Review on eSamcore Wireless Charging Compatible Phone Metal Plate – Magnet Sticker for Magnetic Car Phone Mounts [2-Pack] by Noah Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Gimme those electrons!

This review is for 2 metal plates for Samsung Note 8 wireless charging and Scoche magnetic dashboard mount. TLDR: wireless charging works! As long as you mount it OUTSIDE the case it will stay on the magnetic mount with ease if you have a decent mount. I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the reviews that it would work with a wireless charger. When the Note 8 came out, I bought a cheap case that only protected the back and bought another Schoche dash mount kit. I've always liked these mounts, and the large metal plate that came with them was clearly not designed for wireless charging. I even tried to buy a special Schoche wireless charger, but the magnet was too weak for my driving style (track, car, etc.) and the phone just fell off the mount, so I went back to the metal plate. I had a metal plate for the last 2 years until I stumbled across this one. I used to have to remove the case to use the wireless charging feature. Of course, getting dressed and undressed was easy. But over time the case wore out and eventually started to warp/crack at the edge. So I found a new case and started looking for another metal plate and stumbled upon this one. I said what the hell and gave him a chance. If I didn't like it, I'd order another Scoche metal plate and give in to wireless charging. I only wore it for about a week but it managed to stay on my scoche mount in my car. I've been going through fast tight corners, like autocross or on the track, the phone stays on and doesn't fall. There were a few bumps on his truck, everything is on fire. Of course I decided to put the two metal plates on the OUTSIDE of my phone as suggested in the product description. Should I have used both plates? no I wanted? Of course why not. Am I happy and content? Why, yes me! (For now) Will I buy this again if I get a new phone? Most likely, if there is no bigger or better. so take it You won't be disappointed if you follow the instructions and install the panels from the OUTSIDE of the case unlike some others. Common sense folks, come on. Independent verification not affiliated with the company and not obtained for free. ("Nintendo, send me free stuff!" - Rick Sanchez)

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
