Review on WixGear Universal Magnetic Car Mount Holder for Cell Phones - Swift-Snap Windshield and Dashboard Mount by Jeremy Tang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Use with a small to medium sized phone

While this is probably a suitable mount for a smaller phone or certain types of vehicles (I'll explain in a bit), we unfortunately ran into all the gotchas listed in the guides. . The first. The Samsung Galaxy S5 cannot be used with this mount unless it is removed from an external case. This means you cannot use it with an Otter Box or any other case as the magnet is too weak. He barely holds the phone with just the phone. So if you want to use a big phone, you can't back it up either. Difficult decision there. Second, it wasn't possible to fix this thing on the dash. The instructions said it needed cleaning and drying and blah blah blah and we followed them but couldn't get it to seal and hold. My husband ended up sticking it to the windshield. And since he was dying to use it while driving, he removed the protective cell phone case we bought. So ultimately it's not a 'bad' mount, it just seems like it doesn't work well with some types of dash materials and big phones.

Pros
  • Constant test results
