iPhone (6S) cradle for car?
I've had cradles in the past but they've been quite poor. All the cradles I see are for iPhones without cases. I have an otter box case on mine so it's fairly bulky. I don't want to have to dismantle the case each time (for those not familiar with otter box it comes in more than 1 part). I also had in the past a cradle…

Car was sold on Sunday, all paperwork complete & sent off.
