Mobile phone mount – keep your phone in place

Mobile phones have become an important part of our lives. The small screens make everyday life easier and can also be helpful in traffic. But it is illegal and dangerous to use your mobile phone and hold it in your hand while driving.

Therefore, you may need a phone mount that keeps the phone in place and frees up your hands. We will now take a closer look at what you should consider when buying a phone mount for your mobile phone.

Choose a phone mount according to the surface to which it will be attached

There are different types of phone mounts to choose from.

Air vent mobile phone mount

One of the phone mounts available attaches to the car’s air vent. This variant is popular as it is very easy to install. The phone mount’s clips are inserted into the air vent and keep your phone in place. These are often quite small in size and relatively cheap.

Mobile phone mount with suction cup

Another popular phone mount is a model with a suction cup. These can often be attached to the car windscreen as well as to some other surfaces in the car. They offer a little more flexibility in terms of placement than some other phone mounts. They stay in place with the help of the suction pressure and do not damage the surface to which they are attached.

Adhesive mobile phone mount

Another variant is the adhesive mobile phone mount, which has a sticky attachment surface. It may have an advantage over suction cup models on curved surfaces. On the other hand, it may leave behind some glue on the surface when removed from the car.

How to choose the right mobile phone mount

When comparing different phone mounts, there are several factors to consider. The phone mount you choose should be the right size for your phone. There are many universal mobile phone mounts that fit most phones. However, you should check that the phone mount size matches your smartphone. A mount that is too small won’t fit, and a mount that is too big won’t hold your phone in place.

Your phone mount should also have a suitable weight to be able to stay in place over time. And if you choose an adhesive model, you should be aware that the glue can be a bit difficult to remove afterwards.
