What to Look for in a Car Phone Holder

Multiple mounts

Some car phone holders come with a single cradle and more than one mount. If you have more than one vehicle, this allows you to install one mount in each vehicle, and just take the cradle portion of the holder with you. Look for one that includes a variety of mounts, including vent, dash, and windshield, if you think this would be a useful feature.

Magnets

There are a lot of ways to secure a phone to a mount, but the most convenient makes use of very strong magnets. This allows you to easily snap your phone in place, and remove it without messing around with springs, clasps, or other retaining mechanisms.

Power

In addition to dash- and window-mounted phone holders, some are actually built right into power banks. This type of phone holder is mounted on a 12V plug that you insert into a cigarette lighter socket, so you can also use it to charge your phone and other mobile devices.
