CHOSMOYI Magnetic Leather Sunglass Holder for Car, Sunglasses Clip for Car Visor, Auto Interior Accessories Universal for Different Size Eyeglasses

Why I wanted a visor clip in the first place

I keep a pair of driving sunglasses and a set of readers in the car, and neither lives happily in a cup holder. The center console scratches lenses, the factory overhead bin won’t fit chunky frames, and anything left loose migrates the moment I hit a pothole. I tried spring-loaded visor clips before; they either pinched the temples too hard or lost tension after a few months. That’s why I gave this magnetic visor sunglass clip a shot—and it’s been the most fuss-free solution I’ve tried.

Design and build

This is a compact, faux-leather clip that slides over your sun visor. Mine is the black version. The finish is smooth and soft, so it won’t abrade lenses or snag fabric. It feels sturdier than the typical plastic clamps, with clean stitching and a firm backplate that keeps its shape. At roughly 53 grams, it’s light enough that it doesn’t drag the visor down or make it flop when you swing it out.

What sets it apart is the closure: two embedded magnets create a gentle but definite “clamp” when you insert a temple arm into the slot. Because the magnets are pulling toward each other through the padded faux leather, they sandwich the temple regardless of whether it’s metal or plastic. In other words, you don’t need metal frames for it to work.

A “hidden slot” design guides the temple into place without you having to look, and the outer surface wipes clean with a microfiber cloth. There’s also a slim pocket that’s suitable for non-magnetic items like toll tickets or cash.

Installation and placement

Installing it took seconds. I slid it onto the passenger-side portion of the driver’s visor—far enough from the vanity mirror flap that I can still open the mirror, and far enough from the hinge that the visor can rotate downward without the clip hitting the headliner. The clip fits both thinner and thicker visors I tried (one sedan, one SUV) without wobbling.

A couple of placement tips that helped:

• Mount it on the lower edge of the visor so the glasses hang slightly below the visor line; that makes them easier to grab and keeps them away from the headliner.
• Keep it out of the visor’s pivot area to avoid interference when you swing the visor to the side window.
• If you use a dash camera or radar detector, mock the position to avoid blocking their cables.

Day-to-day use

The best compliment I can give this clip is that I stopped thinking about it after the first drive. I can stow my sunglasses without taking my eyes off the road: the temple finds the slot, the magnet closes, and that’s it. Retrieval is the same—tug and go. The magnet has a helpful “sweet spot”: strong enough that I can hit speed bumps or slam the visor down and the glasses don’t budge, but not so aggressive that I’m fighting it when I need the glasses quickly.

I tested it with:

• Thick acetate sunglasses with wide temples
• Wire-frame aviators with thin temples
• Lightweight readers

All three held securely. Very wide, contoured sport frames with oversized, rubberized temples also fit, though I found inserting those was a touch easier if I approached from the side rather than straight on.

On rough roads, nothing rattled. It’s quiet, and because the clip hugs the visor closely, the glasses don’t swing into the windshield or headliner. Importantly, it didn’t block my sightline. Even in a low-slung seat position, the clip sits above my forward view and doesn’t peek below the visor’s edge.

Retention and safety

Magnetic retention has some advantages over spring clips: it distributes pressure more evenly and is less likely to leave imprints on soft plastic temples. Over a few weeks of use, I didn’t notice any marks on my frames. The magnets also make one-handed operation more reliable—no need to pry open a stiff spring while steering with the other hand.

One caveat: the side pocket is for non-magnetic items. Paper tickets, garage receipts, and cash are fine. I wouldn’t store a hotel key card or a magnetic stripe credit card against a magnetic closure. It’s also worth checking any glasses with magnetic clip-on lenses; I had no issues, but I still keep clip-ons separate out of habit.

Durability and heat

Summer heat is the enemy of car accessories. I left the car parked in the sun on a hot day; the faux leather warmed up but didn’t get tacky or deform. The magnets stayed consistent, and the clip didn’t loosen its grip on the visor. The finish wipes clean easily with a damp cloth or a standard interior cleaner. After a few weeks, I didn’t see fraying or peeled edges.

Because there are no moving springs, there’s less to wear out mechanically. The visor hook itself is a firm, single piece with just enough flex to accommodate different visor thicknesses without chewing into the fabric or leaving dents.

Compatibility notes

• Glasses size: Works with thin and thick temple arms. If your frames have exceptionally stubby temples, you may want to insert a bit deeper to ensure full magnetic contact.
• Visors: Fits every standard visor I tried. On very thick, padded visors, expect a slightly tighter slide-on; once fitted, it stays put.
• Car features: If your visor has an integrated garage-door opener or warning labels you reference often, just place the clip away from those spots.
• Left-handed/right-handed use: The hidden slot is symmetric enough that you can mount it for either orientation. I prefer the slot facing the driver’s seat for easier grab.

Compared to alternatives

• Built-in overhead bins: Great if your car has one sized for your frames. Many aren’t, and they can rattle. The visor clip is closer to hand and quieter.
• Spring-loaded plastic clips: Inexpensive, but they can be too tight on thick temples, too loose on thin ones, and they fatigue over time. The magnetic sandwich here feels more forgiving and consistent.
• Elastic loops and bands: They don’t mar frames, but they’re slower to load/unload and can stretch out. This clip is faster one-handed.

The only thing a visor clip won’t do is hold multiple pairs. If you need a spot for readers and sunglasses, you’ll need two clips or another storage plan. For my setup, one clip at the driver’s visor for sunglasses and a second on the passenger visor for readers worked well.

Minor drawbacks

• It holds a single pair at a time. That’s by design, but worth noting.
• Faux leather can scuff if you drag metal hardware across it repeatedly. A quick, straight insert avoids that.
• Color matching depends on availability. Mine is black and blends well; if you’re particular about interior color harmony, check for options before you commit.

None of these were dealbreakers for me, and the day-to-day convenience outweighed them by a wide margin.

Maintenance and care

There isn’t much to do. Wipe the surface occasionally with a microfiber cloth. If you live near the ocean or in dusty areas, a quick pass with interior cleaner keeps it looking fresh. If you move it between vehicles, slide it off rather than prying at the edges—that preserves the clip’s shape and your visor fabric.

The bottom line

This magnetic visor sunglass clip solves a small but persistent annoyance with a simple, well-executed design. It’s gentle on frames, secure over rough roads, easy to use without looking, and it doesn’t intrude on your sightline. The build quality is solid for the category, and the magnet-based retention feels like a meaningful upgrade over the usual springy plastic clamps.

Recommendation: I recommend it. If you want a tidy, one-handed place to park your glasses that won’t scratch lenses or clutter your console, this clip delivers exactly that with minimal fuss. It’s inexpensive, installs in seconds, and disappears into your routine—precisely what a good car accessory should do.
