Prefer not to drill any holes & provide a magnetic phone mount but NOT on an air vent. Suggestions? Recommendations ?

ProClip has custom mounts for almost any car. It's a two part system. You pick the vehicle mount based on the vehicle and pair it with a phone holder based on your phone. If you have a newer iPhone, you can get a MagSafe holder, since the magnets are already built into the phone. I use a mount and MagSafe charger/holder in my wife's car. MagSafe has been one of the best additions to iPhones. No need for a specific case or gluing a magnet to the phone, and it charges wirelessly while on the holder, too. So much more convenient to just pop the phone on and off, case or no case.

However, with CarPlay in my car, I don't have a need to mount the phone. It stays tucked away. ProClip also has a travel suction cup holder. I have one in case I end up with a rental car that doesn't have CarPlay, although that's increasingly almost never the case anymore.

Thank you !! This is perfect for my needs !! I love your 'covering' rental cars as well. I also have Car Play so that makes everything more simple. I've been on the ProClips site & will return for a cup holder type in the event of no Car Play. You've saved me a lot of time too !!
