Default Phone Mount Stick-on Shootout

Since nobody's been posting anything worthwhile on the "what did you buy" thread, I needed a fix so I bought a few phone mounts to see which ones would work best.

I don't charge my phone in the car so I just needed a mount. Otherwise it'd fall out of my pocket and I'd have to fish for it after I got out or it'd be on the passenger seat.


Here are all the contenders in their packaging. All bought on Amazon.

What they look like.

TT&C [ 2 Pack ] Magnetic Phone... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q4N5MWD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share https://a.co/d/1wEZxNb $10 for a two pack. Most unobtrusive. Don't really dig the gloss gunmetal frame. Very adjustable except for vertically.

JOYROOM Magnetic Suction Cup Phone Mount, Silicone Suction Phone Case Grip Stand Holder for MagSafe, Hands-Free Mirror Shower Phone Holder Mount Fit iPhone 15 Pro Max, TikTok Creator|Videos|Selfies https://a.co/d/cW39t2I $20 Other member posted this. Too big. Sticks out. Handle is out of place and every time I see it I want to do the 3RS handles mod. Suctions work just fine. Not adjustable.

LISEN for MagSafe Car Mount, [24 Strong Magnet] Magnetic Phone Holder for Car, Hands Free iPhone Car Holder Mount Dash Phone Mount for Car Fit for iPhone 15 14 13 12 Pro Max Plus Mini MagSafe Cases https://a.co/d/id7d4L7 $10 I like the style of this. Don't like the laser engraved logo and gloss gunmetal finish. Base fits perfectly. Doesn’t swivel so the only way I would mount it would be on a bias so the phone would face me. But when you do that the magnetic top part protrudes when laid flat.

SYNCWIRE Fits MagSafe Car Mount for Universal Dashboard & Tesla Screen, Carbon Fiber Magnetic Phone Holder for Car, Super Stable Magnetic Car Phone Mount for iPhone 15 Pro Max 14 13 12&All Phones https://a.co/d/67V6QVo $35 IMO the best looking one. Has ridged base dial and carbon fiber look piece that complements the interior nicely. Highly adjustable. TOO BIG. Weak magnet.

I chose the TT&C. Small, unobtrusive, cheap. Does everything I need and cheap. Did I mention it's cheap at $5/piece.

I wish the syncwire were smaller. I'd probably pick that if it were just because of the form factor even though it's something I picture an uber driver having.

@dhirm5 pls purchase through my links so I can get five cents per sale.

I really like the one from Kaizen. Works like a champ. I had the proclip before.

That does look the best, but I need that keep holder. And I haven't seen any aftermarket cup holder I'd ever buy.

Use this. I think this is the best. For me at least.

Mount is proclips usa. Stick a magnet you can buy from Amazon.

I think the best solution for phone and cupholder, but the cupholder is a bit spendy. OTOH, it'll handle a large Yeti or Stanley (I suspect that 95% of all 911 owner's significant others have a Stanley Cup).

I’m trying to understand the need for any phone mount. I just put mine in the center console. If it’s a long drive, I plug it in so it stays charged. Anything I need to access on the phone I get through CarPlay.

Anyone with a pre 2022 992 and an android phone is not as privileged.
That group may find a mount more necessary.

even then, just plug it in and put it in the console. i plug mine in and leave it in the bin where some have a cup holder. never need to touch or look at the phone when i'm driving. since i have a wireless connection it just normally goes in the door bin.
