This super-strong magnetic phone mount keeps your device in place on the bumpiest roads — and it's just $22

By now, everyone knows that you need a phone mount for your car. It's just a matter of safety. The problem lies in finding a good one. Most mounts have a sort of cradle that your phone rests in, but these can be finicky and irritating to use. Enter the ESR MagSafe Mount. Say goodbye to snapping your phone into place; instead, it attaches magnetically to this mount and stays in place on even the bumpiest roads. Right now, you can make this your new favorite phone mount for just $22.

What makes this a good deal?

Aside from the fact that a phone mount is a near-universal need, you can score this little guy for a double discount. It's already 20% off, but an additional on-page coupon for 20% knocks the final price down to just $22.

Why do I need this?

We've already mentioned that this is a magnetic phone mount without a cradle, so attaching your phone is as easy as placing it on the stand — but the true standout feature is that it can also charge your phone at the same time. When you consider that the mount is also adjustable because of how it attaches to the car, you have a unique device that, in our opinion, kind of blows the competition out of the water.

Of course, this is just the mount, not the full set — you'll have to buy the charger separately. Even the option is worth considering, though, since it expands the utility of this far beyond a standard phone mount. It has a magnetic strength of 1,400 grams, or just over three pounds. That's more than enough to keep your phone in place on even the bumpiest drives, although the company does suggest an official ESR phone case for going off-roading.

What reviewers say

"You should be powering this charger with some real juice. At first, I was simply plugging the USB cable into one of the available USB ports in my Chevy, wrong! I soon learned that these factory ports are much too wimpy to power this charger, I would keep getting intermittent charging, on and off. At least this is my experience. I learned that I need to use an accessory port using a high power adapter," one user warned.

"Love this!" another fan said. "I almost paid a fortune for a bulky contraption that I didn’t like. Thank goodness I stumbled across this. It works perfect (along with the magnetic case) on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra."

"The charger was super easy to install, sits in the vent perfectly and stays nice and stable. The magnet is very strong and holds my phone in place even on the uneven Maine roads," wrote another shopper.

If you want the charging functionality (sold separately), you'll need to buy the full standard charger set. This works just fine as a car mount without it, though!
