Ranked #5 in Best Car Phone Mounts

iOttie iTap 2 Magnetic Dashboard Mount

4.4

$19.99as of Jun 7

The iOttie iTap 2 is the proven budget magnetic mount: a compact dashboard holder whose magnet is seriously strong enough to keep even heavy phones planted on rough roads, with a sticky-gel suction base. It feels plastic-y and predates MagSafe, so it uses an adhesive plate, but it remains a reliable, affordable hold and a sensible value option.

Strengths

— Seriously strong magnet that holds heavy phones without wobble
— Compact, low-profile design that stays out of the way
— Sticky-gel suction base mounts on dash or windshield

Watch-outs

— Mostly cheap plastic build that does not feel premium
— Not MagSafe-native; relies on an adhesive metal plate
— Superseded by the stronger, MagSafe-ready iTap 3

How they stack up

The older, budget sibling of the iOttie iTap 3, with a strong magnet but no native MagSafe support and a more basic build. It holds nearly as well as the iTap 3 and Spigen OneTap 3 for less money, but lacks the charging of the iOttie Velox Pro Wireless and the rugged clamp of the RAM X-Grip.

A clean, affordable MagSafe mount that competes with the iOttie iTap 3 and iOttie iTap 2 on hold and ease of use, generally landing just behind the iTap 3 on raw magnet strength. It lacks the wireless charging of the iOttie Velox Pro Wireless and the rugged clamp security of the RAM X-Grip.
