Default Cell Phone Mount

Anyone have any interesting ideas for where to mount a cellphone? I have a larger phone (note 4) and want to be able to use it for GPS, Torque, etc.. so I want it mounted in an easy to access location, but also very securely mounted to handle any thrashing while wheeling.

I'm thinking of screwing/bolting in a tripod bolt somehow into the top middle... above the radio where the black rubber holder is. That way I can remove the whole mount if necessary, or change it to a different one in the future. I just need to come up with a bracket that would work.

Then got a pro-clip to mount on it.

That is the worst photo! I don't even know what I am looking at. I am looking for iPad mount to use my Delorme app (works great).

I had/have somewhere that mount, too. I used it when Cell phones were phones and even had the corded handset and external antenna. Good times.

I have a note 4 too. Finding a good mount for one is a chore.

A spring-actuated, dash-mounted holder is the way to go.

I use one of these:

iOttie Easy One Touch XL Car Mount Holder
Amazon.com: iOttie Easy One Touch XL Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6s Plus, Galaxy S7 Edge, S6 Edge, Note 5- Retail Packaging- Black: Cell Phones & Accessories Amazon.com: iOttie Easy One Touch XL Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6s Plus, Galaxy S7 Edge, S6 Edge, Note 5- Retail Packaging- Black: Cell Phones & Accessories

My only quip is that when I go from about 170 feet to 8,000 or so the suction cup can lose it's grip on the textured dash. I'm not using the smooth disc attachment, so I can't really complain...
