I keep it in my pocket, which is where I always leave it unless I 'm using it or it's on charge. If I take it out of my pocket and put it down/leave it anywhere else, then that's when it get's lost or left behind!

Speaking of which, I just noticed that it's not in my pocket! Where the hell is it? Where have I left the bloody thing this time? AAGGHHHH!!

Sent via my IPhone.


Haha think you better look closer haha ;)

Reading through this it seems to be a slight problem - there's a brilliant shelf on the arm rest above the handbrake for something like a phone.

 

However, would anyone be interested in vinyl leatherette elasticated door pockets (padded to protect phone screens)?

 

If so, how much would you pay for them... any interest and we will give it a thought.

 

 

Thanks

How about something that secures to the front dashboard facia which won't wobble/vibrate so that you can use it for satnav?

Most items on the market use sucker pads which drop off easily. You could incorporate it into your range of dashboards and have something that folds down (like a mini glovebox) which has a method of clipping your phone on to......

Too expensive for a phone storage solution unless your in the market for a dashboard anyway.

 

Plus, there's no space on our dashboards to incorporate additional features. However, if you are in the market for a dashboard and need somewhere to store your phone buy one with a glovebox option (as suggested in the thread, the glove box is an excellent place to keep your phone whilst driving).

 

I was trying to help by offering a cheap solution really...

Well thanks for all the suggestions!  A centre console with a little shelf/hole would be perfect I think.  For now though a longer cable and the passenger seat!

What if someone made a mount that hung from the whole where the ash tray is in the top dash rail? Could that be a viable way? I'd buy one...

When I had my iphone the ashtray held it but now I have a galaxy note I need another option, I think a phone holder mounted into my centre console is in order
