That's great until you either go for the phone and open the door, or knock it out onto the ground while opening the door.
My phone sits in the little "slot pocket" on the left side of the center console.
The charging cable is long enough to reach and it is 100% out of the way with no chance of it interfering with any other function or action required while driving (or exiting the vehicle).
If you think the door is a good place for your phone, I would recommend the area designed as a door pull/grab handle over the latch area.
