    Phone Mount

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone has found a phone mount for larger phones such as an iPhone 6 or Samsung Galaxy S5/S6. I was looking at the Bimmian/Panavise mounts but found that they don't fit larger phones. I would like to avoid using a suction cup mount on the dash as I don't want to leave any marks on the dash, and I would like to avoid using an AC mount as I don't like having the vents covered.

    You are going to have to combo it: Bimmian for the dash mount, Proclip for the phone. Mount the Bimmian dash mount to the dash, then mount an appropriate Proclip phone holder for your phone to the Bimmian mount.

    I use this little thing that clamps on to an air vent vein... http://www.amazon.com/Tetrax-72008-S...eywords=tetrax

    All you put on your phone is a little magnetic button (I have a lifeproof fre case on my iPhone 6 and it works well in both my zhp and my e61. Although it does cover a little bit of the vents, I offset them just to the left in the winter where I don't necessarily need air in my face and then to the right when I want cooling hitting me up high.

    This is what I use. I really like the setup. One downside is there is a slight buzz over rougher roads that I have yet to eliminate. Need to figure that out. It looks like this in my car (although I have since painted the bolts):

    I bought this since my iphone 6 wouldn't fit with the stock Bimmian mount and didn't feel like spending more for a different one. Can't beat it for 8 smackers. Don't like it, give it to a friend. I put the super thin metal backing plate between the outer shell of my case and and the phone so no need for any adhesive. You can give a light toss and it'll catch the phone. Very powerful magnet but soft mount so it doesn't damage the vent.

    I noticed on the magnetic mounts. Just curious that they will not work if your phone is wrapped in a phone case....which I use on my S6. And I don't intend to stick a metal plate on the case.

    Hmm...guess it depends on the case, but I haven't had any issues.
