Mascom International stocks the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder at KSh 900, brand new and sealed. It is a black and chrome cradle with side grips and bottom feet, mounted on a telescopic arm above a suction-cup base that fits a dashboard or windscreen. The box promises single-handed operation and a head that rotates freely through 360°. Because the grips hold the phone itself, the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder needs no magnets, special case or metal plate. You will find it at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for drivers across Kenya who rely on Google Maps or Waze, the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder keeps the screen where your eyes already are. Ride-hailing drivers on Bolt, Uber and Little juggle trip requests, while sales teams and NGO field staff follow unfamiliar routes outside Nairobi. A phone lying on the passenger seat forces you to look down. The cradle fixes that: the phone sits upright, with grips on both sides and feet underneath, and you can reach it with one hand. Fix the route before you pull off, since holding a phone while driving is an offence.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded holders with no warranty, Mascom International backs the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder with six months of cover and a walk-in store. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a grip cradle is the simplest choice when several people with different phones share one car. If your phone has MagSafe magnets and you prefer one-motion mounting, the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount costs KSh 1,300. Test the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder with your phone at the counter, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder
What is the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder price in Kenya?
The Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder sells for KSh 900 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. The price includes the holder and a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects. You can pay on arrival when it is delivered, or pay at the counter after testing it. It costs the same as its series sibling, the Amaya APH-12 Car Phone Holder, and KSh 400 less than the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount, which holds phones by magnet instead of grips.
What does single-handed operation mean on the Amaya APH-13?
Single-handed operation, as printed on the Amaya APH-13 box, means you can seat the phone in the cradle and take it out using one hand. That matters at a petrol station or a pickup point, when your other hand holds keys, a bag or a coffee. The side grips close on the edges of the phone and the bottom feet carry its weight. Ask us to demonstrate the action at Mascom International, so you know exactly how it feels before you buy.
Do I need a magnetic case or metal plate for the Amaya APH-13?
No, the Amaya APH-13 holds the phone with side grips and bottom feet, so it needs no magnets, metal plate or special case. That makes it a practical pick for Android phones without MagSafe, for older handsets, and for cars shared by family members with different phones. Larger phones or bulky rugged cases may sit differently in the grips, so bring your phone to Mascom International to check the fit, or send its model name on WhatsApp first.
How does the Amaya APH-13 compare with the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount?
The Amaya APH-13 grips the phone mechanically for KSh 900, while the Amaya APH-40 holds it by magnet for KSh 1,300. The APH-13 uses side grips, bottom feet and a telescopic arm; the APH-40 uses a magnetic ring head, a folding zinc alloy arm and a vacuum base with a lock ring. Choose the APH-13 if your phone has no magnets and you want no extra case. Choose the APH-40 if your phone has MagSafe and you mount it many times a day.
Will the Amaya APH-13 suction cup hold in Kenyan heat and dust?
The Amaya APH-13 suction cup holds on a clean, smooth dashboard or windscreen, but dust and heat are its main enemies in Kenya. Murram roads upcountry leave fine dust on dashboards, so wipe the spot before pressing the cup down. Cars parked in the sun in Mombasa, Kisumu or a Nairobi parking lot heat up, and that heat slowly weakens suction. Reseat the cup every few weeks during hot months. Textured dashboards may need a thorough clean, while smooth glass usually gives the firmest seal.
Can I fit the Amaya APH-13 on the windscreen as well as the dashboard?
Yes, the suction-cup base of the Amaya APH-13 fits either a dashboard or a windscreen, and the telescopic arm extends to bring the phone closer to you. On a windscreen, mount it low in a corner so it stays clear of your view of the road; traffic police on Waiyaki Way and Thika Road watch for drivers distracted by phones. On a deep dashboard, extend the arm so the screen sits within easy reach. Rotate the cradle through 360° for portrait or landscape.
Who should buy the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder, and who should skip it?
The Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder suits budget-minded drivers, families sharing one car, and anyone whose phone lacks built-in magnets. Taxi drivers, logistics coordinators and university students driving a parent's car to Strathmore or Kenyatta University fit well. Skip it if you own a MagSafe phone and want one-touch mounting; the Amaya APH-40 Magnetic Car Phone Mount suits that better. Glovo and boda boda riders should skip it as well and look at the Amaya APH-22 Bike Phone Holder for handlebars.
Is the Amaya APH-13 good for Uber and Bolt drivers?
Yes, the Amaya APH-13 gives Uber, Bolt and Little drivers a fixed spot for the driver app and navigation at KSh 900. The cradle holds the phone upright, so trip requests and turn prompts stay readable without lifting the handset. Single-handed operation helps when you remove the phone at the end of a shift. Pair it with a car charger for long days, because the holder itself does not charge. Keep the volume up for voice directions so your eyes stay on the road.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Grip
- Cradle with side grips — two arms close on the edges of the phone, holding it upright without magnets or adhesive.
- Bottom feet — support the phone's weight from below, so it does not slide down the cradle on bumpy roads.
- Single-handed operation — printed on the box; seat and remove the phone using one hand while the other stays free.
- 360° free rotation — turn the cradle to portrait for the driver app or to landscape for a wide map view.
- Telescopic arm — extends and retracts to bring the screen closer or tuck it back toward the dashboard.
Compatibility
- Grips the phone directly, so it suits Android phones and iPhones alike without MagSafe magnets or a metal plate.
- Takes a phone in a case, though bulky rugged cases may change the fit, so test yours in store.
- Fits a dashboard or a windscreen, giving a choice of mounting spot in saloons, hatchbacks, SUVs and vans.
- Suits cars shared by several drivers, since any phone that fits the grips mounts without extra accessories.
- Bring a large phone to the counter to confirm the grips open wide enough before you pay.
Build and Finish
- Black and chrome finish — a dark body with bright accents that sits quietly in most car interiors.
- Suction-cup base — a round cup that seals against glass or a smooth dashboard without screws or tape.
- Telescopic arm — a sliding section lets one holder suit both shallow and deep dashboards.
- Rotating joint at the cradle — lets the head turn freely while the base stays fixed in place.
- Removable without residue — the suction cup lifts away cleanly, which suits hired, leased and company cars.
Installation and Care
- Wipe the glass or dashboard with a clean cloth first, because dust stops the suction cup from sealing fully.
- Press the cup firmly onto the surface, then set the arm length and cradle angle you want.
- Mount it low on a windscreen so the phone never blocks your view of the road or mirrors.
- Reseat the cup now and then in hot weather, since heat in parked cars weakens suction over time.
- Set your route on Google Maps or Waze before moving, and leave the phone in the cradle while driving.
Inclusions
- The holder itself — cradle, telescopic arm and suction-cup base, brand new and sealed in retail packaging.
- No charging function — the holder grips the phone only, so use a separate car charger and cable for power.
- No magnets, plates or cases required, so nothing extra needs buying before you mount the phone.
- Covered by Mascom International's 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use.
- Try it with your own phone before paying, at our Kimathi Street shop in Nairobi CBD.
Package Contents
The retail box holds the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder: the black and chrome cradle with its side grips and bottom feet, the telescopic arm and the suction-cup base. Nothing else is listed, so a car charger and cable for powering your phone on long drives are separate purchases. Because the grips hold the phone directly, you do not need a magnetic case or metal plate to start using it. Message us on WhatsApp to confirm your phone fits before ordering.
Warranty
Mascom International covers the Amaya APH-13 Car Phone Holder with a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects under normal use, including faults in the grips, rotating joint, telescopic arm and suction cup. Bring any claim to the Mascom International service desk in Nairobi CBD.
