You could have said the same about cups and yet theer are cup holders up the wazoo. I remember Europeans resisted putting cup holders in their cars because you're not supposed to drink coffee when you're driving. Those dumb Americans!
I did not have this problem when I had my truck but since moving into a sedan my cellphone has nowhere to go.
You just bought the wrong sedan. I have a 2019 G80 3.3T Sport and it has an ideal place for my Samsung S8. It also charges it wirelessly while its placed there. (Or, I have the option to connect it via the usb port to use Android Auto.)
There's about 5,000 places I could put a phone while driving in a car. It's not large nor particularly fragile, so just toss it anywhere. Usually I use the vent clip for navigation or to charge. Otherwise I either leave it in my pocket or toss it in on the passenger seat and forget about it since I don't need to grab it every 23 seconds while driving.
OK, this is what I am looking at inside my ES 350. Show me one of those 5000 places.
How those magnets work with phones in a protective case? I have Otter box which is quite robust.
I do have one of those. First, you have to stick a plate to your phone, which I didn't like but did anyway. Then I find out that the clip is too short for my vent without enough tenstion to hold the phone up.
I have one of these in both of my cars and I love them. I've also given them as gifts to other people and they also love them. You don't have to put them in your CD slot - you can also put them in other places on your dash. The magnet is super strong and holds the phone very well.
I do agree with you, OP - it does seem like cars and other vehicle manufacturers would come up with a convenient place for people to put their cell phones.
