The iPhone doesn't fit with or without case, neither do glasses or pretty much anything else - smaller drink cups, cans, etc.
Good only for change, spare keys (I carry some other keys separately).
I still prefer it to the smoker's pkg but only because I'm picky and don't like the chrome strip on the door flap for one, and I would likely never leave it with the flap open.
My guess is one day someone will create either a permanently fixed lid, or perhaps more likely a retractable lid but for the non-smoker open box.

I didn't think about the smoker's package until my salesman suggested it. I thought I'd skip it and use the little cubby to place my iPhone. But it was too small for even that. So it made sense to get the package because it adds the lighter and the door for a cleaner look.

I think, one should always get the somer's package. Looks much nicer and you get a free 12V plug, instead of a too small cuby hole. Porsche and "free option" is very rare, so take advantage of it!

MY SA told me to plug in the tender on the passenger footwell and run the wire out below the passenger door, which is what I am going to do.

I ordered my 2014 C2 coupe with the smokers package. At first I wasn't going to go for it because, well im not a smoker 
But I saw that i liked the finished look of the smokers package so I decided to go with it.

Since the subject of where to plug in a battery tender has come up in this thread, my question is: How long does a 911 have to be sitting idle in order to require a battery tender? More than 3 months? 4? Or as little as 1 or 2?

I think it says 6 weeks in the user manual.

My cars are all sunny weekend toys. If I ain't driving it, it's plugged in. Been doing this for years. It's so easy to do, why not. This is the secret to making your OEM battery last more than 5 years. Certainly during winter hibernation.
