WeatherTech Cup Phone.

Hello.... I'm thinking about purchasing one of these devices with the extension to hold my phone. My concern is because our cars dont have spring loaded cup holders, I'm worried the device may not be secure in the cup holders. Does anyone out there have one of these? If so, how do you like it?

I have one and it works just fine. It holds my phone in the passenger cup holder, if the cup holders were a little deeper it wouldn’t move. It rocks a little back and forth but doesn’t fall out, even on the tail of the dragon.

I have one of these with a magnet mount attached, and the phone is rock solid:

I would imagine a cup holder mount would get in the way. I can barely keep my water bottle down there, and it’s only 18 oz.

I can hold a monster in the driver side and cup phone in the other, passenger doesn’t get to drink, since they can’t respect the mini 😉 I had the cup phone from my mustang, which had deeper cup holders and it was great, I get we are driving a mini, but did they have to shrink the cup holders too?

I keep my wallet in the driver side cup holder, and water bottle in the passenger side. Also with the Proclip, GPS is easily seen without being distracting.
