I don't really like the Kuda, kinda leaning towards the Bimmian or Pro-Clip. I just wanted some feedback on what you guys are using. I've got a Note 3 with Otterbox Commuter which actually, I don't think will work with the Bimmian. I found some stuff on here from a few years ago, but I would think there would be a few more options now.

have you looked into RamMounts?
I use this for holding my MotoX during track days on the window for timing. It's not the prettiest option but it a great universal holder. They do have specific phone holders if you want to go that route too.

They have a phablet option..

I like Bimmian if you can find a mount that will take your phablet.

Not sure. The Bimmian mount works fine and fits my Galaxy S5. It does slightly poke out the trim, but not a showstopper by any means for me. I've heard some people like the pro-clip too but I don't know anything about it.

Another vote for Bimmian if you can find a mount for your phone. I had one in my ZHP and loved it!

I bought a Bimmian phone mount and I loved it for a while. (http://www.bimmian.com/Mobile-Dash-Mount-for-BMW-from-bimmian.com) Then I got a new phone that was slightly bigger than my old phone. The plastic phone holder didn't stretch open wide enough to fit my phone anymore so the whole thing was useless. I was really mad.
So I had a friend tell me about Panavise.
I ended up buying this phone holder from them and I love it. (https://panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&page=full&--eqskudatarq=241)
The quality is a lot better than the cheap bimmian one and it bolts right up to the bracket that my bimman phone mount used. So far I am very happy with it.

Right, that's what I meant. Use the bimmian mount base with another clamp. Looks like a good option.

Thanks for the feedback fellas, I'm probably going to go with the Panavise stuff.

I like the Bimmian bracket, but I think the actual phone clip is very poor quality. I bought it this spring, and the first clip lost it's foam pads within a few uses (they are stuck to a little edge of plastic, the design is ridiculous). Bimmian sent me a new one under warranty saying that they've never had this problem before; the second one is starting to go now as well after a month of use.

Foam sucks. I've replaced mine numerous times.

Not sure if the exogear will, but I could take it out of my Mini to try.

Pretty impressive devise. Even sticks to painted drywall.

Right. Just be careful that it doesn't permanently disfigure the dash.

Have ya'll actually tried it on the dashboard? I have a different one that claimed to stick to dashes, and does to most I've tried. Just not the zhp dash - I think they tiny crevices are too deep :(

I ordered two "OSOmount Push" holders from a seller on Amazon.com, I believe they use the same technology (and maybe the same manufacturer) as the EXOmount. Seems pretty cool. The price shipped was quite a bit better than the EXOmount.
I actually more want these for the Veracruz and the 911. I already have the Bimmian cell holder for the BMW.
