The good news: Tiktok, Instagram and the like are full of life hacks, there is a simple solution for almost every problem that only requires a few simple steps and is not expensive. In this case, a freezer bag should do the trick – and hold the phone for us while we drive.
But we know that the Internet doesn’t always tell the truth. That’s why we tested the tip for the homemade cell phone holder in our hack check. Does the life hack do what it promises – or is it a flop?
Pull bags over bars
Here’s how to do it: Remove the headrest from the front seat. Put the freezer or fresh food bag with the side where the closed end of the bag is over the two fastening rods of the headrest – so that the bag is pierced in two places. Reattach the support. The resealable end of the bag should point towards the back seat. Now open the fastener and place the cell phone horizontally in the foil. Close the bag again – done.
Conclusion: The hack works perfectly. And another plus point: The touch function of the smartphone screen is usually retained – you can even operate the phone comfortably through the film. However, the whole thing only works for those sitting in the back seat. Anyone sitting next to the driver is out of luck in this case.
