There's never a great spot to put your phone in the car, but I've grown to like the a/c vent for a few reasons.
It will keep the phone cool on long rides when it's plugged in and charging
The phone stays off the dash or in some pocket where I can't find it
I have easy access to check directions for turn-by-turn
Magnetic disc comes off the clip and attaches to any phone. I was using an iPhone 16 Max and it held up well
The disc and clip are very small so you con't have to cover your whole vent. There is also no twist-lock mechanism, which can make other clips protrude.
The lever, as seen above, is easy to open and has a spring-loaded closing function. Move it around with ease to any spot on the car vent.

The only downside and reason for a 4 star review was the fact that wireless charging is ,not working when the disc is attached. If you have this feature on your phone, this clip may not be for you. Otherwise, it's a strong clip and you get 2 for a low price. Click the image below for a direct link.
