Recommended searches

These searches focus on the mount types that matter (vent, dash, suction, MagSafe) plus the charging gear that makes mounts actually useful daily.

iOttie-style dash/windshield mounts (classic suction)

The most common ‘works in almost any car’ mount category.

  • Very common
  • Good adjustability
  • Works in many vehicles

Vent mounts (compact, easy)

Great if your vents can handle the weight.

  • Fast install
  • Small footprint
  • Check vent compatibility

MagSafe car mounts (best iPhone convenience)

Snap-on daily use—often with charging.

  • Fast attach/detach
  • Clean look
  • Charging versions are ideal

CD-slot mounts (stable in older cars)

Good stability if you don’t use the CD player.

  • Stable mount point
  • Great for older dashboards
  • Doesn’t block windshield

Cup holder mounts (no-vent/no-dash solution)

Good fallback when dash/vent mounts don’t work.

  • No adhesives
  • Great for rentals
  • Check fit for your cup holder size

Accessories: fast USB-C PD car chargers + cables

The upgrade that prevents ‘my phone won’t charge in the car’ problems.

  • PD charging matters
  • Get a durable cable
  • Avoid ultra-cheap chargers
