What is it?
Every car needs a phone mount. It’s an easier, safer way to keep your mobile device in easy reach while on the road (without it being a distraction.) The problem is that so many mounts block an air vent or require a complicated setup process. The Loncaster Car Phone Holder uses friction to stay attached to your dash — just place it down, slip your phone in, and you’re good to go. No permanent installation required. Oh, and it’s 40% off (just $12!)

Why is this a good deal?
At 40% off, this is a fantastic deal — and it does more than just provide you a place to put your phone. You can also use it as storage for small objects like coins or a spare key.
Why do I need this?
The first and foremost reason is simple: most states now have hands-free laws, so you shouldn’t keep your phone on your seat (especially if you’re using it to navigate!) This phone holder is an easy way to slide your phone into place while you’re on the road so you can drive safely.
Another reason is that it doesn’t leave behind residue, and installation is as simple as slapping it down on the dash. Friction will hold the entire mount in place, even without your phone. There’s even a little cable management channel for you to run the power cord that will keep it out of the way. There’s enough padding to protect your phone against unexpected bumps and potholes, too.
This friction-focused phone mount can stand up to even sharp turns — but maybe avoid drifting around corners. (Amazon)
What reviewers say
With almost 30,000 perfect ratings, this thing has a legion of fans. “This is a simple product that works great! I’ve been using it for months and have not been disappointed. It sticks to my car’s curved, textured dashboard and stays put — in the heat, in the cold, in humid conditions, you name it. Does not leave any residue on the surface when removed / repositioned,” says one. Another fan raved, “I bought this after trying, for months, to find a cell phone holder that would actually work as advertised. I didn’t have high hopes after purchasing one similar to this. This one actually sticks and stays put! It is the perfect size for my phone (ZFlip) and doesn’t obstruct my view at all. It arrived on time and there is nothing more to say. I’m happy I took a chance with this one!”
“The only downside: you can only use this in landscape orientation, but that’s fine for my use. Excellent product, would purchase again,” summed up another user. Loncaster
