iphone 6 holder recommendation?
I want a holder to put my iphone 6 into while driving for navigation purposes. I'm using the apple leather case/cover. I tried to google, and got blown away by the options. What's the best? Where do you put it?

Like you said, lots of options.
I'm a minimalist, so I went with this: Logitech Air Vent Mount
It comes with a flat magnet panel to put on the back of my phone and it makes the phone stick to that mount when I put it near. I didn't like all the holders and clunkiness of the other options. Works well on the vent that is just to the right of the steering wheel for navigation purposes.

Ram Mount Cell Phone Cradles & adapters. I've got the Iphone 6+ & I use them in all my vehicles, work & personal. Amazon seems to be the cheapest price. They are built well and have mounts for just about any motorized vehicle.

x2 on the RAM mount, this is the one I have: RAM Composite Twist Lock Suction Cup Mount with Universal X-Grip® Cell/iPhone Holder
I got it because I have various mounts that only fit specific phones that I no longer have, and it is universal. The only drawback I've found is that you need two hands to put the phone in it, which cannot be done safely if you are already driving when you decide to cradle your phone.

I currently have a Samsung S5 and use this:
Samsung Galaxy Universal Suction Car Mount Kit for Samsung Galaxy Phones
Attached to this:
Its about 65$ all together but I works AMAZING. holds the phone tight, easy to read and use the phone for Nav, Pandora, ect. but also releases it with a touch of a button(which is on the backside)
I know your a Iphone but I highly recommend you check it out, Best buy usually has the Samsung holder if you wanted to go check it out in person.

I ordered this one for $20. Arrives today. I already have a dashboard disk from my garmin, so the suction cup should fit on there. Ram mounts are nice, but that thing is HUGE. Too big for the dash. I was worried about hanging a phone from the air vent too.

I use Ram mounts love them! the twist lock base has never fallen off my windshield once, ive Had it for two months my regular GPS suction cup falls off two or three times a drive lol.
They are a little pricey but they have tons of options i got a gopro mount so when i am not holding my phone there i can place the gopro in any direction. I have the X grip one it holds anything that fits in it so i use it for my phone (iPhone 6 Plus) and my Garmin GPS if i ever use it lol. I can post a picture later.

EDIT: FYI find what you need on thier site and get it on amazon usually $2-$4 cheaper on average.

I bought a filson cell phone booster/mount combo. It was about $150 Canadian and it mounted with a sticky pad up near the top of my dash to the right of the steer wheel. Puts my phone in a good spot for viewing/using siri plus it gives me extended coverage. It plugs into a power point. Holds the phone solid and fits both the small and large I-phone.
