The products on this list are based on extensive research and real customer reviews. For each category, we carefully selected parameters based on our research and identified the products with the highest review score within those parameters.
Though you'll be paying a bit more than usual for it, the iOttie Easy One Touch Car Mount comes highly recommended with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating (after 1.7K Amazon reviews). Easy to set-up and use, this charging solution comes with a dual charger, phone mount and both a CD slot attachment along with an air vent clip attachment.
Why should you pay extra for this? Cheaper options have inferior charging capabilities and constant exposure to UV rays typically weakens the various attachment mechanisms they employ. The iOttie is designed to power you up lightning fast and is one of the sturdiest phone holders available.
If you're not that frequent a driver or you're just after a bargain, set your sights on this AU Select Car Phone Holder that boasts a 4.4 out of 5 star rating (after 74 Amazon reviews). 360-degree adjustable and packing five N35 neodymium magnets, this unit easily installs on most air vents via a spring clip.
Better yet, it supports a wide array of handsets, providing they're within the 3-7 inch range. For a rough guide that includes iPhones from the 11 Pro down to the 6S Plus. Samsung Galaxy users from the Note 10 down to the S8 should be fine too.
If you're after a holder that's secure but doesn't grip your handset like a vice, this Universal Magnetic Dashboard Mount Kit by Wuteku comes highly recommended with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating (after 7K Amazon reviews). Reportedly compatible with "all smartphones", this fixed magnetic solution still allows you to tilt and rotate your handset with a decent 720° of freedom.
Other benefits include a durable, stainless steel build quality, and the design potentially allows the possibility of using this with small tablets in non-automobile environments.
If your windshield is the preferred (or only) anchor point, this IPOW Long Arm Universal Magnetic Cradle is worth a look due to a 4.4 out of 5 star rating (after 3.9K Amazon reviews). Comprised of a suction cup system along with heat-resistant adhesive gel, the IPOW has been designed to not vibrate, even in the bumpiest of road conditions.
Furthermore, the magnet holding system here has been built to securely cradle larger sized handset types, even if they're also encased in a case. Last but not least, finding the perfect viewing angle is a cinch, thanks to a lengthy, adjustable arm.
If you're after the (arguably) most secure type of phone holder there is, best check out this Belkin Car Vent Mount as it comes with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating (after 1.9K Amazon reviews). Clipping one of these onto your AC vents with the adjustable bracket is a cinch, but it's worth noting the size cut-off is 5.5-inch smartphones.
Other benefits include the ability to rotate this into portrait or landscape mode. Along with optimising the viewing angle for your passengers, this design allows you to position your charge cable in the perfect spot.
Apple users after a reasonably priced iPhone-centric option should look into UGREEN's Car Air Vent Phone Holder as it comes with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating (after 374 Amazon reviews). Employing a unique tri-arm design, this cradle hooks into the AC air vent in your car and gravity effectively secures it from there.
Manufactured with high-quality aluminum alloy arms and silicone pads, this phone mount works with the new iPhone 12 down through to the 6s. The only drawback: this design means your handset can only be mounted in portrait mode.
If your smartphone offers the modern convenience that is a cords-free experience, you should pair it with this ZeeHoo Wireless Car Charger which has a 4.4 out of 5 star rating (after 1.1K Amazon reviews). Securing your expensive handset is a breeze thanks to a clamp-style holder that also offers a quick release mechanism.
Even more impressive is the charging tech available here. You're getting a 15W maximum Fast Wireless Charger for the latest LG phones (e.g. the G7 ThinQ), a 10W max for Samsung's Note 10 (down through to the S6) and a 7.5W max for an iPhone 11 (down through to an iPhone 8).

Methodology
50+ Brands considered
200 Products compared
7 Best products chosen
Our editorial team compared car phone holders from brands found in major supermarkets across Australia as well as online retailers.
We examined hundreds of customer reviews and ratings as well as expert reviews.
The products on this list are chosen by our editorial team and are not selected based on commercial relationships.
For this guide, our editorial team compared phone holders listed on Amazon Australia. We split these into categories based on their price, and also searched for phone holders built by highly reputable manufacturers with the highest ratings.
For budget options, we considered products around or slightly below the $20 mark. For mid-range products we looked at products placed roughly in between that lower price point and $80.
The products that ended up making the cut were chosen based on their average customer rating and the number of reviews they had received. We looked for products with a minimum of 30 customer reviews and that were available from multiple Australian retailers. Where two products had the same or a similar average rating, we chose the product with the larger number of reviews.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved.
