Interested to see what all people have come up with. Currently, I am just putting my phone in the cup holder and that seems to work ok... But always room for improvement :P

I do the same, I have a windshield mount but it's a pain to keep putting it in and out of while driving.

Are you saying you have it on the driver side window? If so, what if you go windows down? Have you tried it on the dash anywhere?

Can it suction to the dash by chance? I have the dice dock plug in for my iPhone so I can charge and play music so I gotta have it close to that side but not in the windshield.

I have a Cravenspeed cradle for an iPhone 5. Absolutely love it! It mounts right next to the tach and very visible & easy to reach. The bracket is secured by 2 stews from behind the tack...

How is the Kuda? Looking at that vs Cravenspeed. Would rather have something I could just take down easily, but I don't get the feeling there is a suction cup option for a dash that works well.

I bought the Universal Adjustable ChargerCity Smartphones mount cup holder adapter and the Exogear ExoMount.

I'll take a couple of pics tomorrow if time permits. It clears everything (just clears the shifter in reverse) and keeps it right at my knee. Not a solution if you like it at eye level lke many do, but it works for me. Also just enough distance to connect the lightning y-cable without stretching it.....
