My favorite MagSafe accessory is at an all-time low $16 price — and it’s a must-have in the car

One thing I’ve learned from testing new electric vehicles is that the in-vehicle navigation systems really suck. That’s why I still use a car phone mount to this day, and for a limited time, my favorite one is down to its lowest price on Amazon all year.

The Lisen Vacuum Magnetic Car Phone Holder is just $16 right now, which is 43% off. That’s lower than the price I saw earlier this year when I tested it out. Normally it fetches for $30, so having it down to $16 makes it an easy holiday stocking stuffer — or even a gift to yourself.

Don't be distracted while driving your car by constantly looking down to your vehicle's display for directions. The Lisen Vacuum Magnetic Car Phone Holder is super quick to fasten to your windshield and gets you a better view of your maps navigation thanks to its MagSafe connection.

First of all, it’s cheap. Like really, $16 for this handy accessory makes it an easy impulse buy considering how other car phone mounts can easily cost $50. For example, the comparable Sosche MagicMount Pro2 costs $30 — while the Anker Nano costs way more at $60. You’re paying a fraction of the cost with Lisen’s magnetic phone mount, which also works with many of the best Android phones when they’re paired with a magnetic case.

Secondly, I love how I can get just the right angle I need with the Lisen Vacuum Magnetic Car Phone Holder. I can articulate its magnetic arm so that I can see it perfectly when I install it on my windshield, or onto my driver’s side window if I want my dashboard area to remain clutter free. Unlike other car phone mounts, this one doesn’t require any adhesive or clipped into an air vent. That’s because of its lever locking mechanism that firmly keeps it in place on a window. I’ve driven over plenty of bumps and it doesn’t budge.

Lastly, I also use the Lisen Vacuum Magnetic Car Phone Holder outside of my car to shoot photos and videos. When I’m at work, I can stick it onto my desk and use my iPhone as a convenient alarm clock. I’ve even stuck it onto my monitor for video conference calls, just because of the better angle it offers. When I’m at events, too, I can use it to record videos of myself — which lessens the need to ask someone to shoot content for me.
