Whenever you’re on the road, it’s extremely important to drive responsibly. Having safe driving habits greatly helps to avoid potential accidents, which helps ensure your safety and that of all other drivers sharing the road with you. One of the most crucial driving habits to have is keeping your eyes on the road at all times. Therefore, it’s important to prevent any distractions that could get your eyes off the road, even momentarily. That particularly includes using your phone while driving. For drivers that often require to use their phone for staying in touch and using GPS for road navigation, purchasing a car phone holder would definitely be a great investment. These devices give you a safe way to have your phone at eye level and within hands reach without requiring you take your eyes off the road when you need to use it. For a car phone holder that’s reliable and easy to use, the SmartAdditions LOUNGE-IT is a great choice.
The SmartAdditions LOUNGE-IT is a high-visibility magnetic car phone holder that works with virtually any smartphone without requiring the use of clips, clamps, or straps and offers two mounting options with 360º rotation, including a rear-view mirror stem mount arm that puts your phone at eye level for safer navigation with horizontal or vertical positioning and a vent clamp mount for keeping it at dashboard level. It also features a unique cradle design that combines two magnet areas which prevent the blocking of Qi and MagSafe wireless charging so that your phone can recharge wirelessly together with a fold-away recliner that keeps your phone secure and prevents it from sliding off.
Unlike many lower-end car phone mounts on the market that can’t hold your phone at a stable viewing angle and also let it fall off, this magnetic car phone holder provides a secure hold and an easy one-hand operation for your phone while you’re driving.
Now, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at the SmartAdditions LOUNGE-IT and go over everything that this high-visibility magnetic car phone holder has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the unit’s size, this magnetic car phone holder has a compact form factor, so you can be assured that it doesn’t block your car’s windshield and your road view.
The SmartAdditions LOUNGE-IT also sports a very professional look and packs a super-durable construction, meaning that it’s built to last.
To allow for full adjustability, this magnetic car phone holder comes together with a rear-view mirror stem mount arm that can be used for keeping your phone at eye level in either a horizontal or vertical positioning, while also supporting 360º rotation.
Furthermore, it also comes together with a vent clamp mount that enables drivers to attach it to their car’s dashboard if they prefer.
What’s more is that the SmartAdditions LOUNGE-IT also features a unique cradle design that integrates two magnet areas (installed at the center of its body) which prevent the blocking of wireless coils that deliver Qi and MagSafe wireless charging, thus allowing for your phone to recharge wirelessly.
To achieve this, users are required to use the included metal plate with their phone, which is meant to be placed near the bottom of phones that support Qi or MagSafe wireless charging, or alternatively, placed in the center of phones that only support wired charging (i.e. USB-C or Apple lighting charging).
In addition, the LOUNGE-IT’s cradle design also integrates a fold-away recliner that keeps your phone secure and prevents it from ever sliding off the phone holder (which is a common problem for phone holders that use magnets alone).
SET UP / INSTALLATION
When it comes to its installation, the magnetic car phone holder is designed to offer drivers an easy set up process straight out of its box. The LOUNGE-IT works with virtually any smartphone and doesn’t require the use of clips, clamps, or straps, so its installation is quick and easy.
Using the phone holder together with its rear-view mirror stem mount arm puts your phone at eye level, allowing for safer navigation, for which you can choose between having it set at a horizontal or vertical positioning. The horizontal orientation is ideal for dash cam apps, while the vertical orientation is best suitable for visualizing maps for GPS navigation.
Note that using this phone holder with its rear-view mirror stem mount arm requires a mirror stem open length of at least 0.67”.
Alternatively, you can simply clamp the phone holder to your car’s vent by using it together with its vent clamp mount, which allows it to keep your phone at a dashboard level.
