phone holder - Anyone recommend one please?

Can anyone recommend a good phone holder please ?
It not for a landrover. I want one to clip into an air vent or glass suction cup.

To hold an iPhone 8 and 11
Ideally to have induction charger in the back.

Any thoughts please?

We have Brodit units with Apple magsafe USB chargers in our cars and they've been excellent.

Agree, Brodit are good but if you want use sat nave on the phone then they are positioned too low.

It's not often that I disagree with Moo, but I find this mount in my D4 to be high enough for sat nav:

I have this one

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08GY1VLDK?psc...798PKMHXFK

It is fine for wireless charging iPhone 11 and you press a button on the side to release the phone (sides open)

When you put the phone back, it’s auto senses and the sides close to tighten the phone in

Sadly you can't. Amazon have their search geared up to sell what they have, not what you want. And if there is a promotion (more in it for them) then it will appear several pages before the specific item you want in most instances!

Best bet with a specific brand item is to search for the item "Anker phone holder" then when you see *any* Anker product, click on that, then find the link "go to Anker store" then you can search with a bit more confidence you may get the right product.

Same goes for any other popular brand on there

I rate Spigen kit for quality - this may suit your needs?

Thank you. I'll take a good look at that. Pricey. But if I get one that someone recommends, hopefully I won't have to buy others to find a good one!

I fitted a Brodit extension piece to mine.This one I think...

Moves it up to clear the steering wheel. It wobbles a bit but not enough to compromise operation.

I've got a Mous case and associated in car phone holder. Magnetic holder works well and doesn't fall off. However, you can knock it off and i've been clumsy enough to knock it getting out of the car and it falls onto the floor. The case's selling point is it can be dropped from great heights and it protects the device, but that's probably not the point.

I'm going to go with Quad lock next. We use them on the bikes at work and they don't budge! You can get a wireless charger kit, anti vibration kit (which again works well when rattling along) and the phone can be rotated with ease for navigation.

There's loads of options for desks, windows, bikes, bicycles etc so once invested you could fit out your other modes of transport too.

Hope that helps
