Not sure if I can ask this question here -

Doesn't the cell phone holder on the dash/wind screen cause distracted driving?

It happens to me especially when my phone beeps so I put my phone away when I drive.

It surely does, And hence i never used a cell phone holder after i tried it once, Every notification your eyes would go towards the phone which can be very very distracting and can easily lead to an unfortunate incident.

The Bergmann AutoGrip looks good. Have any of you tried mounting it on the dashboard? The reviews on amazon suggest that it doesn't stick well but I don't know if they are using it right.

Dear JonSnow I have the Bergmann phone holder and have got the 3M disc too and have tried the disc on slightly textured surface like dash top which is flat and it has held in quite well on the surface. You can go for it. Must say the product quality is excellent.

Had bought this for Rs180/- online. It does the job very well, holds the phone firmly and fixing it on the center AC vent makes it the right position for viewing. The access to the phone also is at hands reach unlike the Screen or the dash mount where in you would require to bend forward.
CD mount also is a good option if you consider centered position and reach considering people hardly use CDs, but I found them very expensive.
Mine is a NOTE 2 and rests very well even on bumpy roads. Finally a good buy for a low cost after checking all those unreliable suction mounts. It can be worked horizontally or vertically.

After seeing this (link below) mobile holder in member Nkrishnap's car, went ahead and ordered it and fixed it earlier this week. By far, the most unobtrusive mobile holder I've come across and first impressions are very positive.

It holds my 5.5 inch Oppo F1 plus smartphone without a shake. And the positioning allows me to operate it almost like a head unit, compared to glass mounted holders that are more commonly used.

CrAzY dRiVeR, could you post a picture with the mobile attached to the holder? And the link you posted seems to be broken.

Oops! My bad. Here is the correct link once again -
http://www.amazon.in/QBZ-Accessories...a-9139ab7aed5f

If its appearing broken once again, you can google for QBZ magnetic mobile holder and select the Amazon link. After using this product for a few days, I am loving the way it is absolutely discreet when not in use, and helps me position the mobile almost like a stock touchscreen HU and holds it firmly when in use.

BHP'ian nkrishnap has mounted it higher above the a/c vents as per his preference and its been holding up well in his car too.

Here are some better quality pictures -

Holder looks discreet and unobtrusive when not in use. Center part is the magnet and the four hands are just for holding the mobile in position. Device is held by 3M tapes which need to be applied with the 3M primer they provide.


Dashboard various angles during daytime -




And night time -


Doesn't stick out of the dashboard too much!

Any idea if these magnetic holders will work through a PU leather case. Most of the listings mention hard case only, but has anyone got it working successfully with a soft case.

I'm using transparent silicon cover for the mobile and have stuck the magnet on this cover only. I guess leather should also work as long as the finish of the material is smooth enough for the magnet to stick using the 3m tape provided.

If it's a rough finish or has patterns on it, better stick to other conventional holders.

You are getting me wrong. I intend to paste the metal disk on the phone and then cover it up with a case whose back is made up of leather. Listings mention that it should be a hard case for the magnet to be able to grip on to the case.

Just google for AC vent mobile holder.

It is the best holder in my opinion. Enjoy using it.

I sit on the back seat of my innova and watch a lot of movies, etc on my tab. I am wondering if you have an idea if I can place this on the headrest of the front seat so that I can then watch movies, etc more easily?

Since it is based on 3M tape (and magnets to hold phone), all depends on the material of your seat. I doubt if it would stick on fabric. Leather with a smooth finish should do fine.

You can ask questions on the Amazon site with details of your seat material. The dealer seems quite prompt in answering customer queries.
