Default cell phone mount

Anybody have any kind of mount for there smart phones that they use? something that looks clean and makes it so you can us the navigation on it? Would be cool to have one that mounts to the dash somehow.

I'm looking for something iphone5 compatible. I need there to be plug access on the bottom. I usually just put mine on the dash in that tray below the windshield but that makes it useless for nav or anything else

go to www.proclipusa.com I think they have the best mounts on the market, not cheap but, they have many options and can be removed without leaving any trace of being mounted to the dash.

I have used the ones that clip in to the air vent, not great.
Not a fan of mechanically mounting anything to the dash or a suction cup to the windscreen.
I got this from Walmart, it adjusts in size, holds my iPhone 5 with a slim cover no problem. It is plastic and is attached by a short piece of aluminium that you can bend to what ever angle and adhered with some 3M tape. So far so good.
The one i had in my last vehicle also stuck on and was made by S-Line, that lasted the 5 years I had it.
Not sure why the pics are rotated. Sorry about that

X2. I used these in my Avalanche for my iPhone 4S w/Otterbox and a navigation/rear backup camera and they worked great. I sold it on eBay after getting my F150 and kniowing I was going to the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Also, my truck has navi and sync so I don't need to see the screen so it usually just stays on my belt. If on a longer trip, it goes in the tray above the navi like you had said.

I thought about getting this for my wife's Camry since she now has my iPhone.

She also currently has a Garmin but I think we should get rid of it and just have her use her iPhone if she needs directions.

Wish i had seen this before i went to Walmart, the Steelie product looks really nice. The benefit of asking I suppose.
I am just wondering if the magnet on the iPhone would get caught up when i put the phone in my pocket..
