Im after a car mount that doesn't stick to, or keep my handset up in front of the windscreen. I like my handset to be on or near the centre console instead.

Do you use anything similar that you recommend?

I find the Brodit Proclip system to be the best. 6 and 6+ mounts should be available by end of October

Last I saw they were shipping preorders mid October. No idea when new orders would go out. I've used Proclip for ages and love the fact that you only need to get a new phone mount when you get a new phone and you use the car mount part you already have. http://www.proclipusa.com
 
I'm getting a cup holder adapter and buying a iOttie car mount. Like this I can have it out of my field of vision when driving but I can still see it at red lights.

This is the adapter with the mount but they also sell the adapter separately:

I have the iOttie and another similar that I bought at amazon. I don't have the 6 or 6s yet but plan on using the ones I have. both secured to the windshield.

I didn't like the HVAC vent blowing over the phone.
 
I bought the Universal Adjustable Brodit/Proclip mount 511479 for my 6 Plus. There is a tiny gap depth wise as my cheap gel case is very thin but I think it will fit perfectly when my nice leather case arrives.

For those wishing to have their phone away from the windscreen, there are usually several options available for most cars, I have attached the options that were available for my car.
