[Closed] Safely Mounting Phone for SatNav Use

That's geniuses! I really must get one of those.

That would annoy me as I often hold the top of the steering wheel, or do a one handed spin of the steering wheel when the heel of my palm just there

I used to have a magnet in the middle of my steering wheel with a piece of metal under the cover of my phone, was a great way of mounting my phone (in the era of the Nokia 8210, great phone)

And there are people out there that would think that was acceptable :-/

I'll bite, what's wrong with it?

(Assuming you drive a car with the speedometer visible, or if the GPS has one)

Might work on a bike, not so good in a vehicle.

About half the price of the Nite-Ize Steely that holds my Otterbox cased iPhone 6+, just about the best phone mount I've come across for satnav use.

Do you not find the magnet stuck to the back of the phone a bit of a pain when it's in your pocket, CZ (apart from the thickness you presumably need to keep it away from CCs)? For that reason I got one of these:

Just a thin piece of metal inside the case which you can't tell is there, and doesn't even interfere with contactless payment. I have somewhere convenient on the dash for the flush mount in just the right place, but they do also do ball mount ones.

That's a trick question, right?
To turn it around, what's right with it?
First of a number of issues; connecting cable

Whats right?
Not blocking the windscreen (common sense being less than common this is probably quite a big benefit to those that put it slap bang in the middle)
