Smartphone holder?

JuanM · 07-10-2021, 08:10 PM

Can someone recommend a smartphone holder for a Samsung that attaches to the air vents? Prefer something that clamps instead of adhesives.

I'm currently using a Koomus CD-mount magnetic smartphone holder. Personal preference but I prefer using one that slides into the CD slot rather than the air vents. The magnet holds fairly well and I see very little noticeable vibration in the phone. Also holds the phone well in either vertical or horizontal configuration.

Problem with magnetic holders is usually a metal plate needs to be attached (either to the back of the phone or the back of the phone case) which will not allow for wireless charging.

So, type of holder may be dictated by whether or not you use wireless charging.

TY for the reply. I ended up going with the Scosche MagicMount Vent. I didn't need wireless charging.

Sweet! I've had that '66 GT fastback since 1989 (bought it cheap from a HS kid who inherited it but didn't want it anymore because it had no AC). Not the fastest thing around but it makes some nice noises.

Does the Koomus CD mount leave any marks? I am looking for a phone holder and would like to avoid messing up the vents, I have a Samsung s21 ultra so it's a pretty large phone and possibly heavy.

Been using these for years in different configurations for my Samsung phones.

Use the Proclip mount with the Slipgrip holder .

These mounts have been around a long time and are custom fit for the Z4 without hanging on the A/C vents. proclipusa

I have one from these folks too. Can't say enough good things about it. Although it doesn't look like they make the model I have anymore.

I got one from them for the Z after having gotten one from them for one of my other cars. The Z fitment was pretty poor. I never got it to work correctly. Disappointing.

Let we have to measure how much it cost to repair a phone screen. In almost all Galaxy S and Note models, Samsung charges upwards of $200 for a cracked display replacement. It costs $289 to replace the screen on the Galaxy S22 and S21 Ultra
