With the advancement of technology today there are a lot of uses we are always finding for our phones. The various applications that are always coming out also make the phones even more useful. When using them in our vehicles while driving however they can become a danger. This is why we need to use a car cell phone holder or something to keep them out of our hands while driving.

It has been shown over and over again that it is just not safe to be using a phone while driving a vehicle. That does not mean that we cannot do it, just that we cannot hold them and drive at the same time. It is holding the cell that makes us want to push buttons and that just gets way too distracting while we are operating a car or a truck.

The apps all do things that make our lives much easier. Shopping tips, pictures editors, even newspaper and magazine readers. Of course there are the navigation applications and these are often times what we want to use while driving somewhere. Gone are the days of not knowing how to refold the map that comes out of our glove box.

Problem is that we cannot properly pay attention to the road if we are holding the phone while we drive our cars. This is why we need something to do that for us. Enter the car cell phone holder or mounts. They came out rather quickly after the phones all got navigation functions. The problem with them was that not all of them worked very well and they often would not hold the phones properly.

Even though people agreed with the new laws people still wanted to use other functions the phones offered. Things like navigation and mapping became very important to many people. Because of this they started to develop new mounts and brackets that could hold the phones in place at eye level so they could still be used and not be held by the driver.

There was no need to buy anything else. Except a holder of course. Every now and again a manufacturer would come out with a version that would work great with a specific device and if you had that one you could count yourself one of the lucky ones. Then after a couple years of trying and getting it wrong they finally started to get it right.

Once they did more and more people got into the act and more third party stores started to carry the good ones. It was not too hard to find them either as long as you did yourself a favor and read all of the reviews about the product before buying it. Shopping online made this as easy as anything else and enjoyable too.

Today if you go out and buy a car cell phone holder the chances of it working as it should are pretty high. That is, providing you do not buy it at some super deep discount or dollar store. Usually if you purchase it from the cell carrier or a supplier of some kind you will get one that works like it should.
