Best place to mount a smartphone in the F-Type?

I just purchased a Scoshe mount but am disappointed with the magnetic grip. I placed the large metal sheet inside my phone's case and it barely adheres to the mount. If I just tip the phone slightly it slides off. I haven't mounted the base in the car yet but I suspect it's not going to work. I guess my heavy duty case is too much for it.

I have mine mounted on the inside of the case and it works perfectly.
Obviously, you could try a different, thinner case, or mount the metal plate directly on the back of the case.

Mounted on the defroster vent. Will only fit my Galaxy S7 (not edge) in portrait with little space to spare. Note, when fitting the little magnetic plate, you will encounter issues when you wireless charge your phone on the Samsung puck. If you just plug the USB, then no probs.

I did change the round "head" with another similar unit I had because the magnets were stronger on that other mount and it can stick my Galaxy S7 without the adhesive metal backing that causes the wireless charging probs.
However, the unit I bought does not have branding at all, so I like that. Even though the picture has branding, it is blank.

I would be down for one, as well. I admit, I place my hand there quite often, while shifting. AND I love not dropping my eyes from the road, with my current location above the top left dash power button on lcd screen.
But the magnet sucks and it falls off. So there's that.
Doesn't 3D printing take days for small items?

Has anyone used one of those holders for the cigarette lighter? I used it for one night and it trained my battery --- !

I LOVE the location of mine, but it's still larger than I would like:
