3.0 out of 5 starsWorks great for mount, but not for chargine
Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2023
I've been looking for an easy to install car mount, and this is a pretty good one. It deserves a 5 star, except for one fatal flaw (will discuss in next paragraph). The mount is easy to install just as advertised. You need a flat vent to screw the piece in. If you have a round vent (like in the old Saturn Ions) then this won't work. So buy a different car! The magnet piece that sticks to your phone is stuck on there, and will be stuck there FOREVER. You'd have to ply it off with a flat head if you ever want to remove it. So word of caution, do not stick it directly to your phone. Stick it to your case. I tried this method: left the sticker protector on, and placed the magnet between my phone and case. This way it's not stuck to anything. I tried sticking the sticky part on the inside of the case, but that was not magnetic enough to stick to the car piece. Eventually, I got sick of the magnet piece bulging my case, so I stuck it to the phone case. If I ever wanted a new case, then I need more of these magnets.
Now to the downside. This magnet interferes with my wireless chargers. Regardless of what they said up above. I've posted a photo of the charger that I use at my desk and it DOES NOT work with the magnet. So I have to remove the case and charge my phone that way. Ridiculously annoying.
Overall as a mount, this is fine. I just wish they'd sort out the magnet issue.
