This might look cooler than it is, so I’ll let you be the judge.
This $11 cup holder phone holder has a flexible neck that raises the phone closer to your face than CupFone. (If you want a different approach, check out Nite Ize Steelie.)
Basically, the Luxmo (this is one of those companies without a website, so the link is to retail) stores in your cup holder. The clasp holds any size cellphone (up to 4-3/4 inches wide), the write-up says, and enables you to position the phone right where you want it.
Don’t like the phone in the cup holder? The Luxmo also comes with a suction cup (the mount rotates 360 degrees) and a vent clip. And the company says a lock knob and a fast-release button makes repositioning a breeze.
It might be worth taking a chance for $11. If it doesn’t work, maybe your kids will like it.
