A Clean Solution - 911 Cell Phone Holder

A cigarette lighter based Scosche from Amazon - about $25







Includes two USB charging ports.

It’s basically a magnet, and you insert the opposing piece either between the case and the back of the phone – or you just stick it to the back of your phone.

What is your review of it? The online reviews on Amazon say that it either won't stay in place in the socket or the arm isn't strong enough to hold the phone up.

I'd rather hear from someone with a similar car. It looks great.

The Rennline solution is pretty slick too.

Does it come with an adapter for the oddly-sized Porsche lighter socket? If it doesn't I'd be concerned that it would just rattle around, occasionally falling out into the depths of the passenger side footwell ....

Otherwise it's pretty snazzy.

Matt (in reverse order):
- I’ve had no problem with the flexible portion - in fact, it’s rather stuff
- Re the fit and twisting, I did use two small slices of rubber to make the fit tighter. So far so good.

Around town town it’s great - don’t think it’s rated for the track however...

Thanks. Going to give it a try. Needed something for the trip to Hershey this weekend.
