Big QT cups or 32oz insulated tumbler in the cup holders and my wife will usually lay her phone in the area in front of them. On trips the area in the front gets used for various things, like a place to put snacks, trash, etc. When going through a drive thru and getting a drink carrier I'll pull the cup holder part out and put it in the console and have the whole big recessed area to place the drink carrier. Thought about buying another dual cupholder block and popping it in the forward position so I'll have 4 cupholders there and use one for my phone or when my kids in the middle row have drinks that don't fit well in the flip down cup holder on the back of the center console.
