It's common for modern cars to have a navigation system, and some cars even come equipped with drink holders, wireless charging trays for smartphones, and even hooks to hang plastic shopping bags.
There is nothing to worry about if you don't add goods later, but if it's a slightly old used car, or even an imported car, it may not even have a drink holder. By the way, the car I got about half a year ago is exactly that.
The latest imported cars often come with a monitor compatible with Apple CarPlay, so if you plug it in, navigation will not be a problem, but there is no such kind of equipment. In that case, smartphone holders will come into play, but the smartphone holders at car parts stores are so expensive that you may wonder, "Why do you do this?" As a thrifty writer, I headed for a 100-yen shop.
This time, I got 7 types of smartphone holders at a 100 yen shop. I hear that there are many recent 100-yen goods that cannot be underestimated. I tried to verify whether the smartphone holder of the 100 yen shop has satisfactory performance. I bought it with my own money and tested it on my own car, so I will deliver it without any conjecture.

[Image gallery] Thorough review of smartphone holders that can be purchased at 100-yen shops!!
I bought 7 types of smartphone holders at the major 100 yen shop "Daiso".
(From the top left) ・Smartphone holder clip type for car use (Green Ornament Co., Ltd.) 220 yen ・Smartphone holder magnetic type for car use (Daiso Sangyo Co., Ltd.) 330 yen ・Smartphone holder for car use (Daiso Sangyo Co., Ltd.) ) 330 yen ・Smartphone stand - free neck type- (Green Ornament Co., Ltd.) 110 yen (from bottom left) ・Smartphone holder for car (Daiso Sangyo Co., Ltd.) 110 yen ・Smartphone holder for car (Echo Kinzoku Co., Ltd.) 110 yen Yen/magnet type smartphone holder (Daiso Sangyo Co., Ltd.) 220 yen
Prices range from 110 yen to 330 yen, with a total of 1430 yen. The four in the box are the type to be attached to the dashboard. The bottom three are the type that plugs into the louver. I thought I could get by with 2 or 3 types, but there were more types than I expected, so I was at a loss, so I bought everything I could find.
First of all, this time I will only verify the feeling of use in my car. By the way, the car is Citroen DS3 Sports Chic made in 2013. Although it has the stock suspension, the ride quality is not very good.
As a premise, I would like to mention that this is the perfect vehicle for testing the durability of the smartphone holder.
First, wipe the surface to be attached with a parts cleaner and attach the smartphone holders. While changing the mounting position of the smartphone in order, we will verify the vibration durability, the degree of shaking, usability, etc.
