Good magnetic mount

Wireless charging doesn't work with the magnetic plate on the back. But overall a very solid car mount. Only downside is that the included adhesive suction cup dash mount is NOT a rigid mounting plate. Just a thin layer of 3m FILM.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Bad instructions

Doesn't hold large phones securely.

This magnetic mount is not suitable for large phones. I have a Note 8 and the magnet wasn't strong enough to hold the phone in place. Any movement on the car will cause the phone to slip and eventually just fall off. It's important to note that I used a larger magnet (including a small magnet and a large magnet) mounted in the middle of the back of the phone (I was willing to sacrifice the wireless charging feature).

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Vulgarity

OVER TIME A MOUNT THAT REALLY WORKS

Over 50 years of driving and trying to secure CB setups, GPS receivers, a selection of CD players, cassette players, speed cameras and other things that I've tried to attach over the years this REALLY WORKED. I had a fall once but it was probably my fault. It stays horizontal or vertical with no problems, you just have to find a middle ground and get away with one less problem you have while driving, 5 stars againโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

DO NOT BUY. OVERHEATS AND KILLS THE BATTERY.

Do not buy. The magnet is too strong for the iPhone. I have an iPhoneXR and it overheated and drained the battery rendering my phone completely unusable and shutting down. In four hours of minimal usage, my phone went from 100% to 11%. It typically lasts up to 16 hours with moderate to heavy usage. If the magnet is too strong, it will interfere with the electronic components, and that applies to this product. Also, it made my phone incompatible with the wireless charger I bought with the phone.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Nothing

Nice but there are other options

I really needed a phone mount for my car. Driving long distances with the need to navigate made it a necessity. This is my first time working with it and I have mixed feelings. While the overall product is 10/10 for build and stability, I don't recommend it, especially when it comes to other iOttie options. For example, in the summer, in hot places, this mount is just terrible. On many occasions, I was driving home in the sun and my phone went offline because it was sitting directly on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quality

Good magnetic attachment to air vent

Excellent attachment. I've used it extensively over the last two weeks and it works fantastic, iOttie has done it again! I use this mount on an iPhone XS Max with an Otterbox Symmetry case. While the large silver plate inside the case isn't strong enough, the small black plate attached to the outside of my case works just fine. When I'm not using a case, the silver plate sticks very well to the mount. This mount can be problematic with large and heavy phones as the actual air vents may not fitโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stand
Cons
  • Protection

The best cell phone holder I've ever had. It's a magnet!

I bought a rattle holder and a vent holder. This one outshines them both. My phone is in a convenient place and doesn't block any air vents or street views. All is well, but it's a magnet that's really great. It's strong enough to rip the phone out of my fingers when I hold it about half an inch from the mount. The only thing I could point out is that some CD slots can hold it tighter than others. We have two machines and the holder doesn't fit in either CD slot, but it's good enough not toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weigh
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

What I was hoping for: Stand

Use this with an iPhone XR and a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case. First, the clamp on the fan is completely tight. I can't imagine it coming off (although I've only had it a week). I used the smaller of the two magnets installed on the phone inside the case. The magnet is attached to the bottom of the phone, hopefully it doesn't interfere with wireless charging (which I haven't tested yet). The connection between the phone and the mount in portrait mode is solid. I drove through a construction siteโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Accessory
Cons
  • Expensive

Magnetic mount

I bought this mount for my iPhone XS which comes in a Pelican case. At first I was concerned that the case would be too "heavy" to use with this mount, but I took a risk. Since version 2 had two (2) magnets, I felt it made a big difference if my case could be used. It fits snugly and I can feel the pulling/holding force when I attach and detach the phone. The phone slips/slips sideways when I'm on a very bumpy road, but when it's a well paved road I have no problems at all. I think if I had aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Car accessory
Cons
  • No car
