Default Phone holders

Morning all,

I've been thinking about this for a while but have yet to come up with a good solution. I want a good way of securing my phone in the car. It needs to be within arms reach for GPS / music changing, visible at a glance, out of the way of knees etc, secure (no wobbling around or rattling), and ideally not stuck to the glass (sucker-marks on glass are a pet peeve).

What setups have you guys got? Any photos? And what phone holders do you use? I have found that phone holders haven't quite followed the trend for wider phones, and my Nexus 5X, which is hardly a phablet, doesn't fit in a lot of them.

I'm using a cheap air vent holder thing that I got on ebay, it works surprisingly good.
Looks like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311465062248
Got it resting on the air knob for some extra stability

Only problem with that from what I've found out is the phone over heats when you blowing hot air.
I've got mine on a suction pad stuck to the dash in the corner, works well.

Also have one of these, they are great! Close the vent if you are bothered about the hot air hitting the phone

Only issue with the cheaper eBay ones is that once the rubber grabber prongs get worn the metal goes through the rubber and then proceeds to scratch the vent fins.

When I tried a vent mount, I found my hands kept hitting the phone or sat nav I had mounted

Does anyone know if the Modifry bracket is reversible for our UK models?
