What are you looking for in car cell phone holders?
Vent, dash or windshield accessory?
For the most part, there are two types of car phone mounts: mounts that attach to your air conditioner vent, and mounts that attach to your dashboard or windshield. If you have a standard air conditioning vent, there are many good options, but keep in mind that they won’t work with circular vents.
Dashboard and windshield mounts are more versatile. Some attach via a suction base, while others use adhesive. The latter tend to come with automotive-grade adhesive that shouldn’t harm your car, but they can’t move as easily, and the adhesive can break down over time. If you rent or trade cars frequently, you’ll want to skip these.
Spring or magnetic?
Most mounts use spring-loaded arms or magnetic bases to hold your phone in place. Both have their benefits. Magnetic mounts are faster; Spring-loaded mounts offer more versatility as you can easily switch between phones. Magnetic mounts also require you to attach a metal plate to the back of your phone or slide it between your phone and its case. If you’re using wireless charging, you’ll need to be careful about the placement of the plate: if the plate is on or near the charging coil, your phone won’t be able to charge.
wireless charging stands
Some models include Qi wireless charging. These mounts are powered by your vehicle’s DC port, so there’s no need to plug in your phone every time you get in the car. You can see the article where we exclusively show the best wireless chargers for cars

Size Matters
Many car phone mounts max out at a certain phone size, so before you buy one, make sure it’s compatible with the phone you want to use. If it’s a spring loaded mount, make sure it’s wide enough to hold your phone. For magnetic mounts, check the maximum weight (and take the weight of your case into account).
Best cell phone holders for cars
AINOPE car phone holder
AINOPE Gravity Phone Holder
The AINOPE Car Phone Mount ($22.99) is among our favorite air vent mounts. This inexpensive mount works in most standard car air vents and can easily accommodate phones with screens up to 6.7 inches wide, even if they’re in a thick case. Simply slide your phone into the mount and the clamps automatically slide into place, offering a perfect hold. When you’re ready to remove your phone, touch the button on the bottom of the mount and you’ll be able to lift it up without any hassle.
Aukey Car Phone Holder 360
The Aukey 360-Degree Rotation Car Phone Mount ($15.99) is one of the most affordable and stylish options on our list, with a refined aesthetic that doesn’t look cheap or tacky. It’s a magnetic mount that can be attached to your window or dashboard, and it has an innovative adjustable arm that rotates 360 degrees and moves up and down as well.
Beam Electronics Universal Car Air Vent Mount for Smartphone
Beam Electronics Universal Car Air Conditioning Vent Mount
The Beam Electronics Universal Smartphone Car Air Vent Mount ($15.99) features bottom mounts for support, along with arms that you press into place. There’s a 360-degree swivel kickstand, so you can shift your phone to any angle and position for easy viewing.

Belkin Premium Car Vent Mount
Belkin Premium Car Vent Mount
Belkin’s Premium Car Vent Mount ($29.95) clips onto your vehicle’s air conditioning vent and installs or moves in seconds. The mount rotates 180 degrees, so you can quickly switch from portrait to landscape mode when using GPS. However, if you’re a fan of big screens, be aware that this mount maxes out on phones that are 5.5-inches wide (and if your phone is in a case, be sure to account for that bulk).
iOttie Easy One Touch 2 Car Mount
iOttie Easy One Touch 2 Car Mount
iOttie’s Easy One Touch 2 Car Mount ($16.95) features a suction base with a thin layer of gel that should stick to just about any smooth or textured surface.

The iOttie iTap 2 Magnetic Dashboard Car Mount Holder ($29.95) is sleek and easy to use and won’t break the bank. Attaches to your dashboard or windshield with a powerful suction base. Since it uses magnets instead of a standard dock, you’ll need to attach a protective sticker and metal plate to your phone or case. It supports landscape and portrait modes, and the ball head rotates so you can easily adjust your phone to any viewing angle.
