Overview

The Polaroid PCM1019BK is a magnetic car dashboard phone holder designed to give drivers quick, hands-free access to their smartphones. Rather than relying on clamps or suction cups, it uses a magnetic contact point to hold your device in place, making it easy to mount and remove your phone with one hand. The universal design accommodates a wide range of smartphones from Apple, Samsung, Google, and other manufacturers.

Its compact black housing sits low on the dashboard, keeping your line of sight relatively clear while still positioning the phone within easy view. The adhesive base is intended for flat or gently curved dashboard surfaces. For phones that lack magnetic backing, an included metal plate can be attached to the phone or slipped inside a case to enable the magnetic connection. It is a simple, affordable mounting solution best suited for lighter phones and smooth dashboard surfaces.
