A wireless car mount can simplify navigation by keeping a compatible phone visible and charging without a cable connected to the handset. The iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless 2 combines a Qi charging cradle with two installation options: a CD-slot connector and an air-vent bracket.
What to consider
- Check that your phone supports Qi charging. The listing specifies up to 7.5W for iPhone and 10W for Android devices.
- Measure your phone and case before buying. The adjustable bottom foot is designed for larger phones up to 3.6 inches wide, while wireless charging is listed as compatible with cases up to 6mm thick.
- Choose the mounting position that suits your vehicle. A CD-slot mount may offer a central position, while the vent bracket can be preferable when the dashboard or windshield should remain clear.
- Remember that the mount is not presented as a complete power solution: the product listing describes the phone mount and charging cradle, so a suitable car power adapter may be needed.
The Easy One Touch mechanism is intended for one-handed placement: pressing the side arms and the phone against the trigger closes the cradle around the device. The mount also has an adjustable support foot and a 360-degree ball joint, according to the manufacturer’s description.
The main trade-off is installation compatibility. CD-slot and air-vent mounting will not suit every vehicle or driver, and vent mounting can depend on the strength and position of the vehicle’s vents. Charging performance may also depend on phone alignment, case thickness, and the power supplied by the vehicle adapter.
