Best way to attach phone to bike? (lemm.ee)

Hi all, I just got a new bike and I want to find a good solid way to attach my mobile phone somewhere near the stem. I want to be able to track some of my rides and use the phone for navigation sometimes too so it has to be visible & touchable wherever I mount it.

My bike (Cannondale Topstone 2 gravel) has mounts for a top tube bag, or I think I've seen some sort of secure mounts in use by folks I ride with.

What's your fave solution for this these days?

Cheers!

Peak Design has the best mount system + phone cases, IMO. I've also used quadlock and I think this one is better.

I like the out front style since it can be centered in front of the bars and not block any hand position, plus I mount my headlight underneath the phone mount. It's nice and sleek.

No I don't want a stroller mount...

NO I Don't want a wallet mount...

NO I DO NOT WANT A WALL CHARGER

I ALSO DO NOT WANT A CAR MOUNT...

Haha, yes. I did their "bundle" process and even after no-ing my way through all that, there was still an extra case included I never asked for.

Still might go this way though.
