Belkin Car Cup Mount For Smartphones (Cup Holder Mount Compatible With iPhone 14/14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 12, 11, XS, XR, SE, 8, Samsung, LG, Sony, Google, More)

It holds the phone securely and at different angles. Allowing me to easily adjust the base diameter means it is simple to fit my car's cup holder slot.

I purchased the cup holder version. For my car, which has no gear lever or handbrake near my cup holders, this works really well. The top of the base twists and expands the base to fit firmly in the cup holder. In my car, the position is ideal as it does not block any controls. You do ideally need both hands to load the phone as the side clips need to be pushed at the same time. So, with one hand, start to open them, then slide the phone in. Many holders are like this, but if you want easy, one handed phone-loading, then it may not be ideal. Once locked into the cup holder, there is plenty of movement. You can spin it like a propeller or twist it to turn the phone flat like a mini table. The only restriction is twisting it left and right. For example, if you position the phone to face you, then you can't twist it right around to the passenger. This is because the ball socket is supported by vertical brackets. This means the phone is very stable, but limits the amount of twisting. For me, I wanted stability and rarely need a passenger to see the phone. They could always fetch it out the holder if essential or you can loosen the grip in the cup holder and twist the whole unit. Overall, very well built, grips the phone well and no phone vibration.

The Belkin Car Cup Mount promises a convenient and safe way to secure your smartphone while driving, utilizing your vehicle's cup holder as its base. The ability to rotate 360 degrees and tilt 90 degrees is a game-changer, allowing you to easily switch between portrait and landscape modes for optimal viewing, whether you're taking a call or using GPS navigation. 🗺️One of the standout features of this mount is its universal compatibility. Belkin claims it can accommodate most smartphones up to 3.3 inches wide, including popular models from Apple, Samsung, LG, and more. This versatility is a major plus, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices, even those with cases on. 👍However, some users have reported issues with the mount's grip strength, especially when navigating bumpy roads or making sharp turns. The expandable base, while designed to fit most cup holders, may not always provide a secure enough fit, leading to the potential for your device to slip or fall out. 😬Another potential drawback is the mount's overall size and bulk. While compact enough to fit in cup holders, it may obstruct access to other car controls or storage compartments, depending on your vehicle's layout. 🚘On the plus side, the integrated cable management system is a thoughtful touch, preventing tangled cords and making it easy to keep your device charged while mounted. This attention to detail is a testament to Belkin's understanding of user needs. ⚡Overall, the Belkin Car Cup Mount is a solid choice for those seeking a versatile and affordable way to securely mount their smartphone in their vehicle. While it may not be perfect, its compatibility and adjustability make it a contender worth considering, especially if cup holder real estate isn't at a premium in your car. Just be mindful of potential grip and size issues, and happy (safe) navigating! 🚦

So far this has proven to be a good choice. Feels solid and keeps phone steady. Just be sure to not over-tighten the feet on the base when installing to avoid it disintegrating like it has in some of the reviews. I just tighten until there’s slight resistance and have had no issues.

Brilliant product Fits perfectly in the cup holder on my van and a sturdy arm to support the phone

My experience with suction/windscreen phone holders has always ended with the holder and phone detaching from the windscreen and inevtiably falling into the footwell while driving.There are many unknown brand cup mount phone holders available, but most have a long neck which means the phone will vibrate while driving. This is is pricey, but it works. It locks firmly into the cup holder. It's 'stumpy' and therefore sturdy. It convincingly grips my wide heavy phone which doesn't vibrate while driving.

Excellent phone holder, this was bought for a Smart ForTwo / ForFour 453 - these cars are problematic for putting a phone holder anywhere because of the unusual dashboard layout which prevents one from being fitted in most places.This is pretty much the only solution to the problem in one of these cars and works very very well.The cup holder mount works flawlessly and is adjustable to fit different sized cup holders by means of turning a wheel to make the sides expand out with rubberised arms to grip the insides of your car cup holder. This gives a very secure grip, and the expanding arms of the phone grip have good tension on them to hold your phone securely and is also adjustable to move up/down/left/right for a good viewing angle. The phone holder opens wide enough to hold my iPhone 8 Plus but won’t open much wider than that, but phones don’t get that much bigger than that anyway. Recommended for cup holders at the front, but doesn’t work well in narrow openings next to the handbrake in my Renault Clio IV as room is too limited to be useful.

This phone holder is perfect for those who don’t have suitable air vents or dashboards for using standard device holders, and no messy suction cups that block your field of vision when driving. It has a good weight to it so feels very well made. You put it into your cup holder and twist a grooved ring which expands the main body, ensuring a snug fit for all sizes of well. The ball joint is firm and allows for repositioning of your device without shaking or sagging. Best device holder I’ve ever had. If you have a suitable cup holder, you can’t go wrong with this.
