Best phone holder options?

Wolf66 · Mar 31, 2022

My other vehicle is a Ram 2500 and I have been very happy with the CAWCAR magnetic ball mount that I have in it. Perfect in all ways so I bought that for the jeep....It's not working! Jeep is too bumpy. The phone ends up pointing down after a mile or less. What have you found successful?

There's a few different ways to tackle this, ranging from drill to no drill; commercial-made to self-fabricated. It's really up to you and what works for how you roll.

Choice is up to you.

I used a Ram mount, used a large fender washer under the dash.

Mine has been proven to be the best. Phone and mount are @Zorba approved.

I did something similar with my Ram mount but on the side so I can still use the tray. I have a shorter arm on the way. It’s super simple.

According to @Zorba the glove compartment...

For now, I just keep mine in my pocket... when I drive the TJ it's naked, and nearly impossible to use a phone in a naked Jeep with a manual transmission...

Thank you all for so many ideas. I decided to go with the above mount from Bulletpoint. Looks HD enough to hold steady and it will allow the phone to be mostly under the level of the dash which is what I wanted. I'm not upset that I have to drill a few small holes.

Well, he doesn't want his gloves stolen.

I have the Rugged Ridge dash multi-mount phone holder. It came already installed in my Jeep when I bought it, but I have to say it works pretty well. Holds the phone securely, you can change the angle and position of it to make maps easier to read, etc. The little cubby also is a convenient place to toss my wallet or sunglasses when driving doorless.

I will say the Ram mounts are great, I have one on my zero turn for when I want tunes while mowing.

I have what is basically a ram mount with the Quadlock ball adapter mount. Need to buy a special case for phone which i know many won't want to do, but I also have a Quadlock bicycle mount so it works well for me

Here’s what I did. I’ve got a scosche magic mount setup in all our cars. I had to get creative with the Jeep but it works great and holds up while on the trail too. I found a little bolt that fit inside the socket. Then because the bolt was there had to file the back of the ball off to pan the phone towards the driver seat.

I carry two phones iPhone 11 Pro (very heavy) and iPhone 11 and both stay pretty well put when on rough trails.

Bulletpoint seems stout. Newly installed.... headed out to trona and panamints next week. I'll see if it is up to the task.

I just ordered one of those. Have a great trip, and let us know how it holds up on the trail.

They also have this style. Why’d you go with that one?
