Best phone mounts for PlayStation 4

With a phone mount, you can play no matter where you are.

PlayStation 4 is a beloved console because it has hundreds of excellent games, access to movies through Sony's store, and plenty of apps that let you get at the content you want to enjoy. What if you're not able to snag the television from your roomie, though? Well, if for whatever reason you can't play on that sweet big screen, you can utilize the popular PlayStation 4 Remote Play feature by taking advantage of a clip that mounts your phone to your controller.

These clips aren't just for playing directly from your phone either. You can use them to help film Let's Play videos, use them as a second screen for tips and tricks, or for specific items for a walkthrough. No matter what reason you have for wanting a phone mount, we've collected the best ones to get the job done. Keep reading for all the details!

Nyko is a well known name when it comes to accessories for video game accessories, and they're the first phone mount we want to tell you about today. Nyko's smart clip attaches easily to your phone without getting in the way of your lightbar, buttons, or the touchpad. It also avoids all of the ports on your DualShock 4 controller so that you can easily plug in to charge without any hassle.

This clip is super affordable at only $13.49, and is built to be usable by any phone — Android, iPhone, Windows Phone, or Blackberry — up to 3.5" wide.

Megadream 180-degree Android clip

Having a phone mount that is versatile and able to move is key when you are playing on a small screen, and that is precisely what Megadream delivers. The mount has 180-degrees of rotation which means you can tweak where your phone is sitting while you game. This can be particularly handy if you're using your phone as a second screen with tips, or a walkthrough while your game itself plays on your television.

It's made of fairly sturdy plastic that avoids all buttons and ports, with knobs that give you that ease of adjustment when getting started. You can pick one up for $13.99 on Android, and it's well worth the few bucks you'll spend on it.

While none of the clips we're talking about today are going to break the bank, if you're a bargain hunter than the wireless phone clip holder is exactly what you're looking for. It's a fairly sturdy clear plastic clip made to hold your phone, and it's available for just $7.90.

It is a bit flimsier feeling in your hand than some other mounts, but it still clips onto your controller well and is sturdy enough to hold your phone without any issues. It's got 270-degrees of rotation available so it can easily be moved to where you want it.
