How they stack up

iOttie iTap 3 Magnetic Dash & Windshield Mount

The best all-rounder, edging the iOttie iTap 2 with stronger magnets and MagSafe compatibility, and undercutting the charging-equipped iOttie Velox Pro Wireless on price. It is easier to use one-handed than the universal RAM X-Grip and more securely magnetic than the Spigen OneTap 3 in most tests.

Spigen OneTap 3 Dashboard Car Mount (MagFit)

A clean, affordable MagSafe mount that competes with the iOttie iTap 3 and iOttie iTap 2 on hold and ease of use, generally landing just behind the iTap 3 on raw magnet strength. It lacks the wireless charging of the iOttie Velox Pro Wireless and the rugged clamp security of the RAM X-Grip.
