Dashboard Mobile Phone Holders & Mounts

Maximise the Features on your Mobile with a Dashboard Phone Holder

To safely use the GPS on your mobile while you drive, use a dashboard phone holder. Keeping information at eye level, and even providing timely facts on your car's performance, the options on eBay will help you enjoy your favourite music and take phone calls on the road.

Yes. Visibility is good, even on bumpy roads. The mobile will not be jolted since you can attach or remove it smoothly, and most dashboard phone holders come with a telescopic arm so you can adjust the device for your comfort.

Some dashboard holders that are available on eBay use a suction cup, but these do not suit all vehicles as wavy dashboards prevent the cup from sticking properly. Designed to be adjustable, a suction cup will have a long arm of about 12 inches and an easy-release mechanism as standard. Other dashboard phone holder models may use a magnetic system to grip your phone. Your phone does not contain any components that could be damaged by the small magnets in this type of holder, but this type is not recommended for other devices that contain a hard drive since it might cause damage. Typically strong enough to withstand potholes and sharp corners, magnetic models are suitable for cold environments where suction won't work. A magnetic dashboard holder also makes it easier to replace or remove your phone than a suction-type dashboard holder. Other things to consider are:

• Both suction and magnetic dashboard holders are available with 360-degree rotation, allowing you to view your phone in landscape or portrait mode.
• Most dashboard holders are compatible with any phone you own, so size does not matter.
• If you use an app on your phone that shows your heading from a compass, it may be affected by a magnetic holder.
• If you are using a magnetic dashboard holder, it is more convenient to attach the magnetic strip to the phone's case.

It depends on the design. A dashboard phone holder may be designed to provide access to the charging port. Some cradle your phone on all sides to keep it secure, but only those that grip it at two sides let you charge your device while you are driving.
