Cell Phone Holder

I recently picked up a 2005 SL55 and am looking for a cell phone holder to keep my phone in view while driving. Anyone find a good holder? I would prefer something that does not mount on the windshield.

Thanks

Try one of these two iPhone holders to mount your phone close to the reach to of your right hand by the steering wheel:

Thanks all!

I orderd a few of the vent clip models as that looks like it would work well.

Thanks

Kuda makes the best cell holder. It matches the interior of the car.. Google it or go to ebay and put in "Kuda R230"

One question tho, does it come with only the base or does it include everything to work with my iPhone? Thanks.

I bought a KUDA unit for my SL and had to return it. Low Quality Product with faded colors. I do not recommend it. Also it was a hassle to return it and get e refund.
