Not suitable for hot environments

I definitely like the design of the mount. And the idea is cool. However, it is not designed to withstand heat. I've been using it for just under a month and it suddenly came loose about a week ago. The glue on the plate has melted, the suction cup has also melted. If it had been July I would have seen it. However, it is now December. The highest temp is around 60ยฐF. Another heat-related issue, not really a complaint, but a limitation I wasn't aware of. Wireless chargers don't work when it's hot. There are safety mechanisms to prevent an explosion. With the battery on, I could see that the device stopped charging once it hit 100ยฐF. It didn't happen often and when it did I could use AC to cool it down. However, it is now winter. If it overheats in the winter, what does it do in the summer? Something to consider. In general, I liked the charger, but technology just does not allow you to use it in a car.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Unfashionable
