Why is this a good deal? 💰

Getting a new car with a fancy screen to guide you would be amazing, right? But it’s not all that practical when you have a perfectly nice car already parked in the driveway. This mount lets you hang on to your car a little longer while giving you the guidance you need on the road. And right now, not only is this mount 75% off, but it’s also the lowest price this has ever been.

Why do I need this? 🧐

This phone mount may help you avoid a distracted driving ticket, and it makes it easier for you to keep your eyes on the road. It works with basically all smartphones and rotates 360 degrees to help you find the optimum viewing angle. There’s also a quick release and lock so you can easily pop out your phone when you hop out of the car.

The most impressive part is just how stable this mount is. It uses anti-slip rubber pads, a support shelf and a scratch-free claw to keep your phone in place. You can adjust how far the phone is from you through a slider. If something goes wrong, the mount comes with a 24-month worry-free warranty.

What reviewers say 💬

Nearly 10,000 shoppers rave about this mount.

Pros 👍

“Versatile and easy to install. Sturdy and sticks well to the dash,” said one impressed reviewer who has an iPhone 15 Pro Max with case. “The side supports are not curved toward the front so that big phones and phones with protective cases can fit, but this means that you need to squeeze the sides hard when inserting the phone so it won’t fall out. If you do this, it works great!”

Another happy user said it was a great way to update an old car. “I have an older vehicle that does not have the ability to show navigation or texts on the screen. This car phone holder is perfect! It is adjustable to fit any phone and offers various ways to attach (permanently or temporarily) to the dash/air vents. Great value and does exactly what it should.”

Another five-star fan wrote, “My daughter mounted the device on my dashboard and it works like a dream. I am an older woman who gets lost easily if I need to take an unfamiliar route. Being able to use the maps and directions from my phone and have my hands free to drive is a lifesaver.”

Cons 👎

Some shoppers say it could use a couple of improvements. “The only thing I wish the arm extended a little longer and was able to lock in place once at my desired length position,” shared one shopper. “But other than that, it’s fantastic!”

Another shopper wrote: “The only con I have is, it rocks slightly when I drive. This is most likely due to the adhesive being on a curved surface.”
