Wall and Kitchen Phone Holders

A place for the phone on the wall

A wall holder gives the phone a fixed home off the worktop and the table, at a height where you can see it. In the kitchen it holds a recipe or a video at eye level, away from flour and splashes. In a hallway or by the door it is a place to charge the phone and leave it. In a bathroom or a garage it keeps a podcast or a video going while your hands are busy. Some holders are made for one place, others go anywhere with a flat surface.

The kinds of wall and kitchen holder

• Stick-on holders fix with an adhesive pad to a wall, a tile, a cupboard side or the fridge. No drilling, though the pad can lift paint or wallpaper when it comes off. More are under adhesive mounts.
• Screw-on holders and shelves fix with screws for a permanent place, some with a slot for the charging cable.
• Magnetic holders have a magnet the phone clicks onto. MagSafe-compatible holders suit an iPhone 12 or later, though not the iPhone 16e, which has no magnets. Any other phone needs a magnetic case or a magnetic ring stuck to its back or case first: see magnetic phone cases.
• Suction holders grip smooth tiles, glass and mirrors, and come off without a mark. See suction cup phone holders and mats.
• Under-cupboard holders hang the phone or a tablet beneath a kitchen wall cupboard, at reading height over the worktop.

How to choose one

Look at the surface first. Adhesive and suction need a smooth, clean, dry surface: glazed tile, glass, gloss paint or a metal fridge door. Textured paint, bare plaster and wallpaper do not hold them well, and a screw-on holder is better there.

Then the place. In a kitchen, keep the holder away from the heat over the hob and the spray from the sink. In a bathroom, steam and splashes reach most of the room, and a phone is only as water-resistant as its maker says. The guide to waterproof pouches, cases and IP ratings explains the ratings, and waterproof pouches keep a phone sealed. If it will charge on the wall, check the cable reaches a socket without hanging across the worktop.
