Best iPhone holder?

I have a Z4MC with bluetooth (which works well) but no SatNav so I will be using my iPhone 5S for navigation and was wondering if anyone else does this and what the best holder might be to allow the phone to be mounted somewhere where I can see the screen.

I have a Brodit in my Z4R but the holder isn't really very central and a bit low but I guess that a similar one might do if there's nothing much better available.
 
Which Brodit do you have ?
I have the one that fits underneath the centre air vents and is easily visible to use as sat nav.

I believe there's one that fits on the side of the central tunnel. That would be too low for me and get in the way.
 
I use this from Belkin, works a treat. It has quite a long neck on it so i can get the phone to sit just where the nav screen would be on idrive anyway

The Brodit cradle attaches to the zed with damaging any trim and you can fit a holder to suit your mobile:

Mine, but maybe the same as yours?

Similar, and in the same position. :)

Place it where you want, add the metal tab to a plastic phone case [or the back of your phone] and you're away! I use this system in the Golf and it has the advantage of not looking like you've got tons of aftermarket plastic in your car. Plus the circular magnet that's left in the car is subtle enough not to notice and if you ever want rid, comes off and cleans up underneath nicely,

But doesn't work with an iPhone with the leather case? I really can't be ar$ed removing the Apple leather cover each time I get into the car! (Thanks anyway for the suggestion).

This looks great! Just ordered :thumbsup:
 
I use the official Kenu Airframe which, being adjustable, should accommodate most cases/covers : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kenu-Airframe-Portable-Car-Mount-Black/dp/B00D901B4W
