Review on πŸš— 2 Pack Magnetic Phone Car Mount by FLOVEME - Hands-Free Universal Holder for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy - Air Vent Mount for Safe GPS Navigation by Rushabh Gonsales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best mount for big and heavy phones, *nearly perfect

I have a huge Samsung Note 9 in an Otterbox Defender case making it 6.75 x 3.5 x 5.5 inches. Clip mount, it barely fits and if you run over a bump it flips over and it's almost impossible to get it back in the clip mid-movement. I gave up the clip when I saw a friend with a magnetic one. magnetic holder The magnet wasn't strong enough to hold the phone in the case with the metal plate, so I had to crazy stick one on the outside of this silicone case. It fell off after the phone overheated and the glue melted. still didn't have a strong grip and would fall off if I hit a bump. Then I realized why not use two? I was surprised to see that so many magnetic car mounts are now sold in pairs, I think for this one reason. These clips barely go into the vent, but the unique shape allows them to be locked in place and strengthen their position when riding over bumps. I use both clamps and place both metal plates under the body to check. I was shocked that the magnets are strong enough to hold the phone in place even through my thick case! This design is awesome and you get an even stronger grip by using both on the same phone. ** UPDATE: This is not ideal. Since the clips can only be attached to the air vent side by side, it means they can only hold my phone horizontally. The clips fall out when I tug on my phone carelessly, and unless carefully secured so they're fully retracted, they slip when they hit a bump. It would be ideal if the magnetic part was a giant square that could still hold the phone, which would block the vent. However, the L-shape of this clip is key to its performance.
