Suggestions on cell phone mount, storage, etc?

New Camaro/ZL1 Convertible owner here. Love the looks and power of this car but struggling with the ergonomics of the interior in every possible way. Hoping some aftermarket solutions exist to make life and convenience a little better.

1. Any suggestions for cell phone holders? I used Pro-clip for my Corvette Stingray, and it looks like they offer a decent solution to mount the phone near the 2 o'clock position of the gen6 Camaro steering wheel. Any fans or this, or are there any good alternatives for the Camaro?

2. I have a lock of pocket and belt mounted gear I like to empty out into a center console, etc, when I sit in body-hugging sportscar seats like the Recaros in the ZL1. Are there any viable aftermarket storage solutions inside the car cabin? i.e. additional beverage holders, under seat storage, a place to dump keys/gear/etc? (the existing center console requires a lot of twisting to access, and is a awkward shape and size).

Anything else I should be thinking about?

I use a ProClips holder like the one in the picture below. Like it a lot, especially when I am using Waze. I can see the screen at a quick glance if I get any sort of alert. If I don't need to see the phone, I just place it on the wireless charge pad, even though it doesn't wirelessly charge my phone.

I have a Scotche (sp?) premium magnetic mount, which positions the phone to the upper left of the touch screen. LOVE IT. Let me dig in my phone and see if I have a pic.

This is the magnetic mount I use and works great!. It's by Vaydir but not up for sale yet. Will be up for sale in about a week or 2.

Proclip here. Been using them on many of my previous cars.
All my experience with them have been great. Well engineered products.

Cuz it’s useful to actually being able to see the screen while using Waze.

Take cell phone and place on ground directly in front of right rear tire.
Apply excessive acceleration.

I like the Spigen phone mount that holds the phone horizontally. Sucks that it has to glued to the dash.

That appears to be an Android phone.. Android Auto. I have Waze running on the center screen. Or is it an older one?

I use a proclip too, it’s ok, not as good as the c7. I haven’t seen anything I like better though. I’ve read posts on here about guys using the console storage things that slide between the seat and console. I don’t have one and am not sure if they’d fit with the zl1 seats, but this is sorta what I’ve seen:

I really need to quit lagging on you guys and get a pic of my mount. Small enough to over look if your phone isn’t on it (unlike the brontosaurus one pictured) and put the phone in a GREAT spot. Guess I need to snag the wife’s phone to get a pic lol.
