APPS2Car af55d9a0-1fb2-4a3b-91b1-206570ac9e08 Car Tablet Holder, 13-inch Arm

Practical tips

With a 13-inch flexible gooseneck, this APPS2Car car holder lets you bring a mounted tablet closer and set it at a useful viewing angle. The suction mount is designed for the windscreen or other flat surfaces, while the arm bends to suit the layout of your car.

For navigation or a passenger’s screen, the holder keeps a compatible device positioned for hands-free viewing. Its adjustable clamp rotates through 360°, so you can choose portrait or landscape orientation.

If you need a mount mainly for a mobile phone, a compact phone holder may suit that job. This model is designed for a broader screen, making it useful when you want a tablet visible in the car for route guidance or other on-screen use.

What you’ll notice day to day

The clamp has quick-release buttons on both sides, allowing you to place or remove a device with one hand. Openings at the top and bottom leave access for a charging cable while the device is mounted. A silicone-lined, reinforced metal clip holds the device, and the included stabiliser is designed to help reduce movement on the road.

The flexible arm can be repositioned to bring the screen within reach and adjust its angle. Take care to position the mount where it does not obstruct your view of the road. The suction pad uses a two-step locking mechanism, if it needs refreshing, rinse it with water and allow it to air-dry before use.

Buyers often praise the holder’s ease of use and versatility. Feedback on stability, suction and fit is mixed, and some buyers report difficulty with usability. For a tablet mount, those practical points make matching the device size and choosing a suitable flat mounting surface worthwhile.

Key points

The holder is intended for smartphones and tablets from 4.7 to 11 inches. It is not suitable for 12.9-inch or 13-inch iPad Pro models, the 13-inch iPad Air 2024, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra or S9 Ultra, or laptops. Checking the device’s screen size before choosing a mount helps ensure the clamp is appropriate for the intended tablet.

The 13-inch gooseneck bends to the required position, while the ball joint provides 360° rotation and the arm adjusts up to 180°. Together, these adjustments make it easier to set the screen orientation and viewing angle to suit the driver or passenger. The listed contents are one suction-cup tablet mount and one stabiliser.
