If you're driving a car, you shouldn't be using your phone. There, I said it. Unfortunately, almost no one heeds this advice, myself included. Because maps must be viewed, podcasts must be played, text messages must glance, and so on.

But let's face it: that's insanely dangerous.

It's really hard to not use your phone while driving. But it's not hard to be a little smarter about it, which starts with mounting your phone on your dashboard or windshield.

And let me just say there are a zillion options. Below I've rounded up a handful of them,

Conclusion

Every car is a little different, and I suspect everyone has different preferences when it comes to mounting their phone. The good news is you don't have to spend a lot to make it happen, even if you have to try a couple different products before landing on the one you like best.

All that being said, this was my preferred choice for my 2008 Mustang and my iPhone.
