Product Information

Has anyone found a satisfactory solution to mounting a mobile phone in the car. To be honest this problem baffles me. We've had mobile phones in regular use for the last 20 years and smartphones for the last 6 or so, and still the car manufacturers can't seem to come up with a satisfactory arrangement to mount a phone in the car. A final option to explore is a bespoke mount. Swedish firm Brodit make custom mounting units for each model of car to create a permanent mount for your phone. Attaching your phone to the mount The law regarding the use of mobile phones when driving in the UK has been in place for many years now and this includes using your phone to text or call without using handsfree as well as taking photos or videos and browsing the internet. Therefore, apart from calling 999 or 112, you can’t hold your phone whatsoever when driving. As well as our testing and experience using a variety of car phone holders, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and several factors. Some of the factors that we considered included the holder’s build quality, ease of setup, stability, compatibility, aesthetics, adjustability, additional features, warranty and value for money. Conclusion

The ball joint on the vent mount gives you a wider range of tilt and swivel, so you can keep the phone in view, and – with a little practice – you can insert and remove it single-handed, with the arms releasing as you pull the phone vertically out of its cradle. It can only hold the phone in portrait mode, but it’s one affordable, sturdy mount. Where you put your car phone holder depends very much on the type you’re using. There are three main car attachment types and two phone attachment types to choose between. Here's a comparison of them, which should help with such questions as: are magnetic car phone holders good? Where is the best place to put the phone holder on a car windscreen?

One of the most popular options is a clip that attaches to your air-conditioning vent. These are ideal for lighter smartphones, but the grip might not be firm enough to hold heavier devices and it also obstructs the airflow. Once it’s there, it’s going to stay there, no matter how bumpy the road gets – something that can’t always be said of some of the clamp-style holders. There’s also no maximum phone size to worry about – it will handle devices of up to 650g – and the joint means it works at a decent range of angles. As long as you’re happy with the metal plate on your phone or in its case, this is the best windscreen mount to go for. There’s every chance you’ve been in at least one minicab where part of the windscreen is covered by a wall of phones. That’s not an example to follow. Press the thin end of the enclosed gap opener into the gap between the control panel and the surrounding frame, to widen the gap. Peel off the adhesive tape covers on the ProClip. Press the curved edge on the right part of the ProClip into the gap above the gap opener. Flip the ProClip leftwards so the curved right edge hooks behind the control panel. Pull out the gap opener. Press the gap opener into the gap between the center console and the dashboard.

We choose the most popular car phone holders sold at UK retailers and test each in different cars and with iPhone and Samsung devices. We buy all the products we test. Each car phone holder is rated on the following: Certain phone mounts have clips or arms that hold the phone securely: you simply slide the device into place when you get into the car and remove it when you leave. Stability We take each in-car phone holder out on a bumpy driving test to see how stable it remains and whether the angle or position of the phone changes significantly. Grip We manually shake all the car phone holders to see how well they grip a mobile and whether it detaches. Adjustability We test how easy or fiddly it is to adjust the car phone holders to a comfortable position to view your mobile.All of our recommendations within our roundup include all the popular types and we’ve tested several over the years to base our recommendations on. We personally prefer the air vent type of car phone holder but it’s a matter of personal preference to which holder you wish to use in your car.
