I have used most of the places mentioned here, but additionally, sometimes I will unclip it from my belt and clip it to my seat belt across my chest.

Seems like I'm the only one that puts it on my lap. Lol.

cup holder or bottom tray

jimmyl

The back one of the two cupholders, inside a kuzie.
ALWAYS a coffee cup in the front one. Always.......

SpiderX1016

95% of the time it's in my pocket. 5% right next to the shifter or on top of the cup holder sliding door.

I usually keep it in my pocket cause I don't want my phone flying to the floor when I'm driving.
I don't put it in the cup holder, might get sticky lol.

Same order here. During summertime, a cold drink sweats...a lot. I made this mistake and the sweat from the cold drink in the higher cup holder made its way down to the lower one and soaked the bottom of my phone. I haven't put my phone in the lower cup holder since.

I keep mine on the driver door arm rest and for some reason I've never had any problems with it staying put. Now I never turn my car sideways, but I get after it sometimes and my blackberry (tour) doesn't move that much if at all.

That's where I usually put it, whether I'm charging it or not. The only exception is if I had it in my jacket pocket. I usually take off my coat or jacket and put it on the back seat, primarily because the seat heater feels better with no coat or jacket on. If my phone was in a jacket pocket, I'll usually turn on the Bluetooth right before I take off the jacket, then put the phone back in the pocket and put the jacket on the seat.


As far as putting a phone on your lap goes....it seems to me that with all the speculation about whether cell phone radiation is bad for one's BRAIN, then putting a phone on one's LAP is the worst possible place (assuming 95% of us posting in this thread are male, that is). Kinda like how people will carry a Blackberry in a holster mounted on the front of one's belt. A cell phone only transmits when it's in use, but a Blackberry sends and receives constantly....you really want that radiation next to your nuts?

Cupholder next to my wallet...I cant stand ANYTHING in my pockets while I drive...

I was scrolling ever so anxiously hoping to find that there was really a 110v plug somewhere in my car that I had missed. Always finding stuff in these threads I have missed.

Alas...

1995hoo

I believe some electronics stores carry an adapter with the lighter plug on one end and a standard outlet on the other so that you can convert your car's 12V DC to standard AC. I imagine you'd have to be pretty careful what you try to power off those things, though.

On the positive side, it will keep things warm and toasty and possibly act as a form of birth control.

pocket....if phone is charging its in the cup holder

1995hoo

Funny you say that. One of the guys at the place I used to work had four kids. When I made the comment about Blackberry radiation, he stared at me for a minute, then took his Blackberry holster and clipped it to his fly.

Do people really still walk around with cell phones clipped to their belts? I don't seem to notice it as much anymore. Always looked goofy to me.

IPHONE4 USERS:

I put my iphone4 on the driver's side door, where the controls are to open/close windows. The indentation for the controls and the "deactivate all power windows" form a perfect snnug cradle to hold the phone. AWESOME discovery one day

Use HFL and put my phone on top of the cup holder so I see the picture of whose calling or if I am drinking a redbull (which is almost always) then it goes right next to the cig lighter compartment infront of the shifter so I can see the led notifier and easy to grab if someone calls to see the picture.

MofroS

Man, I have an iPhone 4, so you caught my attention. Then I thought about my absent minded ass (per se) opening the door with it in there.

Still gonna try it though.

shellready

definitely trying this tomorrow...i usually close the cup holder and lay mine on top of there

Yeah, thanks cj.

I use this everytime I drive. Plays my music, videos, and charges my phone. It's not for everyone, because it's not easy to make, plus you Lose the cup holders. But I rather have this which I use all the time. than some lame cup holders

Here's a few pics

d-townhakuzo

I do the same thing, and have the same concept of not having your phone in your pocket. Great minds think alike I guess...

Waveform

I don't like stuff in my pockets when I drive either, so I put my wallet in the lower compartment in front of the shifter and the cell phone facing up on top of the covered cup holder compartment. I have the charger wire sticking out of the center console slot just enough to plug into the phone. The phone stays put... mostly.

If you don't slam your door hard when shutting it, the iphone4 is snugly held and won't fly off.

MAC TL

ok since someone brought up phones.... my iphone 4 will not connect to my blue tooth. something with software?

MofroS

Damn drunk post last night and forgot to do this today. In the morning.

LasVegasTL

Cupholder for me too.

I keep it under my balls.


Never considered the cons about that...


But really it just seems to vary. Sometimes underneath the cd player, sometimes in the cupholder, in the armrest if I need to charge it... It just depends.

kevkale

Below the stereo with the bottom compartment door closed, my Droid X fits perfectly there.

EL BAN

Am I the only one that leaves it laying facing up on the drivers side arm rest???

It doesn't slide around because of the cover it has..

I don't leave inside the center console since I always have gum, keys etc in there neither on top of the center console since my iPod always lays there..

But I will try the area on the door people mentioned here

EL BAN

Really?

I have mine since September and still haven't hooked it up..

Let me see if I can try setting it up..

WayneJay

I put my phone in the top compartment too when I'm charging it. Otherwise it stays in it's case attached to my belt.

I do this in my Civic too, but I do it because there's no HFL.

1995hoo

Man, I guess this underscores the degree to which people in Maryland obey the "no hand-held cell phone" law. I wish the use of those stupid things constituted per se reckless driving. There's no excuse for not having an earpiece if a car doesn't have an HFL-style device.
