The best smartphone mounts for the car

In this practical tip, we will introduce you to the three best smartphone mounts for your car.

1. Smartphone holder: Wicked Chili car holder

The Wicked car holder is attached to the windshield using a suction cup. The smartphone is "clamped" in a rubberized plastic shell, which has adjustable gripping arms. So almost every smartphone (of similar size) fits into the respective holder. Thanks to the ball joint, the holder can easily be turned 90 degrees.
This mounting variant is certainly the most stable, but the field of vision may be impaired.
The holder is available for different smartphone models. For example for the Galaxy S4, S5 and the mini versions, iPhone 5 and 6 and especially for the new iPhone 6 Plus.
With a price of around 15 to 20 euros, the holders from Wicked are relatively cheap.

The "Kenu Airframe" bracket is not attached to the windshield but to the ventilation slot of your car. To ensure that the Airframe fits every ventilation slot, it is equipped with flexible rubber grippers that are pressed into the ventilation grille. One side arm of the bracket is equipped with a spring balancer that can be infinitely adjusted to any size. The bracket can be easily rotated 360 degrees.
The bracket itself sits very firmly in the ventilation grille. Nothing wobbles while driving. Only the ventilation grille itself could be affected if you install and remove the Airframe more often.
The Airframe is available for all smartphone models up to 12.7 cm screen diagonal for around 24 euros. For larger models up to 15.2 cm there is the Airframe Plus for around 26 euros.

The bracket is attached to the CD slot in your car. To do this, the thin plastic end is simply inserted into the slot. Although the bracket gives a rather shaky impression, nothing moves while driving.
The clips can be adjusted to a width of 9 centimeters, so that even larger smartphones can easily be accommodated. In principle, they are similar to those of the Wicked Chili holder.
The bracket can also be rotated 360 degrees here.
At around 24 euros, the Grooveclip also belongs to the higher-end price bracket of the car.
