Best car phone holders in 2024
1. BEST CAR PHONE HOLDER FOR IPHONES
Belkin BoostCharge Mount
PROS
- MagSafe compatibility
- Charges your phone
CONS
- More expensive than some rivals
If you have an iPhone 12, 13 or 14, take advantage of the built-in MagSafe technology with this Belkin mount that doubles as a charger, with a cable in the box that connects to your 12V car socket. The holder attaches to your car’s air vent and is held in place with a strong magnetic pull that’s easy to shift about with one hand before or after a journey. You can quickly set the phone in any orientation, plus it’s ideal for long travels as it supports wireless charging of up to 10W for top ups on-the-go.
2. BEST WINDSCREEN CAR PHONE HOLDER
UGREEN Car Windscreen Mount
PROS
- Extendable arm for positioning
- Large suction cup
CONS
- Physically larger than vent designs
If you have awkwardly placed air vents or want your handset to be closer to eye level, we recommend a holder that’s installed via a suction mount. This UGREEN model works on your window or your dashboard – with a large cup to keep it in place and an adjustable arm that rotates a full 360 degrees and extends to up to 10cm.
3. BEST CAR PHONE HOLDER FOR DESIGN
UGREEN Gravity Phone Mount
PROS
- Sturdy metal design
- Automatic clamping
CONS
- Side arms slightly cover your phone edges
We’re fans of the sleek design of this car phone holder from UGREEN, with metallic arms and anti-slip silicone pads keeping your phone secure in bumpy conditions. It’s not as chunky as other three-point support mounts, and we like that the side clamps automatically adapt to the size of your phone (up to 7.2 inches) when it’s popped in. There’s a gap on the bottom of the stand to plug in a charging cable, too.
4. BEST COMPACT CAR PHONE HOLDER
Lamicall Magnetic Vent Holder
PROS
- Small size
- Metal plates fit all phones
CONS
- No MagSafe compatibility
We like the smaller size of this car phone holder – it’s discreet and takes up less room than rivals that connect to vents or the dashboard, and it has the added bonus of letting more airflow come through when it’s in place. The phone snaps on with a magnetic pull so you can set it in any position, and it’s not just compatible with iPhones – in fact, there’s no MagSafe: it uses metal plates that stick to any phone.
