Types of car phone holder<\/h3>\n

So what kind of car holder is right for you? Probably the first thing to narrow it down is to choose where you want to put your phone. Windscreen and dashboard car holders are traditionally the most common options, but air vents holders and CD slot holders are gaining popularity. Headrest car holders are the perfect choice for entertaining backseat passengers. If you know which one you want, choose it from the options below!<\/p>\n

Car phone holder features<\/h3>\n

There are also a range of features that you should consider before buying. Do you have a tablet or a very large smartphone that might need a specialised holder? Do you want a magnetic system that works extremely quickly but requires sticking a magnetic pad to your phone case? Is cable management an issue? Take a look and see for yourself!<\/p>\n

\"OlixarMagnetic car holders<\/strong>\u00a0let you attach and remove your phone extremely rapidly, saving time and hassle. Generally, they work by sticking a small (and removable) magnetic pad to the back of your phone or case.<\/p>\n

Tablet car holders\u00a0<\/strong>are those designed for tablets rather than smartphones. While headrest car holders are the most common place you\u2019ll find tablet compatibility, you can also find other form factors with this capability.<\/p>\n
