7+ iPhone Windshield Mounts to Really Secure Your Device on the Go

Terrible iPhone windshield mounts are a dime a dozen. You know the ones that wriggle at every turn, drop at speed bumps, and randomly lose suction. Back when we first introduced our own suction phone mounts, we ran them through rigorous testing - we’re talking extreme measures. We just couldn’t lie back and accept that suction phone mounts don’t suction well enough. The same attention we gave design and engineering when creating the best phone cases, we put into our mounts and all Rokform accessories.

We’re not the only contenders out there - albeit on top of the list - but there are other great windshield phone mounts that get the job done. So, if you want the best windshield mount, we got your back - if you want to see what else is out there and how we stack up, here’s our list of the best iPhone windshield mounts for your car or truck.

Here’s a quick answer in case you’re short on time. Rokform’s iPhone suction mounts are unparalleled - they stick on and don’t let go. Coupled with the most protective phone cases (that have the strongest magnets), you get a steady phone hold every time.

If you’ve checked out our table above, you already know we’ve compared each one of these iPhone windshield phone mounts based on a solid set of criteria. You want your phone suction mount to be stable, to work with your phone, to adjust to different angles, to stay put, be simple to use, and hey - a few extra features never hurt! We’ve analyzed the top windshield phone mounts on the market based on exactly that, here’s a quick dive in:

1. Stability: How securely does the mount hold your device?

2. Compatibility: Does it work with various iPhone models and cases?

3. Adjustability: Can you easily adjust the viewing angle?

4. Suction strength: How well does it adhere to the windshield?

5. Ease of use: Is it simple to attach and detach your phone?

6. Additional features: Does it offer extras like wireless charging?

Each mount got a rating out of 5 based on our personal experiences with some, community reviews, and extensive research. We made sure to stay objective and report the facts, read on and let’s get started!

Being made of premium materials is just the start with our Magnetic Windshield Car Charger. The base is made of lightweight and tough glass-filled polymer and the pro ball aluminum adjustment arm gives you the perfect viewing angle. It’s super easy to use with a thumb adjuster - still keeping it low profile to keep your mount from being too bulky!

This mount allows you to magnetically attach your phone so it works with any magnetic case. However! Our magnets are some of the strongest available on the market - if you pair this mount with a Rokform case - you’ve got enhanced stability you won’t get anywhere else. We use N52 neodymium magnets on our mounts and our cases - the strongest available - and can handle any terrain.

You can rely on the enhanced suction and wireless charging makes it all the more convenient!

This iPhone windshield mount has a 4.9 rating since its introduction, and for good reason! Buyers confirm the suction hold is extremely strong and offers the ‘perfect reach and flexibility’. Suction car mounts on the market seem to miss the obvious ‘suction strength’ necessary to keep your mount secured - our windshield phone mount doesn’t have that issue. Here’s what verified buyers have to say:

Just $39.99 is what stands between you and one of the most stable and reliable iPhone windshield mounts! If you’re eager to give it a try, be sure to check out our Rugged Phone Cases to get the complete RokLock™ system!

Quadlock offers a similar case/mount ecosystem with their iPhone windshield mounts. This particular one boasts secure mounting, easy install, adjustability, and optional wireless charging.

It’s made for your windshield, but includes an adhesive pad if you’d rather attach it to your dash - options are always good! You can choose between the Suction Windscreen/Dash Mount and the Heavy Duty Suction Mount. You’ll also be asked to choose a head upgrade for either the MAG Wireless Charging Head, the Wireless Charging Head, or just a MAG head. Each of those options will depend on the ‘kit’ you’d like to put together for your car. 2/3 of those options will require a Quadlock case that completes the ecosystem they’ve put together.

Let’s get into the suction power - it’s lever activated for an extreme hold and is said to withstand extreme temperatures. Quadlock also mentions that you can reposition your iPhone windshield phone mount over and over without losing suction power.

Users aren’t so mixed on this one - with a calculated total of 4.67 stars out of 5 on their site and 4.3 stars on Amazon . 5 star reviews say it ‘sticks and stays in place’ and ‘sturdy and practical’. Whereas 1 star reviewers say ‘good product, but only lasted me 11 months’ and ‘wireless charging add-on is really bad’. There are also those in the middle who claim ‘drops off windscreen on hot days’ and ‘the suction mount is much larger than it appears in the photos online’. All in all, you gotta check this one out for yourself - here are a few more reviews to help you decide:

Starting at $49.99 but can cost you anywhere between that and $102.97 if you’re looking to go with any wireless charging head paired with the Heavy Duty version of this mount.

Arkon introduced the Slim-Grip® Ultra Windshield or Dash Car Mount with both iPhone SE and iPhone Pro Max models in mind. It could even accommodate a mid-sized tablet, although one could argue that the view disruption may be an issue there. From 4.8” up to 7.25” inches tall, the Arkon holds your phone securely in place. They have a 360° rotation capability and come with a 90mm dash adhesive if you decide the windshield placement isn’t for you. Let’s jump into the main features below. They also offer a lifetime warranty, which is a good sign!

Selling for just $19.99, what they say can be true - you get what you pay for. Although judging by some of the reviews, that saying may or may not be bogus in this case - after all, 65% of users gave this windshield phone mount 5 stars. Got it? Let us know what you think below!

Users rave about the sleek design of the SP Connect Suction Mount - it does look good! This windshield phone mount claims vibration-free mounting and super flexible positioning. Aside from the windshield, this suction could also grip onto your dash if it’s smooth enough. To use this iPhone windshield phone mount though, you’ll need an SP Connect phone case as well. Their ecosystem does have mixed reviews, but we’ll get to that below.

Rave reviews on SP Connects mounts, but we couldn’t find just specific reviews for their iPhone windshield mounts natively. Heading over to Amazon, we were able to find it with 4.5/5 stars. As with most suction car mounts, experience will vary - here’s what users have to say about SP Connect’s Suction Mount:

The mount itself will cost you $39.99, add on another $39.99 for the case and that’s just under $80 for the full system. If you give it a shot, be sure to let us know how it goes below!

Might Mount introduced this suction car mount for the iPhone 12 to 15 series. It comes equipped and ready to wirelessly charge your iPhone - but be sure to use a 12V output charger, and they caution that integrated ports in your car may not align with the power preferences of this charger. That risk aside, this is a good mount with a strong suction base. It uses powerful magnets to keep your phone in place - but works best with a true MagSage case.

Mighty Mount has racked up a 4.7 star rating out of 132 reviews on their site for this mount and 4.5 rating out of 26 reviews on Amazon.

Most users praise the mount and mention the magnets holding their phone as described! Others had a bit of a finicky experience when putting the mount together or if they didn’t have a fully MagSafe case - to be fair, Might Mount makes it very clear that you needa MagSafe case with their mount, it’s in the name! Here’s what reviewers on Amazon had to say:

For $54.99, this is a pretty good buy. Mighty Mount is known for good quality products, and they’re really transparent with what you need to make the best out of your purchase. Be sure to read up on the details, and you should be good to go!

With 4.6 stars - one of the biggest holdbacks we got from our customers is that this mount doesn’t have charging capabilities. Hence why we introduced our Magnetic Windshield Car Charger! On the other end, we’ve got recent buyers claiming “It does the excellent Job!” and “Great holder, plenty of suction”! Here’s what Rokform enthusiast had to say about our Suction Cup Magnetic Phone Holder:

Pick up this windshield phone mount for $59.99 on our site to see how we’ve given a new meaning to ‘magnetic hold’. 2x stronger than the standard MagSafe compatible magnet arrays is no joke! The oversized adjustment knobs make it easy to shift your angle and the sleek and slender design won’t disrupt your view.

An upgrade from their bestseller - iOttie’s one touch mechanism allows you to easily release your phone from its mounts grip. It also includes a magnet to hold your cord in place - a nice touch!

Mous also has a chip in play with iPhone windshield mounts - this particular mount has rapid charging and comes with a car adapter. Users are mixed about this one and it’s currently out of stock at the time of this writing. Take a look at how our cases stack up in the battle of Rokform vs Mous phone cases.

iPhone windshield mounts got to be MagSafe! That’s likely the number one thing to look out for. Aside from that, you’ll want a windshield phone mount that’s sleek, doesn’t budge (no matter the bumps on the road), and has magnets powerful enough to keep your phone from tumbling.

Rokform magnets are the toughest out there - we use MAGMAX™ tech with 2-10x more security with N52 magnets to ensure your phone doesn’t detach!

The debate around magnets and phones has been around since magnets and phones have been paired up. Back then, at the beginning stage, yeah - they weren’t the perfect duo. But that relationship has evolved and pioneers like us have made sure they’re in sync!

Here’s the thing - most of these suction car mounts are magnetic - they attach to your phone via the magnets on your case. If you’re using intuitive magnetic phone cases, it’s most likely made with the magnet on the outer surface of the case. We design our phone cases with magnetic attachments in mind - so you can’t go wrong with Rokform.

If you’re using a metal plate underneath your case anda thick case, well - it’s up in the air. You’ll have to do some testing to get a real feel of how things will turn out.

With most suction cups, it’s a simple soap and warm water process. Lightly scrub the cup, don’t use harsh chemicals, make sure it’s completely dry, then re-attach. Clean your suction cup often, we recommend every 1-2 months, especially if you live in an area with extreme cold or heat temperatures. Also give it a nice scrub when moving it or if you feel like it’s losing its suction power.

This will depend on where you live. The law will be different from state to state. If you’re travelling cross country, it’s best to do a quick Google search for every state line you plan to cross. The great thing about iPhone windshield mounts is that most can double as a dash mount! So if the law isn’t in the favor of windshields, you can transfer it over to your dash. Driver beware - some suction car mounts will require an extra adhesive pad to transfer it over to your dash, so maybe keep it in your glove compartment!

The results are in - and they may have been obvious from the start. Users are looking for 5 criteria above all else when looking for iPhone windshield mounts. Stability, compatibility, adjustability, wireless charging capabilities, and premium long-lasting materials.

If your windshield phone mount doesn’t last you through the cold winter or a hot summer - you chose the wrong one. At Rokform, all of our products are built to last and come with one of the best guarantees on the market - because we know we can stand beyond our products. For 2 years, if any manufacturing defect affects your mount or if you change your mind within 60 days (the standard is 30 days), we’ve got you covered. We’ve designed some of the best phone cases out there - and all our accessories match that same threshold of quality and value.

Beyond your car or truck, we’ve designed the best motorcycle phone mounts and the best phone mount for bikes. If you’re still not convinced, check out our Survival Series blogs - they’re user testimonials of out of this world situations where their Rokform cases save the day. Here’s a snippet of one of our favorites from Blain - a verified motorcycle mount buyer:

“A big shoutout to @rokform for making the toughest phone mount out there. Crashed my motorcycle and although the case broke off of the mount that’s the only damage. Phone and mount were unharmed!! Keep up the good work @rokform_moto. I will definitely be getting a new case soon!!”
