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!

Been using a JOYROOM Motorcycle Phone Mount most recently and been pretty happy with it; can easily swap between different handlebars of different sizes and seems reasonably secure. Guessing its a generic alibaba phone mount that's rebranded a dozen different ways.

Not a fan of stem mounts (because I want to be able to more easily take it on/off) or mounts that require special phone cases or permanent phone case adapters (because I don't use the flagship phones that have dedicated cases and I don't want something sticking off the back).
