10 Best IPOW Car Phone Mounts
for October 2023

This car phone mount is our best pick because of its strong suction, long arm, and easy-to-use clamp. The suction cup is sticky enough to hold our iPhone 6 Plus securely without causing any damage to our windshield or glass. The suction cup isn't quite as sticky as the suction on our top pick, the Goro, but it's good enough to hold our phone firmly. The clamp fits phones up to 3.5 inches wide, which is wide enough to accommodate most phones in thick or irregular protective cases. The clamp also grips phones firmly and securely, and the four claws of the clamp grip the phone firmly like the hands of a person holding the phone. The clamp also has a strong spring, so even if the phone is gripped firmly, the phone won't fall out from the clamp. The clamp is long enough to accommodate most phones without requiring a long arm, and it's strong enough to hold the phones securely without causing any damage to our windshield or glass. The clamp also folds up easily for storage. The only drawback of this car phone mount is the clamp isn't as adjustable as the clamp on our top pick, the Goro, but it's good enough.

Our top pick for a phone mount, the IPOW Upgraded X-Shaped Double Clamp Universal Long Shockproof Arm Phone Car Mount Windshield/Dash With Strong Suction Cup,Cell Phone Holder Compatible With iPhone 8 8 Plus X 7 7 Plus 6Galaxy S9 S8 (IPOW ESP8), is as versatile as its name. It sticks to cars, windows, and dashboards, and it supports a wide range of phones, including those with overlays. The strong vacuum suction cup ensures its hold, and the X-Shaped Double Clamp is easy to remove. The arm is 7.6 inches long, and it supports phones up to 3.54 inches thick, so it's perfect for larger phones. The clamp extends from 2.74 to 4.87 inches, and it holds phones forward-facing and landscape positions. The clamp also holds phones in portrait orientation, but the phone won't fit as snugly. Still, it's better than most phone mounts, and it's one of few that can hold phones in landscape orientation. The holder also does a good job of shielding your phone from scratches.

The IPOW CD Phone Mount Holder is a worthy upgrade from our top pick, the Spearhead CD Slot Phone Mount. The IPOW holder is bigger, sturdier, and easier to use than the Spearhead model, and it stands out for its CD slot compatibility, one-button installation, strong grip, and all-around protection. It's slightly bulkier, but that's its only drawback; it's plenty big enough to accommodate most phones, and its grip is strong enough to hold even the heaviest phones, both with and without a case. Our biggest complaint with the Spearhead holder was that it required us to use screws to secure the holder to the CD slot, which made installation awkward and encouraged me to leave the phone in the holder. The IPOW holder's one-button installation eliminates the need for screws, and its firm grip is strong enough that I never worried about dropping my phone. The holder's shock-absorbent pads are also a big improvement over the Spearhead holder's. The IPOW holder's pads are thicker and softer, so they're better at dampening your phone's vibrations and protecting it from scratches. The IPOW holder's one-button installation is intuitive and easy to use. The IPOW holder is roughly $15 more expensive than the Spearhead model, but it's worth it.

The IPOW Truck Phone Mount's sturdy clip, suction cup, and dashboard base combine to make one of the best car mounts we tested. It's sturdy enough to hold even the heaviest phones (iPhone X Max weighs nearly two pounds), and its wide, flat base allows it to rest securely on most dashboard surfaces, including bumpy roads. Its clamp and suction cup are strong enough to hold the mount in place even on bumpy roads, and its dashboard base has an extra sponge layer for added stability. The clamp and suction cup can also be rotated 360 degrees, allowing you to adjust the mount to the perfect angle. The mount's long, 11-inch arm makes it easy to reach your phone's controls without running your hand along the dashboard. After using the IPOW Truck Mount, it's hard to imagine using another phone mount.

The IPOW One Button Installation CD Slot Phone Holder is one of the simplest mounting solutions we've seen. It's essentially a CD slot mount with a clamp, so it Attaches to your phone's CD slot, and once you lock it down, it secures your phone in place. The mount's clamp is sturdy, so your phone will not fall out, and it's flexible enough to fit a wide range of phones. The mount comes with six additional rubber pads of different thickness, so you can adjust the clamp to fit your phone's CD slot. The mount itself doesn't have any resistance buttons, though, so if you want to switch songs or adjust the volume, you'll need to remove your mount from your car. The mount comes with two ball joints, so you can adjust it to achieve multiple viewing angles of your phone's screen. The mount's back is made of metal, so it's well-constructed and won't easily bend.

The IPOW magnetic car phone holder is hands-down the best car mount we reviewed over the past year. Its strong magnetic force holds phones securely, without requiring any moving parts or switches. The magnetic head pad prevents scratches on your phone or phone case, and the premium materials (including ABS and PC) make it fairly durable. The pad does have a soft texture, so it won't hurt your phone's screen, and the magnetic head can easily be removed for cleaning or replacement. The IPOW magnetic car phone holder mounts easily to your car's windshield or any metal surface, and it rotates smoothly and evenly, so your phone will stay precisely where you put it. The IPOW magnetic car phone holder also sports a small LED indicator light to let you know when the phone is securely attached. The mount tilts down 180 degrees and swivels around 360 degrees, and the phone can be positioned in landscape or portrait mode. The IPOW magnetic car phone holder is compatible with all smartphones and most tablet devices (not tablets with cases), and it folds up neatly and compactly for travel. This mount is $33.99 and available from IPOW.

The IPOW Anti-Slip Silicone Car Phone Dashboard Pad Mat is hands-down the best dashboard phone holder we tested. It held our iPhone X securely, the silicone grip was firm but comfortable, and it was simple to set up and adjust. The IPOW is engineered with “sticky gel footprints” that grip onto surfaces better than other dashboard phone holders we tested. Its strong grip also prevented our iPhone X from slipping around and falling off. The IPOW's design is intuitive and simple to use. The mount is adjustable, so you don't even have to remove your phone from the holder to adjust the angle. The IPOW also held our Galaxy S8 with no problem. While other dashboard phone holders we tested only held our Galaxy S8 at a single angle, the IPOW's C-clips let you adjust the angle and position the phone to your eye level. The IPOW is easy to install and adjust, holds a variety of phones securely, and is well designed. The only negative is that the IPOW is more expensive than the two other dashboard phone holders we tested.

The IPOW Long Arm Universal Magnetic Cradle is a great car mount. It can easily be installed in any car, and it fits most phones. The cradle is flexible and strong, and the arm is strong enough to hold even large phones, such as Samsung's Galaxy Note 9. The cradle has magnetic plates that fit snugly around your phone, and the plates are held in place by strong magnets. The arms extend out more than 10.5 inches from the cradle, so you can easily film or video from a car dashboard while driving. The magnetic plates are removable, and they provide plenty of surface area for gripping your phone. The cradle also has two suction cups, which hold it firmly in place on your car dashboard. The cradle is 7.6 inches long and 0.46 inches thick, and it's 0.68 inches thick at the head. The cradle is lightweight, so it won't weigh down your car. The cradle has strong suction, so it won't fall off your dashboard. The suction cups are also long, so they won't cover your dashboard or obstruct your view. The cradle comes with a protective case, so you can safely store your phone in the car.

The VICSEED Ultra Stable Car Phone Holder Mount is the first phone holder mount we've tested that can hold a phone in both portrait and landscape view. The clamp arms can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing the phone to be mounted in portrait or landscape view, and in portrait view, the clamp arms can be opened and then closed, so your phone can be rotated 180 degrees. The clamp arms also have a soft silicone pad for your phone, so no matter how you place the phone, it will securely stay in place. This is particularly good for Android phones, since the clamp arms are thinner and more flexible than iPhone holders, so there are fewer limitations on how the phone can be mounted. The clamp arms also have a No Tools Needed Simple Installation, and One-Handed Operation Save Time. The clamps are flexible, making it much easier to mount a phone on a door or dashboard, and you can hold the clamp with one hand and snap the phone into place with the other. The cell phone holder for car is also extremely secure and stable, and the phone will not fall or fall off of the mount even if you hit a bump, and it provides a secure grip on your phone, so the phone won't fall out of the mount while it's driving. The clamp arms also have a thick soft silicone pad, so even on some rough roads, your phone will not fall off or scratch.
