I bought mine through amazon. Search for "Exomount Universal Car Mount" comes in both white and black.

Can you link this one?

And For me my only worry is that the bulkyness of it/that bottom bot/nut to adjust the angle would get in the way of the touch screen.

Here is a link to the phone holder.

It was a bit awkward adjusting the joint while mounted, my tip would be to tighten the "nut" until it supports your phone BEFORE you mount the suction cup.

Phone is nice and secure, great use of the little side mirrors, and does not impede forward vision. I also have the mount positioned in a way that I can (while the phone is mounted) open and close my door without snagging anything.

Hope you guys enjoy the set up, let me know how it turns out for you.

http://www.tetrax.com/en/products/ip.../tetrax-fixway,
That's an awesome idea. So, no phone-death from those super-powerful neodymium magnets being attached to your phone? Because from my experience, many electronic devices don't play nicely with strong magnets.

Although I REALLY like the idea. Think it'd be awesome to mount the magnets BEHIND the dash, and have your phone auto-"magically" stay on the dash.

Anyone know how thick the CF dash is? Thinking about making a hidden mount now. Should only cost under $10.00

Thinking of getting two axially-magnetized N52 neodymium disc magnets (one 1/32" thick, one 1/4" thick. Both 1" diameter), and mounting the thick one behind the dash (using some 3M double sided stick tape), and putting the thin one in between my phone and TPU case.

Did a real quick test with some thumb tacks pushed through the inside of the case (and broke off the points), and used a 1/2" x 1/8" N35 neodymium disc magnet behind a piece of plastic 1/8" thick, and held (barely) the phone while upside-down. So using two magnets (higher strength, thicker, and larger diameter) I think it should have no problem keeping the phone in place.

Link to the magnets (and there's a cool magnetic calculator there too if you're interested:

http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetai...prod=DX04B-N52
http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetai...prod=DX001-N52

Only question that remains is whether those magnets will FUBAR my phone...

I like my ProClip. A little more expensive then others (mine was around $65 with shipping), but I think it is perfect. Spins 360 degrees and tilts.

I use a capdase mount from ncix.com. Not pretty but it works really well and easy to touch while driving. - not that I do that of course. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359173560.163512.jpg
