Handphone holder (a.k.a. phone cradle) is a very handy and useful gadget when we want to hold our phone in our car at eye level.
One of the common use case is when we use our handphone for navigation on Google Map, or Waze, or some other similar navigation apps.
There are generally 5 types of handphone holders available in the market:
Depends on the design of your car front panel, you can choose the more popular air-cond vent fin clipping type, or the CD/DVD player slot holding type.
My UGREEN LP144 gravity handphone holder of car CD/DVD slot holding type costs at RM20++ and has a simple packaging.

This is how it looks like (front and back).
As you can see from the picture, it has 3 rubber pads to be inserted
into the car CD/DVD slot to hold it firmly. The big button at the back
of the center rubber pad is used to align the rubber pads for insertion
and removal.
This handphone holder can still be used even when there is CD/DVD inside the player. It would not affect the CD/DVD playing.
I have chosen it because of its special 3 arms design, whereby when the lower arm is pulled down, the left and right arms will contract. When you slot in your phone, the weight of the phone will pull down the lower arm, forming a strong grip by the side arms.
As such, it can hold your phone firmly, and you don't need to be worried about the phone fall off the holder when you are driving on bumpy road.
This holder can fit for handphones with width up to about 8.3cm. If the phone is too large (for example, the Huawei Mate 20 X with width of 8.54cm), then might not be able to fit in.
For my car, the phone is sitting at the position just nice to be cooled by the air-cond behind it.
The only thing I dislike about this product is that, it will produce rattling sound when you are driving on uneven road, and there is no phone put on it. This is caused by its plastic arms knocking onto the center part and product the noise.
If the manufacturer can enhance its design by putting a layer of thin soft sponge at the knocking points which produces the noise, then it will be a perfect product.
