CARMOUNT F1 Dashboard Car Mount | Magnetic Phone Holder for Car, Ultra Strong 8X N52 Magnets, 360° Rotation, Universal Dash Mount for All Phones (2-Pack) | Car Mount Magnet

I have a 2013 Lexus GS450 so there's not many options for mounting other than textured leather. This was able to not only stick to the the textured leather, but remain there after months of rigorous use. I like to deliver food as a second job so I have to pull my phone on and off the magnetic mount A LOT. Every time I pick up an order, and every time I deliver and order my phone comes with me, so this thing is constantly being abused, and despite all that, I've rechecked the connection to the textured leather (which, btw, the instructions will tell you NOT to use as a mounting spot) repeatedly and somehow it still holds up.At first I bought one of the cheaper competitors and used the exact same textured leather spot. I had to use both mounts in the box because they both held up for about a week before they started to fall off. Eventually the weight of the phone would cause the adhesive to start peeling away from the textured leather. Now, to be fair, I wasn't supposed to use textured leather as a mounting point, so I imagine if I had smooth plastic, these things would fare better.The adhesive on the Carmounts is able to overcome this limitation. There's something about the adhesive material that's superior to the generic 3M adhesive the cheap knockoffs use. Not only that, but the swivel feel on the Carmount is much more effortless and refined compared to the cheaper mounts.Some additional context: I originally bought a Carmount years ago for my previous car (which sadly got totaled), but throughout its 2 year life, the mount never budged and held up to very strenuous driving and all sorts of extreme weather with the same delivery driver abuse (constantly pulling phone off the mount dozens of times a day). I decided with my new car to cheap out because I figured how hard could it be to properly replicate this product. Turns out, none of the competitors can get it just right. In this market the Carmount certainly feels pretentiously overpriced, until you realize it's priced that way for a reason. It's just a more premium product. I imagine if you have a better interior, you can get away with going cheap, but if you have a challenging situation, definitely opt for Carmount.

By far this is the best phone or iPad car mount I have ever purchased! My phone nor mt iPad does not move event while driving over bumps on a long-distance driving experience. I will be purchasing another variation of this product again. Good price, works superb, and is very easy to install.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These things are amazing. The magnet power is impressive.

Easy to install. Holds on strong. Recommend to anyone that needs a easy, simple, not bulking phone mount for their vehicle. Rated a 4 because I have an otter box phone case that is two pieces, rubber around the phone and hard plastic shell. I put the magnet on the inside of the plastic. It holds fine, if you get into the right spot when putting it in the mount. I wish the magnet was a still bit strong. I am not a fan of having things in the outside of my phone case. I like the slim sleek looks and looks like it was made that way.

Works as advertised, simple to install

A++ and ten stars of quality! Easy installation and one of the best designs I have seen in a long time. I bought the 2 pack for each vehicle and the size is perfect for each phone! They work perfect! A++ as I said.

Best Mount and I've tried many

Good strong magnets
