Description of Heavy-Duty Magnetic CD Slot Car Mount for Cell Phones, Smartphones, Phablets, and Tablets - Mountek nGroove Snap+

Universal - Firmly mounts smartphones, GPS units, and lightweight tablets, incl. iPhone 4/5/5C/5S/6/6+/6 Plus, iPad Mini, iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/S5, Note 2/3, HTC One, Motorola Turbo Moto X, Nokia Lumia, Google Nexus, Amazon Fire, Nexus 5/6/7. Comes ready to use with a heavy-duty, sturdy grip thanks to a rubber-reinforced METAL insertion blade. Built like a tank but quite simple, the installation of the Snap+ blade system involves just the turning of a thumb knob. Easy Installation - Insert directly into a front-loading CD player slot and still easily control your device from the driver's seat. Or insert into a dashboard groove to keep your CD player accessible. No suction cups, no clips, no screw, no glue. Flexible - Sophisticated ball joint adapter allows for fine-tuning your display angle for maximum viewing comfort while driving. How is it different from Mounter's popular groove Snap3? The Snap+ was specifically designed to support the weight of today's larger devices, such as the iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini, and iPad Air.

The best on the market The best in accessories

The product works exactly as I need it to. When I want to use my phone hands-free, I just attach it to the holder. Other mounts I've had require 2 hands to attach and remove. The mount has a magnet strong enough to hold my Samsung Galaxy 4 in the Otter Box Defender case. I put the metal plate that comes with the mount (comes with 3 metal plates) into the rubber case and it holds my phone perfectly. It probably won't hold an iPad and probably won't hold an iPad mini. I haven't experienced any…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I have switched to this standard latch 2 and it is much better. Improvements I've noticed: 1. Fewer parts. Snap 2 consisted of two separate parts for the snap mechanism and this is one solid piece with cut outs to separate the parts2. The metal plate where the screw meets the surface and the metal-reinforced plastic ensure it won't loosen or bend over time. I live in Florida and park my car outside most of the day so my Snap 2 gets quite warped and warped from the combination of pressure and…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Requires socket

Firstly, if your car can use this kind of magnetic CD slot mount, please buy it. They are amazing. However, I recommend a different brand as it is not "heavier" than the usual other brands. I ordered this model - Mountek nGroove Snap + - for my wife's car. I have had a competing InifiniApps Slyde CD mount product for over a year and am completely satisfied with it and would recommend it to anyone. It's a bit small, however, but snug depending on how their dashboard is designed. I opted for the…

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Not bad

Good product but needs improvement.

The customer service from this company was excellent. The first one I got had a few issues. The point where the mount attaches to the ball on the mount became VERY loose, to the point where the phone tilted all the way down whenever it was on the mount. Customer service said they are aware of this issue and are in the process of overhauling the mount. When everything was ready, they sent me a new mount. The mount stopped detaching and leaning down. My second complaint is that the metal plates…

Pros
  • Decent work
Cons
  • Hard to say

I had all 3 mounts (Snap 3, Snap+ and clip model) I thought Snap+ would offer more magnets for a stronger hold as they are advertised as the "heavy version" and recommended for larger, heavier items. Of course I assumed that this meant a stronger bond between the object and the magnet. However, I was wrong. The only difference between the two versions is the CD holder. Snap+ seems to be more durable, however this will go unnoticed on most devices (I have an iPhone 6 and Snap 3 and Snap+ offer…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Minor issues

Maybe I'll buy one for the wife too.

Just received this yesterday and my first thoughts are money well spent. The mount itself feels comfortable, not too heavy but not too light either. My car (Hyundai Veloster) is currently in the shop so I'll update when I get it back, but the Scion xB's wife has no locking issues. The blades that fit into the CD slot are the perfect length and won't cause any problems with the CD player as it thinks you're holding the CD by the edge all the time. I'm not sure if mounting causes problems when…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Nothing

Great in some ways, not in others

I bought the Mountek Snap+ because I was fed up with the suction cups and adhesives that come with autodocks. After researching other similar products and reading many reviews, I took the risk of using Snap+ with its many promising features. The Mountek is well built, I didn't feel like it was cheaply made. It also installed easily in my 15 Ford Focus ST CD slot. The biggest advantage for me was that it could fit a phablet. I've been using this mount for about 9 months with a Nexus 6 case with…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
