Thanks!

I bought this proClip after alot of research. It is ROCK solid, would not choose anything else.

Mine is mounted in my jacket pocket, which depending on the day may and what's going on, will either be hanging on the hook, or unceremoniously tossed into the back seat.

I should have probably prefaced that by saying this isn't a callout. Having said that; what are you folks doing with your phone that you need to have it stuck to the dash? Between android auto, Bluetooth, the built-in nav and other onboard features, I don't know what I would do with the phone. Mine just sits in its pocket mount, unneeded.

I feel like I might be missing out on some cool thing I can do with my phone that I've not yet figured out.

I think this one comes down to preference. I used a cheap magnet holder from amazon lol

i'm in the medical field and field messages about patients frequently. ofttimes i need to look at images related to their health. my work's messaging system isn't supported in the CarPlay GUI. further, when i get to work, our facility's locked gate is tied to facial recognition via the app's secure system, so i can't unlock the gate if my phone is in the console or tucked away somewhere

my son's in track, and there's constant info from the coaches and between parents. the app we use isn't supported in the CarPlay GUI.

numerous foody apps aren't supported either. ordering via mobile is convenient and makes for efficient pick ups so we get to our destination quicker.

i honestly believe "using CarPlay" isn't necessarily safer either as some may insinuate, especially if interfacing with the GUI on the control display. CarPlay is safest when interacting with supported apps verbally. if you're having to use your fingers on the control display or use the iDrive controller to navigate within apps, how is that any different than using a mounted phone?

**note that i do all the above mostly when i'm at a stop, not while driving, and mind you it isn’t constant. it’s just enough where leaving my phone in the console or in my bag or in my pocket just don’t work for my use case
