I have one exactly like that I got from Amazon (this one, but it was prime and $22 at the time) -- I use it toward the tailgate to keep my rtic cooler from sliding around the bed under my tonneau.

I highly recommend them alongside a DeeZee Tailgate Assist.

Okay, I've only got to page 340 so far, but I wanted to contribute these gems. Makes taking your phone in and out of the car so much easier. Have only had my Note 4 with extended battery (Really heavy phone) fall off once after a ton of consecutive speed bumps taken way too fast.

The magnet doesn't mess with the battery?

Magnets don't work like that. You're good.

Pic of how you have it mounted? Was gonna get the one that sticks to the dash but might go for this style. I just worry about it blocking the vent too much and being able to adjust it. Also does it unmount easy enough or does it try to pull the whole thing off?

I bought one of these...didn't like it because it blocked a.c. and the phone would be wet after I got out of the truck. I bought the one that slides into the c.d.player slot...it works great. Never had a problem with phone sliding off magnet.

Not an F150 but I have the same wheel in this truck as all of you. Instead of some generic cover or leather wrap, I used a $9 bundle of paracord from Walmart to wrap my steering wheel. Took about 75' and it feels awesome. If you get it nice and tight you can still feel the finger grooves in the back, and it's got a nice padded feel in your hand.
