dirty ethel rackham Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Disclaimer ... I do not talk or text while I am driving. I am adamantly opposed to both. I am in the market for a cell phone holder for the car for my Samsung Galaxy SIII because I often use the navigation features of the phone when traveling. Our state recently passed a law making it illegal to use one's cell phone in any way but hands-free. If they see you holding a phone in your hand, you can get pulled over. So, I need a way to mount my phone so that I can see it easily while I am driving. I have looked at local stores but I haven't seen anything that looks reliable. I probably want a window mount because I don't want to mess up the dashboard. I have a few options in my Amazon cart - most have positive reviews, but the handful of negative reviews has gives me pause. So, does anyone use one of these and have a recommendation? Here is one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Y94CPO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1A0163V84UKHW And another one: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Universal-Suction-Phones/dp/B0089VO7HE/ref=pd_sim_cps_4 And one more: http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO102-Windshield-Dashboard-Universal/dp/B007FHX9OK/ref=pd_cp_cps_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I have the last one for my iPhone. I love it. The suction cup is awesome and it is really easy to use. I can put my iPhone in and out with one hand and it feels really secure. I highly recommend that company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Cool - and it is the less expensive one!! I'll give that a try (need to buy at least 2 for the different cars.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5of5 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I have this one and like it a lot (it doesn't rely on a suction): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I didn't look at your links but I have a tiny magnet holder. It's amazing. Barely noticeable on the phone or dash. DH has a different phone but the dash magnet works for both. Highly recommend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nyssa Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Much lower tech, but we put velcro on the phone case and velcro on the dash-- the vertical part of the dashboard between the clock and the A/C controls, actually-- and just stick the iphone on there. :) DH tried several holders but they all broke or wiggled around when the car was in motion.
