iPhone holder for BRZ
 
I tried the one I used in my previous car but it didn't stick to the Carbon fibre well. Kept falling off when I took a hard turn!
I found this:

Anyone tried one? Anyone got a better solution?

Just so you know it's not real carbon fiber :lol: , but alot of people have had success with this:

I personally use for my FR-S a CD player Koomus magnetic mount, but because I believe your BR-Z head unit is different I recommend the pro clip

I'm interested in the Beat-Sonic one as well, although a bit pricey ~$60 for the holders and stand. I have Note 4 with extended battery and looking for one that will fit for me.

I couldn't find one I liked, so I made my own out of a sheet of aluminum from Home Depot and the cradle from an iOttie One Touch. It is secured by one of the head unit mounting bolts under the stereo bezel.

Now that I'm carrying two phones again, I'm considering making another one that can hold both at the same time.

Yeah but calling it "the fake Carbon fibre" sounded weird! Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

I've had ProclipUSA mounts for my last few cars. Really like them. Same concept as the original post pretty much. Plus the phone holders from Proclip have different options as far as cord/charger abilities. I've got an iPhone mount that uses the original lightning cable. Pop the phone in the mount and it's good to go for charging, Pandora, whatever. Other cars I've had position the phone closer to the driver to the left of the headunit, which I like better. I'm guessing they didn't think there was room in this car to do that though.

I bought this case with magnetic air vent holder combo for my iPhone 6s+.
Pretty strong even though magnet is built inside the cover. Phone haven't fell off from the mount.

I'm using a scosche mount. It works great and holds tight. I don't have to worry about any arms gripping. Just make contact to the magnet and it sticks.

That looks like a cheap alternative, any pictures of it in your car? Also doesn't affect the battery at all? My extended battery was pretty expensive and don't want to kill it off right away lol.

Any good mounts for the Galaxy S6?

I have the beat sonic and love it. Bought both the tablet and phone mount intending to use primarily the tablet for additional gauges. I found that the phone mount was my favourite though and I use it every time I step in my car.

Which one would fit the iPhone 6s Plus? QBA50 QBA51 ?
I know it says one fits a 5 inch and the other doesn't but are they trying to say 5 inch width or 5 inch in height?

You should make a tutorial of this, I have an iOtti and I hate it. The sticky part is really annoying.

I remember this from awhile back he actually sort of did do a tutorial:
