The 4 Best Car Phone Mounts I’ve Tried (2026): Belkin, Andery, Andobil

The 4 Best Car Phone Mounts I’ve Tried (2026): Belkin, Andery, Andobil">

A car phone mount is no longer an option—it's a necessity. Nearly every US state restricts cell phone use while driving (we see you, Montana!), and most require full hands-free operation. The best car phone mounts offer an easy view of your phone's screen without blocking your view of the road, hold your phone securely, and keep vibration to a minimum.

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.

Here are the best car phone mounts for each car and phone type. See also WIRED's guides to the Best USB Car Chargers , Best Portable Jump Starters , Best iPhone Cases and Accessories, Best MagSafe Accessories , and Best Wireless Phone Chargers.

The world is full of bulky phone mounts that block your view of the road, inflexible phone mounts that only allow for horizontal or vertical mounting, weak suction cups, and kinda mid MagSafe attachments. And then there's this innovatively designed, wonderfully compact dash and window mount from Andery.
