Description of BENKS Magnetic Phone Holder: Flexible Mobile Cell Mount for Home & Office Use

【Compatible with most phones】Strong magnet up to 4500 gauss ensures firm attachment for most phones that weight below 10 oz (285 grams) like iPhone, Samsung galaxy, Nokia, LG etc. Note: Tablets are not recommended to use with this holder since they may be too heavy for it. Thick phone cases may weaken the magnetic attraction so your phone can't be held firmly. 【One Hand Operation】The magnet plate (included) pasted on the back of your cell phone/case is magnetically attracted by the head of this holder. Easy to put on and take off the phone from this gooseneck mount with just one hand. 【Flexible arm】29.5-inch long arm with flexible metal covered by soft PVC can be adjusted to hold the phone at different positions. Bend the arm to “S” shape and adjust to a position at your convenient. Please try and find sturdy positions. The more the bend, the sturdier. Due to the flexible nature of this holder, it's normal to shake a little bit when you touch the phone. 【360° Rotation】The magnetic head can be rotated in 360 degrees and fixed at any angle. View your device at any angle or orientation while cooking, eating or lying on the bed. 【Firm & Adjustable Base】With positioning screw, the base clip tightly holds desks up to 3.15 inch thick. Soft silicone on both sides of the clip is non-slippery and protects the clamped furniture from scratches.

A little loose in the cradles

The cable wasn't strong enough to hold my iPhone X without losing shape. Very disappointing but it didn't touch the ground just a few inches below where it was originally placed. Need a stronger hand

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • There are cons

iPad hit me in the face

Use it to watch videos on your iPad without having to hold the iPad in your hands. To update. The holding magnet couldn't hold the iPad mini for more than a day. He fell and hit me in the face. Still works great with phone and lighter stuff. I will try to buy the best steel plate with the best glue. All in all, definitely a great product.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Compatibility

Makes my Zoom classes easier!

Thank you for making my life easier! I teach at Zoom and needed a phone holder to use in place of a document camera (my third Zoom device). It's perfect - my phone is secured with a strong magnet and I can position it however I want. Just plug it in and charge my phone. The screw for the table has been thought through down to the smallest detail - it looks minimalistic and without ugly accessories.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Updates available

Doesn't last 6 months

I bought it in August but it broke in January. Products that cannot last 6 months are completely useless. I haven't moved it much. It is usually placed in a spot where it will be left for the rest of the day and then removed from the road. Wear was minimal, so a complete breakdown was a shock. Be sure to find another product that doesn't break completely at the base before the age of 6 months.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • unreliable

Not strong enough for Moto G5 Plus

Tried it on my computer desk with Moto G5 Plus (listed on GSM Arena weighing 155g or 5.47oz). The flexible wire section of this holder does not hold its shape and does not hold the phone without significant flexing or play. In addition, the magnetic part for holding the phone wasn't very strong, making the connection to the phone weak and unreliable. It's really long and the clip fits well on my desk's thick steel leg, but the holder itself just couldn't hold the phone securely.

Pros
  • Compatible with most phones
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Great but need more magnetic power!

Love it but now my 7" Stylo 6 is slipping off (with the protective cap on). It works great with the cap off but I don't like taking it off and replacing it often. The magnet just isn't strong enough, to keep large gadgets hidden. More magnetism would be a big improvement. Other than that, it's great. Much better than a tension clamp. They'll break eventually. It's great! Update: I've finally figured out that the simplest solution is to use a pad (sold separately) directly on the back of the…

Pros
  • Flexible arm
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Strong magnet! A little short and sagging

A very strong magnet that managed to attract the metal circle on the back of the built in phone case. Don't worry about your phone falling on your face. It's pretty short. Getting the phone where you want it to be can be difficult. Another 6 inches could have been added and that would have made a world of difference. The grip is solid, but the weight of your phone will drag it down. The holder needs to be bent to keep the handle from sagging a bit. That's why a shorter size makes a big…

Pros
  • One hand operation
Cons
  • Almost never
