Phone Mounts? Looking for reviews or opinions.

I'm looking for a phone mount for a 2017 GLE. I use magnetic mounting on the phone. I had CD player mount in a GLK that does not work well at all in the GLE. I think the depth of the slot is different.

I've really only seen the KUDA mounts and the PROCLIP mounts online.
I've never owned either and thought maybe someone who does have one can speak out.
Does anyone have a mount they love?

As a side question... What's up with the horrible Android Auto USB location? Anyone come up with an easy way to route an extension USB or anything?

Thanks everyone

I love the STEELIE mount. Very low profile magnetic mount.

Found the Steelie. Looks like a contender. I'll check inside and see if I can mount it in a good spot.

I find these magnetic clip to be the best mount. Never had to pay for it since I usually get them as swags.

2016 GLE 250d Cavensite Blue Right Hand Drive
I have a slight issue with the mounts suggested here.

I usually drive on bad roads in India and I use a right hand drive so I end up having the phone mounted to my windshield towards the top right of my steering wheel.

The magnetic mounts are no good as they are don't handle the bumps on bad roads and the phone keeps falling off.

Another issue is that I can't charge my phone.

In my honest opinion the ram mount is one of the best in the market. It even handles roads completely dug up.

What I want to know is that can I get options to extend or port my USB charging point to just somewhere below the steering or even near the headlight switch to the bottom right of the steering (for a right hand drive)

Thanks for your opinions.
