Review on 📱 Universal Magnetic Phone Holder 2-Pack - Super Strong Magnet Mount, 360° Adjustable Car Phone Holder for iPhone, Samsung, and Most Cell Phones by Joe Comforti

I was expecting a 2 or 3 star rating for this phone mount. Two of these items arrived in a box the size of a paperback romance novel that weighed next to nothing. When I opened the box I found two fasteners about 2 x 2 ¾ inch (photo attached) and some metal square and round inserts with glue. My first thought was that they wouldn't be able to carry my Pixel 2 in a protective case when it's dash mounted. Spoiler alert... they worked well. I decided to give this product four stars for a number of reasons. Firstly, I don't like using an adhesive backing. This severely limits my options if I ever decide to move the mount elsewhere. I prefer the suction cup version and am willing to pay for it. I am closely monitoring issues with this adhesive and will update this review if any issues arise. Second, the use of self-adhesive metal plates attached to the inside of the case limits the weight that the mount can securely hold. It works great with my Pixel 2 with the plate in the case, but the magnetic attraction is greatly reduced compared to the plate attached to the phone and outside of the case. If I ever convince my wife to let me try her Pixel 5A (bigger and much heavier), I'll change this review. They seem like good value for money but I understand a sticky base would be an advantage. Breakers for some users. I maintain my full opinion on the strength of the magnet which appears to be normal pending further testing or events. It is much more convenient to use for getting in and out of the car than my previous clip type support. UPDATE: I tested the Pixel 5A with a protective case and it worked fine. The 5A phone is much bigger and heavier than the Pixel 2.
