The air vent holder with a built-in 5W wireless charger from TaoTronics is down to $8.99 with JEJB6GU6 code entered at checkout on Amazon. That price is bringing down the mount from $19, which is the price it’s been going for since the summer before. Today’s drop is the lowest price we’ve ever seen, so for you, it’s a lot.
The mount serves at the same time two functions. First, as you drive, it gives your phone a safe place to rest. Keep your hands off your phone and keep your phone from bouncing in or out of your cup holder. The mount will hold it for you and display all you need to see, such as navigation directions. Second, it has a built-in wireless charger. The phone will start charging once it is mounted, and all you need to do is drive. Your battery will remain overhead and you will be able to keep your eyes on the road they belong to.
It’s easy to use the mount. It is adjustable and works between 2.3 and 3.5 inches with any smartphone with screen size. All you do is press your phone into the cradle, and the arms snap around the cradle, grabbing it. To get it out again, press the simple release bars.
The wireless charger delivers 5W output, which is compatible with almost all wireless charging smartphones, even though it is not the fastest option possible. As long as they are no more than 0.2 inches thick, the charging will also work with cases.
The mount is gripping the vent with rubber arms. Even as you drive over bumpy terrain, they won’t detach or fall. You can also rotate it from portrait to landscape, allowing the perfect viewing angle to be found.
Based on 73 reviews, users give the mount 3.9 stars out of 5.
