This holder is intended to hold a nexus 5x attached to a ProClip swivel mount or another mount with a standard AMPS mounting pattern. You should note that there is no stop at the bottom of the holder. Instead, the tab at the bottom has an array of small holes.
The idea is to use that tab and Sugru or similar to permanently affix a charging cable to the holder as a bottom stop for the phone, which you can see in the photo. (ignore the weird lens flare on the screen)
With the phone in the holder, most of the sides and back exposed, which is important to manage heat when you're streaming music and running GPS at the same time. It also leaves all of the controls, the mic, speakers, and headphone jack exposed so you can use them if you don't have a BT head unit. Even if you do have a BT head unit, being able to easily access the fingerprint scanner on the back or turn on your camera while it's in the mount can be handy as well.
