The best solution bar none IMO is a proclip and their iOauto Pro magnet mount... you can mount ANYTHING to it, just get additional magnetic stickers to use on any device you may want to mount.

Well it believe I saw somewhere that about half of the people that buy huge 5.5 inch phones end up going back down in size for their next phone upgrade.
I believe I saw it somewhere that people that buy tiny 4.7 inch phones end up going bigger their next phone upgrade.
The 6 Plus does not fit in my cupholder which is where I set the phone when it's charging in the car. It also does not fit overtop the in-dash screen in my car like the 6 does (sometimes I use it for Nav since the factory nav sucks sometimes, so I lay it right over the screen). 6 FTW in the car!
I had a similar magnet mount but was inserted into the CD slot. Problem was with a big phone like a Galaxy Note II, which is smaller than the Plus, it would start to rotate on the magnet mount during hard turns/cornering. So freakin' annoying that I returned it.
I went ahead and bought a new iOttie One Touch dashboard mount to replace the one I was using for the 5S. Problem solved 
Pro clip all the way.
I have a 5.9" HTC one Max and the dashboard mount fits perfectly. Mounts to the side of the center console, giving me access to the phone. The mount swivels, is very strong and looks good.
Btw. I've had cd mounts, air vent mounts and suction cup mounts, and none of them work with a heavier, larger phone.

thanks, i did as well. seems like a cool project!! hope it holds up under the weight of the 6+.
+1 for the airframe. I have been using it for my iphone 5 for the past year or so. Like someone said you need to get it positioned just right depending on your vents and it will feel very solid. Really easy to put your phone in and take out too.
No problem! My friend has one and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it instead of my bulky suction cup mount...
This one is pretty strong. My phones have never moved on it and I have had a ton of phones
Huh? I got mine for the bigger screen and so I can see it better in the car. Remorse is more likely on the 4.7 than the 5.5. I have my 5.5 case already and it fits my hand well:
I suggest you consider the context of my post. I was responding to the OP who ordered the iPhone 6+ without thinking everything through like not being able to mount it in the center console of his vehicle. You may have done your research, but many people (including the OP) didn't hence the pending buyer's remorse which will obviously happen to a certain segment of them.
My point is I don't think there will be "a lot of remorse for 5.5" buyers". I could just as easily claim that 4.7 buyers will be more remorseful getting a smaller screen and lesser specs. The OPs issue is likely a lesser problem than those that might not fit a 5.5 well enough for everyday use, or the 4.7 screen just isn't much bigger and wish they had the bigger screen, or wish they had 1080p. There will be remorse on both ends, as with any choice of such a purchase.
It'll most certainly go both ways, but given the number of members who were originally considering the 4.7 only to opt for the 5.5 once they learned of the better specs one scenario is more likely than the other.
That's not buyers remorse, it's simply a buying mistake due to poor research.
Buyers remorse is buying something that you didn't really want at all and then regretting it (which in fairness, we've all done).
There's a huge difference between buyer's remorse and a poorly researched purchase decision.
