Car iPhone mount?
Not a "travel product", per se, but as I don't own a car, I have a handful of car accessories that I use for travel/rentals.
I'd like as small, lightweight, and versatile (will work reliably well across various car types) a car mount as I can find for my iPhone(5s).
Any suggestions?

I would buy a simple usb car charger and ad something like this in lieu of a mount:

I bought one of these and it works great. Same exact item but from a different seller.
It's cheap and flimsy and awesome because I never worry about leaving it behind in a rental car or breaking it. Someday if it breaks I will just order a couple more. You can't beat them for the price.

I use this + a car charger for insta-GPS when renting cars

I bought a second one for my actual car so I didn't have to remember to keep taking it out.

I use a pair of binder clips and some rubber bands. Cheap, I don't worry if I lose it and it has been adaptable to every car that I rented in the last three years.

RAM mounts offer a number of options to mount either an iPhone with a cradle or a universal mount. I use a universal in the 2nd link.
