I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a car cell phone mount. So many options- I have never had one and don’t really even know what to consider.
TIA

I love DD's and used it for a 1500 mile drive where the phone was my GPS and entertainment system. Super easy to get the phone in and out. iOttie Easy One Touch She bought a new one for her new car and I bought one for DH's car. |

This is the one we have. The magnet is strong and holds the phone in place. It mounts on our air vent which I like because it's at a height and distance that works for my crummy vision.

I've tried various types from those that stick in the vent or attach to the dash but none of them lasted for very long. I got one that sits in the coffee cup holder and that one has been working really well. The only thing I don't like is that it takes up one of the coffee cup holder spots.

I have this one made by PopSockets. It's been mounted in my car for a little over a year and I've had no issues with it. I've tried magnetic ones and they didn't work for me. Maybe it's because I have an Otterbox case with the built in PopSocket. My cup holders always have stuff in them, so those kind doesn't work for me either. |

I have one from Carmount. Carmount Bought because of an Instagram ad which I never do, but I love it. It holds my phone so well and takes up very little space. |

I have a strap on the back of my phone. I ordered at least half dozen mounts through Amazon trying to find one that would work. Because of the strap not a single one that you “snapped” your phone into worked; my phone was too thick for all of them. I had to go with a magnet mounted one.
Just a head’s up in case you have something like that.

I have this one too. It's so easy to attach and detach. I don't know if it would bother you to attach a magnet to your phone or phone case. I've used all different types of holders and I've like this one the best. |

I have a magnetic wireless charger that mounts on the vent. I really like that I don't have to plug the phone in, the charger is already plugged in for me.

I have a magnetic one but have a hard time with it. I used to have a loopy case and had to put the magnet on the back of the case (ugly). Now I have a different type of grip that is also supposed to be magnetic but of course they don’t work together. I try to put a different magnet in the middle of them but it doesn’t always hold. I’m hoping to get a loopy case again but wish they would come out with a car mount that works well with it.

I really have to get one of these for DH! Father's Day is coming up, so that's a great idea for him. His phone is usually just loose and stuck into the little compartment on the dash. The wire gets in the way of the cupholder. So annoying. Thanks for the ideas!
