Review on Tech Armor Magnetic Car Mount - Universal Windshield Suction Cup for iPhone, Galaxy, Google, LG & More (Black) by Jon Manning

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You might want to skip this one!

I've used other Tech Armor products in the past and they've been pretty good so I went with this one but you might want to skip this point. Pros: Looks great, small and slim, and sticks to your car's dashboard very well. Cons: It's weak, the phone is always on the move, and it's not meant to be used with larger phones like the iPhone 8 Plus. Also, the magnet isn't strong enough to be used in most cases unless you have a very thin case. We've tried a few different options in our house and couldn't hold it for more than a few minutes. I think our biggest complaint is that it loosens quickly and tends to sag the phone. I feel like I need to constantly tweak it, which I was hoping to avoid with this purchase. Also, I have a suggestion. You need to provide more magnetic disks. The current constellation is not the best. For example, you might come out with a 1.5" x 2" non-adhesive backed wafer and then a very small 1" x 1" adhesive backed wafer. The small plate is worthless and hardly holds a normal phone. The large disc must be used inside the case as it does not have a sticky side. I am currently using an Otterbox case and cannot hold the magnet. I ended up going to the store and buying 3M double sided tape to attach to the back of the case.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I'll write back later
