Cup Holder phone mounts?

Do any of you use the phone holders that sit in your cup holders? If so, any recommendations on brand? Amazon has many to choose from, and there is that WeatherTech unit too. But our cupholders sit not far under our toggle switches, so not sure which phone holders work vs. don't work. If you have any suggestion, I'd love to hear. If you have a link to the item, even better. I currently use a magnetic phone holder thing, and it works, but never seems stable, it shakes and changes position over bumps.

Thanks!

I have the Weathertech CupFone in my Chevy Colorado pickup (my MINI is finally in the production queue). https://www.weathertech.com/products...rtech-cupfone/

The CupFone works great for me in my truck and it comes with multiple cups of different sizes to fit many cupholders. I haven't looked at the MINI cupholders close enough to determine how well the CupFone will fit but once I take delivery of my MINI I'm going to give it a try before I even think about purchasing some other brand.

The CupFone is super simple with little to fail. Simple is good.

I have the one from belkin, it’s great. I read some complains that it was fragile but I don’t find that to be the case.

+1 on the weathertech holder. I got one for my co-pilot's R60 and she loves it. I don't need one as I don't allow eating or drinking in the R52.

I have a couple of WeatherTech CupFones laying around I would be willing to let one go for 30 shipped if interested. I’ve gone to a scissor mount and my wife’s RAV4 has a cubby hole for her phone. Pm me if interested.

My wife has the WeatherTech one. Simple is great for her. I use it sometimes too.

I'm going to try this one to see how well it works: https://www.scosche.com/mm-msc-phone...agsafe-charger
If it doesn't work well I'll probably just get the WeatherTech one again.
