For my devices I usually use a thin rigid case that is easy to snap on and off , and put the mounting hardware on it . Then when I get in the car I just pop the phone into the case and slap it on the mount . Specifically , for my work phone I use the Steely system with the adhesive pedestal . It ' s a high quality , nice setup . For my Pixel XL , I am using one of the cheaper Amazon magnetic vent mounts with the thin metal plate stuck to the back of a cheap thin rigid case that I cut the top section off of to make it easier to quickly insert the phone . It works very well , good enough that I don ' t feel like investing in a better system would make a difference . <| sep |> when i look at that guitar <| sep |> Let me go wash my hands when I ' m walking around with my fish and chips along the sea front , instead of using this two pronged fork the gave me to handle my fish and chips without getting greasy and avoiding the need to wash my hands or carry around napkins . Likewise at a restaurant , let me go shovel my food into my hand like a barbaric ass hole while everyone else uses a knife and fork like civilised people .
