Grab this if you've ever had a mount slide off your windshield mid-highway. One tap locks the phone in, one tap releases. My wife stole mine and I had to buy a second one within a week.

Screen Visibility Gear for Sunny Drives

Moved to a state with constant sun and suddenly couldn't read my GPS at all. Glare turned my phone into a mirror. These solved that problem before I rear-ended someone squinting at directions.

Try the auto-align tray on this one. Installation takes about 30 seconds with zero bubbles. Before this, I'd waste two protectors per attempt trying to line things up manually.

Cable Management So Your Car Doesn't Look Like a Server Room
