Car phone holders to keep your handset secure on the move. Car phone holders are brilliant gadgets mainly because they solve a universal problem as simply as possible. While we all know how invaluable your phone can be in the car as a navigational aid it's imperative that it’s both safe and secure. You also want to be sure that you’re hands-free legal too, so selecting one of the best car phone holders here should do the trick.
As you’ll see from the options below, car phone holders can be quickly and easily fitted into a prime position, using various mounting options. In addition, the best car phone holders will also work with many or all smartphones on the market. While it is tempting to go for a cheap and cheerful option, we think it's worth spending a little more on a premium car phone holder, which should deliver lots of dependable service as well as more practical features into the bargain.
1. Quick Touch One Car Mount Windshield/Dashboard Holder
Holds phones safely on either your dashboard or windshield.
Considering its relatively cheap price the ZAAP Quick Touch One Windshield/Dashboard Mountable Holder feels a lot more premium than you might expect. The main appeal of this car phone holder is that it’s versatile and can be attached to either your dashboard or your windscreen.
Better still, once you’ve set it up the device holds your phone safely and securely, plus it’ll work with popular smartphones. In fact, it’ll be able to handle just about any smartphone with a screen size between 2.3--3.5 inches wide
Some lesser car phone holders can be tricky to get into the precise position that you need, and we all require different viewing angles depending on our height and driving position, so the benefit with the ZAAP Quick Touch One Windshield/Dashboard Mountable Holder is that it boasts a 360-degree rotating. That means you can position it precisely, while the suction cup feels like it’ll be able to stand the test of time too.
As with all of our examples, this model allows you to enjoy hands-free convenience, which means safe navigation as well as calls or, for example, in-car music management without distraction while you’re driving.
2. Olixar Nova Grip Universal Vent Phone Holder
A holder that easily accommodates phones of any size
Portrait or landscape orientation
Works with phones in cases
Requires horizontal air vents
Car phone holders generally work by attaching to either your windscreen or, in the case of the Olixar Nova Grip Universal Vent Phone Holder, somewhere on your dashboard. This model is appealing as it allows you to affix both it, and your phone, to one of the dashboard vents in your car.
The device is pretty flexible too, thanks to a design that combines a 360-degree ball joint mechanism that lets you position your handset in either portrait or landscape orientation. It’s possible to tilt the accessory too, so you can create a more precise viewing angle depending on the position of it in your car.
Its spring-loaded mechanism, with a width capacity of 82mm, means that the Olixar Nova Grip Universal Vent Phone Holder is able to handle a host of smartphone models. Setting up and using the device is quick, easy and it works a treat with the horizontal air vents that are common to many cars, both new and old.
We like the way the grip is solid but at the same time won't damage your prized handset. Another practical point to note is that the Olixar Nova Grip Universal Vent Phone Holder will also accommodate your phone if it’s already in a case.
3. Arteck Car Mount
An excellent choice for your dashboard or windshield
Sticks securely to dashboards
Affordably priced
Grips phones gently
The Arteck Car Mount is a classic example of the ‘simple is best’ design philosophy. This universal phone holder has been praised by all and sundry, and it’s easy to see why.
While this model can be attached to your windshield, the sticky gel pad works particularly well for dashboard-mounted locations. Add in the ability to air-lock the pad in place and you’ve got a robust in-car solution that doesn't leave you feeling nervous that it might suddenly pop off as you’re driving along. Going for a dashboard mounting option makes for the optimum position for an in-car phone holder anyway as it leaves your windshield free from any kind of obstruction.
As with the many other models here, the Arteck Car Mount benefits from a 360-degree rotational design, which means you can easily get your handset into a prime position prior to a journey and then not have to worry about it again.
The Arteck Car Mount works with a raft of common smartphone models, including the Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max as well as Android models. While the grip is definitely reassuringly snug, the Arteck Car Mount is still kind to your handset, which is pretty good for such an affordable bit of kit.
4. Yosh Car Phone Holder
A super simple magnetic design that's great for heavy handsets
Can support heavier handsets
Extremely simple to use
Means sticking a plate to your phone
This is another absurdly simple but really quite clever car phone holder that can give a safe, secure and road-legal home to many popular smartphones. The black plastic accessory is another one that's vent-mounted, thereby leaving your windshield free from obstruction. And, perhaps more impressively, for something so unobtrusive the Yosh Car Phone Holder can keep any kind of screen in a stable position, including tablets.
The magic happens thanks to neodymium magnets, which means that it’s able to hold handsets in just the right position to suit you. One minor downside is that you’ll need to stick a small metal plate to the back of your phone for the magnetic magic to happen, although a workaround for that is to stick that to your phone case instead. However, the solid grip that you get thanks to the magnetic aspect means that your smartphone (or tablet) stays nicely in place once you’ve positioned it.
For something so basic, the Yosh Car Phone Holder is perhaps one of the most faff-free and top-value accessories we’ve come across. The other benefit of the powerful magnet setup is that it’s able to handle heavier phones without any fuss.
5. Exshow Car Mount
A supremely flexible phone holder for your windshield
Impressive height adjustment
Handy quick release function
Can be a little wobbly
While phone holders work well when mounted in, on or around the dashboard area, another route you can take is to go for the windshield-friendly accessory instead. In the case of the Exshow Car Mount holder you get a great solution that works with most smartphone models.
Despite the pretty low-tech initial impression, the Exshow Car Mount actually turns out to be perfect for anyone who wants a viewing angle that’s higher up, thanks to that windshield mount design. The suction pad works fine while the precise positioning of your phone can be done thanks to a 360-degree flexible cable.
One slight trade-off with the wide range of positioning options that come with the Exshow Car Mount is that the accessory can tend to throw a little bit of wobble into proceedings. However, if you spend a little time getting the positioning right this doesn't really detract from the overall appeal. Larger handsets up to six inches tend to fare better than slightly lighter models with less overall weight.
With its 30cm arm you’re able to move the viewing angle into many different positions and orientations, which makes the Exshow Car Mount mighty handy for taller or shorter drivers due to its generous reach. The quick-release feature is a real boon too.

We've gathered up a list of some excellent options for universal car mounts, and trust us, there's no shortage of choices out there for every taste and budget!
A 21st century car mobile holder that actually works, designed by Marc Nelson, leading industrial designer, CES Innovation Award winner for best car accessories category.
This flexible mount adheres to your windshield or dashboard so you can position it perfectly while in use and bend out of the way when you don't need it.
Nite Ize's Orbiter uses a flat metal plate to the back phone that attracts to a pivoting concave socket magnetically secured to the dashboard ball mount.
This is not one, not two, but here we are reviewing three types of mounts fromZaap. Each of them is used to hold your smartphone in a car and, all of them are a solution to keep your eyes not far away from the road ahead of you. Especially, when it gets vital for you to follow the route through maps. After all, it's not a good idea to hold your phone in the hand while driving, isn’t it?
So, Zaap has designed different types of mounts for different kinds of needs. This varies from a dashboard mount, to a windshield one or one that plugs into an AC vent. Then, these are paired with suction mounts to magnetic ones. Well, Zaap has each one according to one's need. We will look at three units here - theQuick Touch One Pro,Magnetic Touch OneandMagnetic Touch Two.
What's in the box?
All the three boxes get the same design but are of different dimensions to accommodate the different sized mounts. Otherwise, apart from the main phone holder, all the boxes are packed with a user manual, warranty card, feedback form and Zaap's product catalogue. The magnetic holders, in addition, get two small metal plates and a transparent cover. Quality overall is consistent and feels like it is built-to-last unlike the cheap ones available locally.
How to install?
Let's begin with the magnetic holder type of arrangement as we had shown earlier in our review of the Zoook holder. It's easy to just place the metal plate between your phone cover or sticking one onto the back cover of the phone. This will get attracted to the magnet in the holder and hold on to the device. Zaap is additionally providing a transparent sticker to ensure there is no scratch on your phone. The Magnetic Touch One's clamp is stiffly sprung and tightly grips the AC vents like a snapping turtle's bite would. Just make sure, the car's vents are able to take weight of the phone and the magnetic car mount. Best is to mount it on the bottom vent for an ideal angle.
Now on to the suction type of holders. The Magnetic Touch Two works like the Touch one, but instead of a clamp gets a suction cup. In conventional suction type of holders, the mounting surface has to be absolutely flat. Even a slight curve or contour will prevent the suction cup from adhering tightly to the surface. But here, the suction cup gets a thick layer of sticky gel that seals the air gap, creating an integral fit.
Furthermore, the Quick Touch One Pro uses the same suction pad, but gets an arm that can be extended. This arm has a ball type end, which fits into the adjustable spring-type phone holder. Just push it in and tighten the screw at any angle one intends to. Before buying this product, you can check if your phone is compatible by just aligning your screen with the gauge on the box.
How does it work?
If you notice, all these products have 'Touch' common in their name. And as the name suggests, all of them provide an easy one touch mounting system. It doesn't require any professional help for installation. In fact, as seen above the process is effortless be it mounting the holder on a vent, windshield or the dashboard. All these mounts get a 360° rotation ball and adjustment knobs to provide vertical and horizontal viewing angles. The magnetic holders create a 6lb magnetic force, which is an intensive pull to provide a strong grip for the phone to not fall. It can still be released with one hand.
Meanwhile, it might not seem so, but the spring-type phone holder (Touch Pro) will also provide such an easy release process with just a push of a finger. Also, thanks to the sticky gel, the suction cup never came loose quickly or dislodged from the surface for all the time we used it. And its reusable, so once it attracts a lot of dust and you think the adhesive property is diminishing, just wash it with water and voila it’s as sticky as new.
How much does it cost?
The MRP of the Quick Touch One Pro is Rs 3,300, Magnetic Touch One is Rs 1,800 and the Magnetic Touch Two is Rs 2,000. Outrageous as they may seem, but good news is that these were introductory prices, and now with special discounts on Amazon and Flipkart these products are available for much cheaper. The quality of all three is top-notch as against local mounts. Plus, all are also covered under warranty and a friendly customer care that will address issues if any and replace the product for any manufacturer’s warranty.
But then which one should you buy? For that, you will have to take your car into consideration. If your vehicle has large or many AC vents, which can allow the passage of air even if after the mount blocking some part of it, go for the Magnetic Touch One. If not, you can consider the Touch Two which can be mounted anywhere on the dashboard or windshield. And if you don't like the magnetic mount, there's the Touch One Pro which uses the conventional holding type mechanism, yet with the ease of releasing it with one hand. Alternatively, you can have a look at the Easy Mount One and Quick Touch Three mounts on Zaap's official website. Well, that's quite a lot of variety to choose from!

How to install?
Let's begin with the magnetic holder type of arrangement as we had shown earlier in our review of the Zoook holder. It's easy to just place the metal plate between your phone cover or sticking one onto the back cover of the phone. This will get attracted to the magnet in the holder and hold on to the device. Zaap is additionally providing a transparent sticker to ensure there is no scratch on your phone. The Magnetic Touch One's clamp is stiffly sprung and tightly grips the AC vents like a snapping turtle's bite would. Just make sure, the car's vents are able to take weight of the phone and the magnetic car mount. Best is to mount it on the bottom vent for an ideal angle.
Now on to the suction type of holders. The Magnetic Touch Two works like the Touch one, but instead of a clamp gets a suction cup. In conventional suction type of holders, the mounting surface has to be absolutely flat. Even a slight curve or contour will prevent the suction cup from adhering tightly to the surface. But here, the suction cup gets a thick layer of sticky gel that seals the air gap, creating an integral fit.
Furthermore, the Quick Touch One Pro uses the same suction pad, but gets an arm that can be extended. This arm has a ball type end, which fits into the adjustable spring-type phone holder. Just push it in and tighten the screw at any angle one intends to. Before buying this product, you can check if your phone is compatible by just aligning your screen with the gauge on the box.
How does it work?
If you notice, all these products have 'Touch' common in their name. And as the name suggests, all of them provide an easy one touch mounting system. It doesn't require any professional help for installation. In fact, as seen above the process is effortless be it mounting the holder on a vent, windshield or the dashboard. All these mounts get a 360° rotation ball and adjustment knobs to provide vertical and horizontal viewing angles. The magnetic holders create a 6lb magnetic force, which is an intensive pull to provide a strong grip for the phone to not fall. It can still be released with one hand.
Meanwhile, it might not seem so, but the spring-type phone holder (Touch Pro) will also provide such an easy release process with just a push of a finger. Also, thanks to the sticky gel, the suction cup never came loose quickly or dislodged from the surface for all the time we used it. And its reusable, so once it attracts a lot of dust and you think the adhesive property is diminishing, just wash it with water and voila it’s as sticky as new.
How much does it cost?
The MRP of the Quick Touch One Pro is Rs 3,300, Magnetic Touch One is Rs 1,800 and the Magnetic Touch Two is Rs 2,000. Outrageous as they may seem, but good news is that these were introductory prices, and now with special discounts on Amazon and Flipkart these products are available for much cheaper. The quality of all three is top-notch as against local mounts. Plus, all are also covered under warranty and a friendly customer care that will address issues if any and replace the product for any manufacturer’s warranty.
But then which one should you buy? For that, you will have to take your car into consideration. If your vehicle has large or many AC vents, which can allow the passage of air even if after the mount blocking some part of it, go for the Magnetic Touch One. If not, you can consider the Touch Two which can be mounted anywhere on the dashboard or windshield. And if you don't like the magnetic mount, there's the Touch One Pro which uses the conventional holding type mechanism, yet with the ease of releasing it with one hand. Alternatively, you can have a look at the Easy Mount One and Quick Touch Three mounts on Zaap's official website. Well, that's quite a lot of variety to choose from!

360 degree rotation
Two times the extra pull force of conventional magnetic holders

Although it’s a good practice to pull over when texting or calling, most people do not. Attempting to pick up an important call with your hand can result in an accident. To remedy this, a driver should invest in a cell phone car mount that will allow him or her to use the phone hands-free.
With hundreds of options to choose from, picking the right mount that matches with your device can be tricky. But my article shows you the correct path to choose the best for you.
With car mounts you’ll feel perfect when you’re on the road and need to see your phone’s GPS, control your music, or keep up with the messages and calls coming your way. There are a ton of car mounts and docks out there for the smartphones that may suit your need, but not all of them are as effective or reliable as you’d accept.
That’s why I’ve singled out the best Smartphone car mounts currently on market. So, if you’re looking to try them then you must be familiar that where you want to mount your phone because it comes in various categories which are summarized below:
1.Universal Windshield Mounting :The mount should keep your phone at eye level. If you prefer windshield-mounting, be sure it does not block your forward visibility. In some states, the local law enforcement agencies do not allow drivers to place a phone mount on the windscreen. But don't worry if you bought that car mount, you can use that car mount on your car dashboard/desktop.
2.Dashboard Mounting : Suction-cup and/or adhesive mounts with cradles are almost certainly seen in car mounts that hold your phone in place. My advice: steer clear of the windshield variety, as those suction cups usually don't stay put forever -- and the last thing you want is for your phone to crash onto the dash when you make a sharp turn or hit a bump.So, preferable is go with Desktop mounting.
3. Air vent Mounting :The air vent mount kit allows you to keep your windshield clear, by securely mounting your device to your vehicle's air vent. Your device is within arm's reach and can be removed easily without causing any damage.
Note: Before you consider a windshield mount for your phone, you should make and check that windshield mounts are allowed in the states you'll be driving most frequently in. As it stands, most states outlaw windshield mounted GPS or phone holders due to visibility and safety concerns.
