Which Phone Holder Is Right For You? Let Our Experts Help!

When it comes to keeping your phone secure and accessible on the road, trail, or job site, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. At RAM® Mounts, we’ve designed a range of phone holders tailored to meet the unique needs of every user—from the daily commuter to the off-road adventurer. Whether you're looking for classic simplicity, rugged security, or integrated wireless charging, we've got a solution for you.

RAM® X-Grip®: The Universal Icon

Our most recognizable phone holder design, the RAM® X-Grip® is a fan favorite for its sleek, spring-loaded form and universal fit. No assembly required—just attach it to your preferred base (like the Twist-Lock™ suction cup), and you're ready to go.


This phone holder is ideal for everyday drivers, commuters, and anyone who wants a quick setup with wide device compatibility.

Things to consider: The RAM® X-Grip® requires two hands to insert or remove your phone, which can slow you down if you're frequently on the move. In high-vibration or open-cockpit environments (like motorcycles or ATVs), it’s essential to use the included tether for added security.

A fun variation of the RAM® X-Grip® phone holder worth considering is the Rotating X-Grip® . This version swaps out the traditional center decal for an adjustable screw, allowing you to set the tension and pivot between portrait and landscape orientation on the fly. Whether you’re navigating with your phone upright or kicking back to watch something sideways, the Rotating X-Grip® adds flexibility without sacrificing the iconic look or universal fit you expect from a classic.

2. RAM® Quick-Grip™: No-Frills & Rugged Tension

The RAM® Quick-Grip™ is a go-to phone holder choice for users who value simplicity, speed, and strength. With a minimalist design that skips the extras, this holder is all about function. A spring-loaded backplate and adjustable side arms hold your phone while still allowing for one-handed insertion—making it a top pick for riders who don’t want to fuss with multiple moving parts.


This phone holder is ideal for riders, powersport users, fleet operators, and anyone who prefers a straightforward, no-nonsense solution.


Things to consider: Its strong tension is part of what makes it so reliable, but that same tension means it’s not as suited for suction cup mounting or lightweight surfaces. The holder also requires some assembly, so it’s not quite grab-and-go—but once it’s set up, it’s rock solid.

3. RAM® Quick-Grip™ Pro: Secure Hold + Charging Options

The RAM® Quick-Grip™ Pro takes everything users love about the original Quick-Grip™ phone holder and refines it into a smarter, sleeker package. With this redesign, we focused not just on functionality—but also on creating a cleaner, more refined aesthetic that looks right at home on everything from a motorcycle to a service vehicle dashboard.


The Quick-Grip™ Pro still delivers the one-handed insert riders appreciate—just push your phone up into the top arm, press your phone flush, and you're ready to roll. Rubber end caps on each of the arms help absorb shock and vibration, offering extra grip and protection on bumpy rides. And thanks to its compact, unified structure, the phone holder has a lower profile and cleaner look than the original Quick-Grip™, giving your setup a more polished feel without sacrificing toughness.

Functionally, the Quick-Grip™ Pro features a reengineered backplate with an integrated cavity designed to house either the RAM® waterproof wireless charger or the Apple® MagSafe® puck. This built-in option means fewer cords and accessories cluttering your setup, and a streamlined way to keep your phone powered throughout the day.

This phone holder is ideal for users who want secure phone mounting with optional wireless charging and a sleek, professional appearance when there is no phone in it—perfect for motorcycles, work fleets, or any powered setup.

Things to consider: While this mount accommodates many phones, it’s not compatible with thicker, heavy-duty cases. It may also block front-facing cameras depending on the phone’s size and position. Minor assembly is required to configure the charging puck if you choose to integrate one—but once it’s set, the result is a tidy, high-performance solution.

4. RAM® Quick-Grip™ Pro XL: Phone Holder Built for Heavy-Duty Cases

If your phone is in a bulky case—like an OtterBox® Defender—or if you're using a larger enterprise devices, the Quick-Grip™ Pro XL provides the extra space and strength needed to keep it secure. Like its smaller sibling covered in section 3, it includes the same wireless charging cavity and one-handed insertion.


This phone holder is ideal for enterprise environments, rugged cases, or larger phones.


Things to know: Aligning the charging puck may require manual adjustment at the base, which can be less universal across devices. The phone holder's larger size also adds noticeable bulk to your setup.

RAM® MagSafe® Adapter: Clean, Magnetic Simplicity

If you're all about clean lines, fast access, and modern convenience, the RAM® MagSafe® Adapter might be your perfect match. This minimalist solution allows you to drop in your Apple MagSafe® Charger puck, turning your go-to charger into a secure, vehicle-ready phone mount.


With no spring tension or side grips, this adapter relies entirely on the magnetic connection built into MagSafe®-compatible phones and cases. The result? A super clean setup that’s ideal for enclosed vehicle cabs, work trucks, or anyone looking to eliminate cable clutter and reduce friction in their daily routine.


Its compact footprint also gives your dash or console a sleek, modern look when there's no phone attached while still integrating seamlessly with the RAM® ecosystem of arms and bases.


This phone holder is ideal for daily drivers, light-duty fleets, and anyone using an iPhone® with MagSafe® compatibility in low-vibration, enclosed environments.


Things to know: Because this phone holder relies on the magnetic connection alone, it’s not suitable for off-road or high-vibration use. In environments with heavy bumps or motion, the risk of your phone detaching increases.
