Review on πŸ“² ZC GEL Wireless Car Charger Mount, Qi Fast Charging Auto-Clamp Windshield Dashboard & Vent Car Phone Holder for All QI-Enabled Phones by Corey Vaz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Thoughtful design but not fully compatible with my phone

Although my Motorola Droid Turbo 2 phone works with several other wireless chargers I've tried and the one I currently use, does it work with this ZC GEL wireless car charger/holder ONLY if I put a pad under the phone's bottom bracket to lift it about 1/8 inch. Finally, lifting the phone centers it over the charging coil and prevents the motorized grips from pressing the volume rocker on my phone, thus muting the sound. I couldn't find any other way to adjust the bottom support for the phone other than routing it. This mount offers both suction and vent mounts. It uses a smart sensor to automatically electrically grab the phone when placed on the mount and release it with a single touch. BUT. It won't charge my phone until I add a spacer to elevate the phone. In my case I used an adhesive backed rubber pad attached with an elastic band to guide the phone's bottom bracket and raise it to the correct height to charge my phone. Telephone without cable. Once I make this adjustment, charging starts quickly and the grips don't block my phone's volume controls. When everything finally works, this will be an extremely practical car phone holder. Since this mount requires an outlet to both grip and release the phone, it does not release my phone unless it is plugged into my car's 12v charger. My suggestion if you buy this mount would be to keep the packaging material so you can send it back for a refund if your phone isn't compatible. Mine was ONLY compatible with height adjustment.

Pros
  • Thick body, convenient and fast charging
Cons
  • unreliable
