Collection: Phone & Tablet Mounts

How to choose a phone or tablet mount

1. Start with where it goes.

• In the car: vent clips and dashboard or windshield mounts keep a phone in view for navigation. Headrest mounts from Klipxtreme hold phones and tablets up to 14 in for back-seat passengers. HyperGear also makes a cup-holder mount.
• On a counter or desk: locking stands from Mount-It! and StarTech secure an iPad or tablet for point-of-sale, check-in or kiosk use. The iBOLT TabDock holds 7 to 10 in tablets.
• On the floor or wall: the Mount-It! floor kiosk and wall enclosure turn a tablet into a self-serve station.
• In your hand: flip stands, pop grips and wallet kickstands from Killer Concepts, Monet and Xcel make a phone easier to hold and prop up.

2. Check the size range. Universal holders list the phone width or tablet size they grip. Enclosures and locking stands fit specific iPad models, so confirm yours is listed on the product page.

3. Decide if it needs to lock. For public spaces, choose a lockable stand or enclosure. The StarTech locking holder includes a 6 ft cable lock.

Mount FAQ

Is it legal to mount my phone in the car in Canada?

Rules vary by province. Most allow hands-free use with the phone securely mounted, as long as you don't hold or type on it while driving. Check your province's distracted-driving rules.

Will a car mount fit my iPad?

Phone vent clips won't, but headrest mounts rated up to 14 in hold most iPads and tablets.

Which tablet stand is best for a store counter?

A lockable countertop stand with a rotating head lets you turn the screen toward the customer at checkout and lock it when the store is closed.
