It provides practical consumer advice for vehicle safety and accessory utility in an era of heavy smartphone reliance while driving.
I've spent weeks and hundreds of miles testing car phone holders for iPhones and Android alike, on busy freeways and on potholed city roads. What I found is that the best car phone mounts aren't necessarily expensive or name brands: They're just smartly designed.
The best car phone mount for an iPhone is almost always a secure MagSafe mount. The one I keep in my car when I'm not testing other mounts is a sturdy, compact Andery suction mount ($36) that holds preternaturally fast to both my phone and dash but can also be mounted to a window. My favorite mechanical car phone holder for Android phones is a sturdy, versatile, ball-joint mount from Andobil ($30) that affixes tightly to a car's dash, windshield, or air vents.
