The following is not a criticism of your choice, just observations.
Interesting location, but not only will the phone be in one of worst location for a quick look (actually dangerous), any larger phone will cover 1/2 of the console buttons. With USB ports in both the console and glove compartment those are better homes for the phone.
Also with connectivity to the PCM there not much of a need to even see the phone.

that is a MagSafe charger. And with CarPlay, you never need to look at it. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
are those safe to be installed over OEM?
since they let the engine suck more air.
I’d lean on the side of caution if I were the first person to install these, but I assume thousands have been installed, with only positive feedback.
Induction noise has increased slightly, same with throttle response, and my butt dyno wants to tell me I gained a massive amount of HP, though its probably in the low single digits . The whole point is to feed the engine with a less restrictive filter. I’ve added BMC filters to my sports cars for years now, with no issues. Prior to BMC, I used K&N, and these caused an issue, as they usually come heavily oiled, which messed with the downstream MAF.
have you noticed a big difference with these, i noticed the other day driving with one window down the buffeting was pretty bad, almost as bad as it was with my Supra.

I don't really use the phone in the car. I'm pretty sure any location in the car is technically dangerous for quick look. It's just a super convenient place to keep the phone and have it charge while the battery gets drained by all the CarPlay functions that I use. It's just easy to plop it on there when I get in the car and grab it when I get out.

My phone is a monster, it would cover up too many console buttons and I have additional controls in the cubby that is the smokers package, so my phone has to go elsewhere. Right now, usually the smart phone compartment.
But you are right, your choice is a much handier location!
