COMPATIBLE WITH STEELIE PHONE MOUNTING SYSTEMS FOR HANDS-FREE VIEWING - With the Magnetic Phone Socket adhered, your device can magnetically attach to Steelie Mounts like the Dash Mount, Windshield Mount, Vent Mount, Tabletop Stand, or HobKnob Handle (sold separately). FOR NEW OR ADDITIONAL DEVICES TO YOUR STEELIE MOUNTING SYSTEM - No need to buy a whole new Steelie Kit when you upgrade your Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, or other phone. Or, if you have multiple phones you would like to use with your Steelie Mount, simply purchase this additional Magnetic Phone Socket. POWERFUL, HIGH-STRENGTH MAGNET - The neodymium magnet and silicone center create a strong grip and smooth glide when paired with Steelie Mounts or other metal surfaces like your refrigerator or toolbox. UNIVERSAL, SECURE ATTACHMENT TO PHONE OR CASE - The included 3M VHB adhesive secures the Magnetic Phone Socket to most any Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, or other phone or rigid case. It will stay on securely as long as you want but can be removed. SAFE FOR USE WITH PHONES - The powerful magnet will NOT damage your mobile device. It can also be paired with GPS and MP3 devices.

Better than most mounts as the phone can be rotated or removed easily.

Great product, good value for money but wish it was cheaper haha. Holds the phone well when you're on the go. Be careful when inserting the part that is on the back of your phone. Too high or too low will make it impossible for you to balance the phone on the steel ball. That's pretty easy to find out beforehand, but just FYI. Also, the sticky layer that holds it in place stays on the truck's dashboard for about a month and then falls off. I put super glue on it and it's like new. But if you…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Better for big phones but not great

So I got the original steel ball and magnet but they weren't strong enough for big phones. So I got this one, it's strong, very strong and it holds my phone perfectly. The problem is that it's so strong that I pulled the ball out of the car the first time. Glue scraped off, tried stronger glue. It didn't work either. So I switched to gorilla glue. It works fine for a while but the magnet is so strong that I have to pull it away from the sphere so hard I end up tearing it off the dashboard. So I

Holds large phones in place

This removable magnet does exactly what it's designed to do. I have a Steelie mount to mount my phone on my truck's dashboard. The magnet that came with the mount couldn't hold my phone. As long as it stayed attached to the mount, my phone would slide down the ball and just get stuck there. This very large magnet will hold my phone in whatever position I place it. Make sure the magnet is attached directly to the back of the phone or to the hard plastic part of the phone case. If you have an…

  • Long delivery time

Love this little magnet on my second

I didn't realize how much I depended on this little magnet. I just upgraded my phones and am now buying new cases. I realized I had to order a replacement for my new case. At the moment I can't connect the phone to the car to set up GPS/music. I use this magnet to attach my phone to the fridge when I cook a lot. I put it on my SUV all the time which drives my husband crazy because he thinks I'll forget it. and most of my garage/front doors I also fasten when I get on the bus or whatever when I…

  • It's amazing

Best in class by far

I am so happy with these for my phone that I have started buying them for a variety of things. The magnet is incredibly strong. I wouldn't hesitate to stick that on the tailgate and go 70 mph just to prove it. Since smooth metal is slippery on smooth metal contact, I was concerned it would be a poor dash mount choice. However, the design uses a rubber friction pad in the center of the disc to keep it in place. Mine didn't move off-road either. This is genius. And the little disc is so invisible

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Easy to lose magnet

This Steelie model I bought for my wife's phone case came with a steel plate and a separate magnet ring. The problem with this style design is that the magnet on the back of the ring has less attraction than the ring itself. This allows the plate to be attached to the back of the phone case while the ring remains detachable from the steel plate. If the ring is attached to something metallic, it will stay with that object as long as you remove your phone from it and walk away. We had this damn…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Flaws

Have been using it for at least 2 1/2 years.

I've been using this for several years and would recommend it to anyone who uses their phone a lot in the car. The air vent mount is ideal for vehicles that do not have a smooth surface on the dashboard to mount the mount on the dashboard. Or if you want something without glue or tape and it's portable. Pros: Ease of use. PORTABLE - You can easily carry it from car to car. (Better than a dash mount which exposes the phone to the hot sun shining through the windshield.) Durable vent clip…

Pros
  • Stand
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Car Accessories are a Game Changer

We've used Niteize FreeMount mounts for our iPhones in the car before, but to be honest they've worn out over time. (The internal gears had so many cycles before they just fell out). Eventually I just got tired of buying replacements for them and when I saw this solution as an alternative to Revain I decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I took the plunge! So much easier and there's nothing left to break. I will say that on my iPhone 12 mini it was difficult to find a place for a metal plate…

Works as intended for car accessories

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…

  • Cell phones and accessories
