Mobile phone car accessory is a 'game changer' - and less than £10 from Amazon | Bristol Live

If you often rely on the SatNav on your phone to get you where you're going when you hit the road, you won't want to miss out on this 'great little gadget' that's been described as a 'game changer'.

The Blukar Car Phone Holder hooks easily and firmly over the air vents in your car, with hooks made from a special metal that makes them more sturdy and durable.

The length of the hook clip can even be adjusted for a more firm fit, to suit almost any model of vehicle.

And once the holder is secured to your events, it's simply a case of popping your phone into the holder, and squeezing the two arms together to make sure your device is held in place - and then you're good to go, without fear of bumpy roads or potholes dislodging your phone.

The universal car phone holder is designed to fit all phone models with screens measuring between four and seven inches, without even having to remove your phone case.

This makes it compatible with the newest iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 16 Plus, and 16 Pro Max, as well as Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices.

The Blukar phone holder is equipped with a 360° rotating ball joint, meaning you can rotate your phone horizontally or vertically, to suit your preferences.

It does not block your view while driving, and can be easily adjusted with one hand to give you the best viewing angle of your phone screen, without interfering with vision while driving. You can browse, answer calls, and play music happily and safely while on the road.

And when you reach the end of your journey and want to remove your phone from the holder, a simple one-button release system will loosen the arms holding your phone in place, and you can just lift it out.

The best part is, for such a must-have driving accessory, you won't have to break the bank: as the Blukar Car Phone Holder is currently 25% off at Amazon, down from £11.99 to just £8.99.

It is currently one of Amazon's top 10 best-selling mobile phone car holders, with a customer rating of 4.4 stars out of five, from more than 13,000 reviews.

One happy customer said: "I wasn’t expecting much from a compact air vent phone holder, but the Blukar Car Phone Holder really impressed me. It clips onto the vent securely and doesn’t wobble or fall out, even on bumpy roads. The grip holds my phone firmly, and it’s super easy to slide the phone in and out with one hand (major win for convenience).

"It’s minimal, sleek, and doesn’t block my view while driving. Bonus points for not shaking like crazy any time I hit a pothole. Great little gadget that does exactly what it’s supposed to, and does it well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fuss-free, reliable phone mount for your car."

Another added: "I’ve been using the Blukar Car Phone Holder for a few weeks now, and it’s been fantastic. It’s incredibly easy to install, just clips securely onto the air vent and stays firmly in place, even on bumpy roads. The upgraded hook clip design really makes a difference in keeping the mount stable.

"It fits my phone (and even larger models) perfectly, and the grip is tight without scratching the device. Whether I'm using GPS, taking calls, or playing music, this mount makes everything easier and safer while on the road. Great value for the quality, highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable car phone holder."

And a third shopper said: "This is the best phone holder I’ve ever had. On quality and design it’s punching way above its price point. It’s a good design and solid. It’s really easy to install, and the ball mount means you can tilt the phone to suit you and your car, and then lock the position firmly.

"Attaching and removing the phone is easy, and there’s a good sized central aperture for the USB cable to route through. I like the back button to release the phone - at first I thought it was a bit out of the way, but it’s easy to find and push with a finger, and the back position means its unlikely to be accidentally pushed."

However, some drivers noted that the gadget is not suitable for the air vents on their specific cars, as one commented: "Didn't fit in my Peugeot car, kept on falling. Apart from that it might fit other cars, and it is good quality."

And another said: "I'm sure this could be a good product but it was no good for my car, it doesn't fit the vents in a Mercedes AMG car."

If you're looking for a similar car accessory without having to worry about whether it will fit your car vents, Blukar also offers a phone holder that suctions to your car's dashboard or windscreen, which you can use in any car and with any phone, for only £9.99, down from £13.99 at Amazon.
