Door compartment, when I'm driving my Porsche is my "Me time", I do not answer or text.

In my pocket, can't use it when driving anyway and with a manual I can't really get all that distracted.

It fits in the cup holder if I need it for navigation. I don't usually charge phones in cars.

Cubby hole is perfect for my phone and it doesn't move around. Glad I swapped it out with the CD holder that used to be there.

Cubby for me. As a comparison, I am currently driving a 2015 Cayman S for the week and there is no place to put a phone but, it does have ventilated seats and that makes up for everything.

+1 My phone goes in the door or glove box. I'm to busy enjoying enjoy drive. Everybody that knows me, when I do call back later, they ask "How's the Porsche?" lol.

I prefer the front of my pants.

Since I have no friends it's always on the passenger seat.

There's no way you're driving that thing aggressively enough, grandma. One turn, and my phone would be flying around the car...

To answer the OP's question, I keep it in my pocket - I'll see how the cubby works when I get it installed.

I usually wedge mine in the seam of the passenger seat. Othewise, between my legs on the driver's seat.

I've had a vasectomy - not worried about sperm count...
