I have a "cubby" just below my cassette storage unit It holds the charger when not plugged in, and the phone and usb charging wire while I'm driving. I don't check the phone until I reach my destination or a safe place to pull over and check messages.

This. The seam location not the vasectomy.

+1. I have the Dension control unit in there also, nice and handy!

I put it in the lower cubby. It's close enough that I can hear the GPS if needed, and just out of reach of the gear shifter to ignore it if I see who is calling.

I went with this magnetic holder for my 6 Plus. Works like a champ.

I got one of the Scosche magnet setups for about $30. Stuck the holder part up high on my dash and everything I get in the car I just put my phone there, works like a charm. I also swapped out my original Becker radio for a new Kenwood receiver so now I can use my phone via Bluetooth for phone, GPS, etc...

Ditto: I do the same thing; however, I was happy to see this thread because I have been keeping my eyes open for a device that I can secure my phone when I am driving. I listen to Pandora so it has to be close to me

Why do you still have the CD and/or Cassette storage thingy? Worthless waste of space. Get a replacement second cubby and swap it out in 30 seconds. Worth the time investment...

Where would I put my cassettes if I didn't have the holder?

I use an Easy-Grip suction cup mount - it is super sticky and I mount it underneath the dash below the radio.

^This^ Yup, I've actually still got some decent cassettes hanging around so why not? between them and 6 CD's I don't have to change them out any more than every few months or so...And God forbid I should listen to terrestrial radio!
