011). I don't think they make it anymore. There are lots of similar products on Amazon but I found them to be inferior.

I placed to mount on the upper right hand corner of the dash beside the top right of the screen (it's the widest part as it goes down into a V from below that). I hold my iPhone XS Max with a Spigen case on it no problem. High recommend (if you can still buy it), although downside is I can't do wireless charging with the mount.

Logitech Trip vent magnet.

Does it work? What size phone do you have? I know some of those vent mounted holders don't work well with larger phones.

Its work great on my Galaxy S8. Doesn't work great with a thick case though.

Worked great on my wife's Note 8 as well but once the thick case went on, it didn't.

Get the ones from Amazon called WizGear I have friends that get those which works at a fraction of the logitech's price.

Not a fan of vent mounts (unless you are travelling), but everyone has their preference. If you want a vent mount, I recommend the Airframe+ by Kenu:

or the Spigen magnet vent mount that also allows it to rotate - now called Kuel H12 but I think it was the a201 before:

Those things are huge....

Look at the Logitech One...

I had an Aukey one like that, which works fine except I found on some rental cars the phone would point away from me, which is why I recommended the Spigen one because it can pivot and rotate.

I used this: Works pretty well.

Limelight

I was a chronic text and driver until the government made it illegal with hefty fines if caught. I now leave my phone in my briefcase in the rear footwell and it works just fine.

I hear you Limelight!

But I have a heavy foot and like to see the Police spottings on Waze as I drive....not perfect but it does help and gives me a little extra insurance. Saved me a ticket last night on the 407 with one of the reports!

I used the Macally Car Cup Holder for my wife's iPhone 6S+ with Mophie battery case in the RLX, Amazon, $20:

Comes with a 4" adjustable neck and a base that you can tighten into the cup holder. I like that it is tall enough where I can see at a glance, I can move away from center stack controls, doesn't interfere with front passenger's space, and I can use the smartphone touch screen function very easily. Downside is you are down one cup holder; but, you still have two more cup holders in the rear seat armrest.

For what it's worth I decided to go with a CD slot holder, it covers up some of the lower screen but it's nice how easily you can see the phone while driving.


Later this year I'm going to ditch the phone holder all together by getting wireless android auto in the upper screen and putting the phone in the center console (with a wireless fast charger)

I needed to updated my old iPhone 6S+ to a 13 Pro Max because of the 3G network. Also updated my cupholder phone holder with one with wireless charging. I also added the dual cup holder to add more space the iPhone holder took away.

I’m using one of those round magnetic plates cut with a tin snip and 15lbs two sided scotch tape. I know how to remove the tape without damage if need be in the future.
Then I taped a swivel magnet to a magsafe charger. I'm just trying to decide where to get power. I'm either going to get it from the little "ashtray" door or a 12 socket that I put on the fuse box or the center console. I'm waiting on warmer weather to finish.

I use the magnetic kind that hooks onto the vent slats. I think those are the best. I’ve tried the cup holders (robs me of my cupholder), the suction cups (always fell off) & the taped (i couldn’t get it off on my old car).
