Did you know that the number one cause for traffic accidents is distractions? Phones are helpful and important devices, but they are also incredible distractions while you are driving and should be paying attention to the road. Phone holders are the best way to have hands-free use, safely.

Phone holders are designed to keep your phone safe and secure, but they also improve visibility and make it easier for you to read directions, choose music, and reply to messages. Phone holders are the superior way to ensure that all your trips are safe and that you’re entirely free of distraction while on the road. They’re especially great for Lyft and Uber drivers or anyone that regularly uses GPS to get from place to place. But how do you choose the best phone holder with so many options on the market? We’ve put together this list of our favorite phone holders, the ones that made our lives easier and kept us safe.

Read on to see why our experts loved these phone holders for our cars!

Should I Go With Clamps, Magnets, Air Vent, Suction, Windshield, Dash, Etc?

Phone holders are not made equal—there are many different options out there, which improves your safety and comfortability on the road. Clamps hold your phone in place, but magnets make it easier to place/remove your phone. Suction cups allow you to place a phone holder anywhere on your windshield, but air vent phone holders are more accessible and easier to use. Decide which phone holder works the best for your car before you buy!

Smartphones and GPS devices come in all shapes and sizes, so the best way to ensure that the phone holder is right for you is to make sure you buy one that fits the size and shape of your device. Check compatibility by reading through the features of each phone holder to see if it fits your device.
