Default Cell Phone Storage

I'm trying to find a cell phone holder that is not totally cheap looking to install in the Z. I do not want a stick-on or AC vent mount type.
In my Jeep I have a nice electric motorized universal holder. I don't need the motorized action but would like something decent in the Z.

So I am wondering what everyone is using to store/hold their cell phones. Anyone got a nice solution.

Might just by the Jeep one and motify for the Z.

Mine fits perfect in the sunglasses holder and when it rings it echos against the plastic (and is also closer to the ears) so you can hear it better than if it's stuffed beside the emeregency brake. Plus it's not lying around for someone to "see and steal" it. At some point I'll probably get it "hardwired" up there.

I have a startac and i use the little belt clippy thing (yes, that's what they call it ) and clip it to the visor (like a garage door opener, just on the other side of my visor). Works great. I can hear it well, and I just grab it and go when i leave the car.

Yeah, I usually leave mine in my coat or throw it on the passenger seat, in which case it always falls on the ground and I think I lost it.

I'm trying to find a place in my roadster since I don't have a sunglasses holder and I don't have my cubby hole anymore since I have Nav. And I don't have the storage place under my AVIC-N1 since i have Bose.

I was thinking something that velcro's by the passenger knee pad. Anyone?

How about you stick it in the little cupholder box thingy in the console. A cell phone would totally fit in there, even with the cupholder thingy.

P.S. I would just like to vent my frustration with the retardedness of those cupholder thingys. I'm not even sure what to call that little insert thing. :-)

Yeah but then I can't hear or see it when it rings. BTW, I can't stand to have that console open. Thanks though!
