iPhone Car / Window Mount

What do you guys use to mount your cell phone to your dash/window?

I had an iOttie but the backing is starting to fall apart from normal wear and tear.

Looking to hear your suggestions on a new mount.

Thanks!

I use the Kenu vent clip. Very minimalist, doesn't look bad or ugly when not holding a phone.

I hated the kenu. It require a lot of working placing the iPhone into the frame and times it would move around too. I finally switched to magnetic and glad I did. So much less hassle

It's funny, I had the opposite problem. The magnet was too strong on the magnetic clip I had, so it would often come out with the phone when I tried to take it off. The find with the Kenu, it just stays put when removing it one handed. It might move a bit if you push on the clip, but at least it stays clipped and doesn't move about while driving.

Try the spigen mount. It's very secure. The kenu is too much fuss and at night sometimes placing the phone just brings in more problems.

And it's at a very low cost. I put plates on all my iPhone cases. And have these magnetic mounts on all my cars

I like the grips on articulated arms that plug into the the cigarette lighter
and are a charger at the same time. I can move it from car to car easily .
