Phone holder options

I like things being neat and tidy in my car and am looking for the best way to hold my iPhone. I use the gps a bit so i want something that sits higher but dont really want to mount it on the window.
Does anybody have any suggestions or pictures of what you have done?

no offense, but I wouldn't trust a magnet that is stuck to my dash via 3m tape to hold my $1000 phone!

Sucks that you gotta stick this metal thing on your phone though, which makes it thicker and heavier.

its a good idea but I agree. I like the look of the holdmyphone ones. They have two options by the look of it.

Since there's Bluetooth in the car, my iPhone sits in my pocket or in a cupholder in the centre console. What with what goes on in traffic these days, I've got enough on my plate just driving. My music is duplicated on a USB stick, so I don't have to worry about fiddling with my phone to hear tunes through the AUX.

I had a holdmyphone one in my old GTI. Top quality product and no screws- it just fits into your existing trim. I had a mount because I used my iPhone for TomTom and had the handsfree kit plugged into it.

I haven't bothered with one in my 135 as I've got Bluetooth and iDrive!
