Shop the top picks for car phone holders
Clips and magnets are a few ways to keep your phone stable.
Car mount phone holders are one way to cut down on distractions when driving.
The impulse to text or talk while driving has provided a new danger to the roads, proliferating over the last several decades. Smartphones offer the ability to talk, text, and scroll at all times, often resulting in distracted driving.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that according to their data, 621 "non-occupants" were killed in "distraction-affected" accidents in 2022.
Luckily, phone holders, commonly seen attached to the vents of a car’s air conditioning output or on dashboards, allow for drivers to take in the information that is absolutely necessary, while helping to eliminate the need for drivers to take their eyes off the road while using them.
These tools can be used to display GPS directions and allow for easier access to speakerphone on phone calls.
Many of the magnetic holding options come with a full 360-degree mount to make sure the mount and the phone stay completely clear of the driver’s field of vision while safely operating their car. This is seen in the flexibility of the Coolpow option seen below.
The holders generally function in one of two ways, a magnetic hold on the dashboard or a clip, holding the phone on either side. The Miracase option displayed below exemplifies the sturdy construction of the clip design.See some of the top-rated options for car phone holders here:
