Review on 📱 Nite Ize Metal Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket - Additional Magnet for Enhanced Steelie Phone Mounting Systems by Brandon Wynen

This review is for the Nite Ize Steelie Orbiter Magnetic Socket, a low profile portable magnetic car air vent mount for smartphones. Pros: Never once did my heavy, large-screen smartphone accidentally detach from the mount. The adhesive on the mount holds very well - make sure to clean the surface of the phone case before installation. Cons: Doesn't always hold in place the mount (the mount is designed to attach to its system steel balls, and the phone will sometimes adjust the angle itself while driving if you hit bumps). Where I installed it, this causes the power cord to put undue pressure on the phone's power connector (in this case, the bottom of the phone is against the dashboard). Note: Cannot be used as the middle part between the ball mount and the flat metal plate on the phone case. At first I just wanted to put a metal plate on top of my phone case - place it on top of the air vent attachment ball and let the magnet be the centerpiece that holds everything together. However, the design of the mount ensures that the magnet is far enough away from the sticky side that it does not have sufficient magnetic properties on the sticky side. In hindsight I think this is a good thing as a strong magnetic field directly in front of your phone will likely interfere with the phone's various sensors and antennas.
