Car Phone Holders

Buying a car phone mount is the difference between navigating and gambling: having your phone at eye level in plain sight, instead of in your hand or loose on the passenger seat. The 360° rotatable mount from Strex clamps your phone securely, rotates effortlessly from portrait to landscape, and keeps your attention where it belongs — on the road.

Why a mount is not an accessory but a requirement

Since the rules were tightened, holding a phone behind the wheel results in a hefty fine — even when stopped at a traffic light. A mount provides a structural solution: navigation in view, hands-free calls, and operation limited to a single tap instead of staring into your lap. The 360° rotation is more practical than it sounds: map in landscape for a highway overview, in portrait for a list of turns in the city — just one flick of the wrist.

What to look out for?

• ✔ Line of sight — mount at eye level next to the dashboard, not down low; every look down is a second of blindness
• ✔ Clamping force — the mount must survive a bumpy road without the phone sagging
• ✔ 360° rotation — switch between portrait and landscape without detaching the phone
• ✔ One-handed operation — placing and grabbing the phone should be possible without using a second hand
• ✔ Warranty — standard 2-year warranty with Strex

The installation mistake almost everyone makes: putting the mount in the middle of the windshield or low down near the gear stick. Both force your eyes off the road for seconds at a time. The right spot is to the left of or next to the instrument cluster, as close as possible to your natural line of sight — this way you see the navigation with just an eye movement rather than a head movement. If you are navigating for a long time, the screen drains battery: a car charger or USB charger nearby keeps the phone charged, and those who stream music through an older radio can connect with a Bluetooth adapter. More for the road: car & mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to mount a phone holder?

As close to your natural line of sight as possible: next to the instrument cluster at eye level, not in the middle of the windshield and not down by the gear shift. The smaller the eye movement to the navigation, the less time you spend looking away from the road.

Does the mount fit every phone?

The clamp is adjustable and fits standard smartphone sizes, even with a case on. The 360° rotation works regardless of the size: you can always rotate to portrait or landscape without removing the phone from the mount.

Am I allowed to touch my phone if it is in a mount?

Operating a phone in a mount is permitted, holding it is not — that is the core of the rule. Keep operation to a minimum while driving: start your navigation before departure and use voice commands or a single tap for everything else.
