Lightbulb Phones that fit in the arm rest or don't!

So I've had a good amount of phones in the past couple of years and would like to share which ones fit and which ones don't.

Feel free to post your findings as well.

Starting from the latest:

Samsung Galaxy S9 = Fits even with a slim case (I have the Spigen Rugged Armor Urban case)

Samsung Galaxy S9+ = FAIL

iPhoneX = Fits even with a slim case

iPhone 7 = Fits

iPhone 7+ = FAIL

HTC U11 Ultra = FAIL

Samsung Galaxy S8 = Fits

Samsung Galaxy S8+ = FAIL

BlackBerry KeyOne = FAIL

Just got my iPhone X along with the Spigen Rugged Armor case and it fits easily and the phone was charging wirelessly

Not the center armrest, but my iPhone 8 Plus fits PERFECTLY in the cupholder section under the center console in front of the shift knob. With the case I have for it, it's like it was made exactly for that section. Nice little bonus!

This is how & where I have been placing my phone, but reading the above posts about the iPhone X fitting in the wireless charge cradle makes me want to get the X now, damn you people!

Nice. I like storing it under the armrest so it could charge wirelessly

Sorry man, would you like me to send you a photo of the phone with its case in the arm rest and make you go to the Apple Store tomorrow to switch?

BTW, This is the case that I got, it has elevated edges on the screen or whatever they call them to protect the screen even when it's facing down

Case: iPhone X Case Rugged Armor

Screen Protector: iPhone X Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM HD
