    Phone goes in the slot next to the handbrake, sunnies go under the radio.

      I find that my phone goes rocketing out of the center slot under firm braking. The little ramp at the front ensures a trajectory ending somewhere between the head unit and the HVAC controller. Usually the radio. Which is not good.

            Why would I need my phone while I drive? I put my sunglasses in a bag in console under the radio. Phone sits in the open ashtray if I happen to need it. Otherwise phone stays in pocket.

              I just wedge them in the sun visor (unfolded) and the spring tension holds them in place. I never knew that it was such a problem.

                i havent quite "placed" them. everything keeps on moving to new locations....

                the comment about the ash tray makes me interested in obtaining a redesigned tray. something that is less suited for ash than it would be for easy retrevial of change and also less likely to scratch a cell phone. what do you guys think?

                  As long as you pull the metal things out, the ash tray works fine as a storage bin.

                        I use one of those 2 dollar black sticky pads. Put sunglasses and phone on the dash above the vents. Don't let it get to dusty though, my treo hit me in the face when i went around a faster corner... It hurt.

                            Problem solved and you don't ever have to worry about them getting scratched.

                              would you rather it be in your pocket and you have to dig for it while driving?

                              i take mine out and clip it to my sunvisor.

                              i don't own sunglasses, so i don't need to worry about losing/scratching them.

                                My phone stays in my pocket so that the EMF it generates makes me sterile.

                                Sunglasses go in the glove box inside the hard case.
