The 10 Best Phone Holders For Cars
Special Honors
Zilu Mounts Whether your preferred holder style is of the dashboard, windshield or air vent variety, Zilu offers a model that will suit your needs. While some mounts grip the phone with sturdy clips and others utilize strong magnets, all of them are vibration-resistant and can be adjusted at various angles. zilutech.com
Pearl Magnetic A stout, carbon steel gimbal serves as the anchor point for this stylish model, providing a firm base on which you can rotate and tilt your device to your desired viewing angle. It’s compact and lightweight, so you won’t need to fumble around with a cumbersome cradle. crutchfield.com

Editor's Notes
October 28, 2019:
This list required a rather extensive overhaul, as we discovered several items that were unavailable or raised red flags in terms of durability and quality concerns. The Auto Tech Luxury and Soaiy 3-in-1 both had a tendency to cause damage to the vehicle, while some other models featured very unreliable adhesive that could potentially lead to broken phones.
We noticed that a new version of the iOttie iTap is now available, so we updated the list to reflect that. This is a solid model for small to mid-sized devices, but when used with a large, heavy phone, its stability begins to decrease a bit.
If you’re looking for something that can be set up just about anywhere in your car, the Andobil Hands-Free is a dependable choice. It’s built like a tank, and users seem to appreciate that it can be attached to a vent, windshield or dashboard. The Lamicall Stand is a solid affordable option that offers a secure hold and two color patterns to choose from.
