Car Phone Mount: Keep Your Phone Close While Driving

Forget about struggling with your phone and your car mount, because the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Universal Car Mount is about to make it a breeze. Designed to secure your phone with nothing but a little pressure and one hand, this device features locking side arms and a trigger button so it can wrap around your smartphone and keep it secure while you drive. It features a universal cradle that works with all of today’s smartphones (and even big cases!), with an adjustable bottom foot that’ll keep the entire mount in place during bumps, turns, and sudden stops. This car phone mount has a telescopic arm that can stretch from 5 to 8 inches in length, plus the ability to pivot 260 degrees. The magnetic cord organizer is an extra bonus, especially if you frequently plug your phone in.

The only disadvantage to this suction cup mount is the suction over time. With wear and tear (and exposure to sunlight and heat), the suction cup can start to lose its grip and come loose. You may need to replace it if this happens.

The Ainope Car Phone Mount makes stashing your phone within reach extra-easy and totally secure. Designed so you can slide your phone downwards into the mount and hit the road, this mount doesn’t require fussing with any mechanisms or clamps. It uses gravity to automatically situate your phone, and it provides an automatic lock that secures it in place. As an air vent mount, it also latches securely onto your vents; three prongs hook around the vents to prevent slippage and any movement while you drive. With universal compatibility, it’ll work with all of today’s most common smartphones, and this car phone mount can even work with thick phone cases. Plus, the affordable price gives you some great value.

There’s just one little drawback: for some phones, the design of this mount may block certain ports and prevent you from charging.

With the Vicseed Car Phone Mount, you don’t have to settle for one mounting location. You’ve got options, thanks to the three different mount choices this device offers. Made out of airline-grade PTFE material, it’s lightweight and able to be placed on your dashboard, your windshield, or onto your air vents. Featuring a long, telescopic arm, you can also adjust your phone’s position and keep it right within your line of sight; the arm extends from 4.84 to 9.05 inches in length and can pivot up and down. Plus, there’s a 360-degree ball joint under the phone cradle itself for even more angling and adjustability. You’ll also like the protective, thick silicone that supports phones between four and seven inches wide, along with the one-button release mechanism that won’t make you fuss with your phone.

Unfortunately, while this car phone mount promises a universal fit, that doesn’t include phones that have grips and Pop Sockets installed. That added thickness prevents a proper, secure mounting. Additionally, when the suction cup gets hit with direct sunlight for long periods of time, it can melt or deform.

If you’re searching for a versatile car phone mount, the Loncaster Car Phone Mount just might be your perfect fit. This mount is designed to suit both cell phones and GPS devices, giving you a place to put any device you’re using for calls or navigation. Designed to sit on your dashboard, the mount can work with any device from 6-12 millimeters thick. With a soft, silicone-textured base and included sticky pads, it’ll “hang on” to your dashboard while you’re in motion, preventing bumps, slips, or even falls when you brake suddenly. It’s even washable and reusable, too; just make sure you only rinse with water, not soap.

Just keep in mind that if your dashboard is curved, this mount may not offer a secure, stable placement; it’s really designed for flat surfaces only. And if you have a Pop Socket or other thick addition on the back of your phone, like a phone wallet, that may mess with your phone’s ability to fit into the mount.

WizGear’s mounting system can be easily attached to the air vents of your car, and once installed, the smartphone is quickly and firmly mounted using a powerful magnet. The set comes with magnetic strips that are easily attached to your phone. They can grip onto the magnet on the holder itself even through a plastic case, so the appearance of your phone needn’t be affected.

WizGear’s magnetic phone holders also swivel back and forth, so you can see your screen as clearly as possible. Not only is this easier on your eyes, but also promotes safer driving, since you won’t be squinting at a screen that is difficult to see. Finally, a pack of two of these holders can be had for a reasonable price. Much like most vent clamps, this option may not hold your phone steady when you hit a hard bump or when you drive on rough terrain. It’s best used for smooth highway driving.

TechMatte’s car phone mount is attached to your dashboard or windshield through a sturdy suction cup. Your phone is then connected to a pad through a series of strong magnets and with its one-year warranty and durable design, this mount will keep your phone safe even on rough terrain. Customers report that the magnets are strong enough to withstand sudden stops and potholes too.

The adjustable positioning also allows you to see your phone at any angle, making it easy to keep an eye on navigation without being distracted from the road ahead. All this along with the strong and reliable suction cup installation makes this phone mount also a great value option. Just be warned that the suction cup may melt in hot weather. Therefore, consider attaching it to the dashboard where it’s not affected by the sun on hot days.

Compact, bracket-free phone holders are convenient for short drives and that’s why more than one makes our list. The reason you are going to want the Humixx Magnetic Phone Mount is that it can be attached to any flat surface — in your car, your home, or your office — via a strong adhesive base. Your phone is then secured in the holder through powerful magnets, and a small magnetic circle is attached to your phone, which aligns with the magnetic surface of the phone mount.

The silicone surface of the mounting circle means that the back of your phone won’t be scratched, but can be easily rotated a full 360 degrees. Because the phone is mounted via a magnet rather than gripped in a cradle, Humixx’s holder is compatible with virtually all smartphones. This magnetic holding mechanism also makes attaching and removing your phone as simple as touching it to the magnetic pad and gently pulling it off.

Lisen’s magnetic phone holder is another great option that mounts easily onto your car’s air vents. Fixing a nagging issue that’s typical with most air vent-mounted phone holders, this model utilizes a special hook-shaped grip with three grasp points to ensure a firm grip on the vent so it stays in place even when driving on rugged terrain.

Also, there’s nearly no chance of your phone ever falling when you take into account the six, built-in magnets that are capable of securing objects four times as heavy as the average smartphone. To ensure comfortable viewing of your phone, the magnetic holder rotates 360 degrees, and different shapes of metal pads are included to accommodate various sizes of devices.

If reach and visibility are two of the top features you’re looking for in your car phone mount, the Qifutan Car Phone Mount can deliver.

As an added bonus, the sticky suction cup can be removed, washed, and reused as often as needed. Plus, you can use his mount with any smartphone that measures 4-7 inches wide.

However, you’ll want to keep in mind that the adhesive included for this mount may not be strong enough for every user. You may find that you need to buy stronger adhesive strips, depending on where you’re sticking it.
