    I'm looking for a good phone mount and can't decide on what one to get. Thought about the panavise mount bracket and the niteize magnetic ball mount. Or would that niteize stick to the dash of the truck? Just some pointers/help would be awesome. Thanks!

    I've got the Tech Deck with a ram mount. Super sick setup. Here's an example:

    Do you have the Mob Armor in your Tacoma? If so, can you please post a pic of where it's mounted? Thanks.

    Later.

    I like the Rocform cases and rare-earth magnet mounts. Just a simple button that attaches to your dash with 3m tape. I've been using mine for year and a half and the phone has never fallen off the mount.

    How tight of a grip does that Brookstone have? I use a phone with a lifeproofe, so it's pretty bulky - do you think it could handle it?

    I really like that look and how minimal it is.

    My favorite Mount is the proclip. It's expensive and I was very hesitant to pay that much but after using it for a few months it's easily worth it. You can slip the phone in and or one handed, and if you buy the one I did it's got a built in charger.

    It's surprisingly grippy. They make a larger model for "note" sized phones and big cases.

    I have a Scosche Magic Mount. It puts a piece of metal o the back of the case, and the holder is a magnet. Holds great. I don't jump my truck, but have hit many potholea and speed bumps and the phone has not fallen.

    I mounted it under the lip of the radio.

    After my pa re ents saw the setup I had to go get it for them and install. I like that I can 1 handed place the phone or retrieve it. No opening or closing arms on a mount.
    I biught it for around $17 at walmart.

    I love it, but prefer the non windshield version. I don't want to block my view.
