Phone mount?

For those who use a phone mount, what are you using? I have a vent one on my F06, but I'm not thrilled...

For a phone holder I'm planning to stick a Scosche magnetic pad on the flat black surface located left of the central display. The angle of display surface is perfect for touch-screen use. My plan is to position the phone a little bit higher than the central screen, to avoid steering wheel obstructing the line of vision.

I've tried to position my phone in a test car, and it looks like it should work fine.

I use a cup holder mount and found it be very useful

I advise not to get the Belkin, I've literally broke 3 of them within a year. Plus you need to look down a bit to see your phone. Better to go with something that attaches to the air vents, that's eye level.
