WixGear Universal Air Vent Magnetic Phone Car Mount Holder with Fast Swift-Snap Technology for Smartphones and Mini Tablets, Black 1 Pack

This thing is super awesome. At first I was concerned about the magnets because I have an Otterbox Commuter Wallet case for my iPhone 6s, and I didn't want the magnets to damage either the credit cards or, God forbid, the phone. I did a fair amount of research and found that although this magnet is pretty strong, it generally takes a super-strong electromagnet to damage either of them. So, I went ahead and ordered it, and I'm so glad I did!The base fits snugly onto the vent, and although it eliminates the ability to change the angle of the vent, that isn't a huge deal for me. Once it's in place, I can almost toss my phone up to it (no, I don't actually do that). The magnets hold it strongly in MULTIPLE positions, it doesn't have to be centered on the plate for maximum hold. The rubber coating on the base assists with this, preventing the device from sliding around and breaking magnetic contact when you hit bumps in the road. My phone covers about half of my vent when it's installed, which is fine, because the other half is pointed right at me :) and it only blocks half of one vent. (I have a 2013 Dodge Caravan so I'm sure different types of vents will produce different results)Even with my AUX and charge cables plugged in it doesn't affect the strength of the magnet at all. I can have it in normal or landscape orientations (useful when using a GPS app) and coupled with Siri it makes it incredibly easy to use the device handsfree in the car. The magnet is strong enough that it prevents the device from spinning on the base (gravity pulling the heavier side down).Another neat feature, and I'm sure this has been noted before, is that because the phone is attached to the vent it keeps it cool while charging on hot days, or when using GPS (the screen produces a fair amount of heat when it is on and at full brightness for an extended amount of time). I haven't used it in the winter when the heater is on, but I usually turn the heater to the defrost anyway so it isn't blasting warm air directly into my face.Another important note is that this magnet base may work with many phones without the included metal plate - My wife just bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 and has a clear PC case on it, and without the metal plate the phone sticks to the base with no issues. Again, the magnet isn't strong enough to affect the components in the phone aside from perhaps the digital compass in a smartphone, but if it is affected strongly most smartphones have an alert that lets you know. My iPhone 6s has no issues with the compass while using this base and my wife's Galaxy S8 also has no loss of functionality in the digital compass (and the magnet is attracting directly to something inside her device!)Five stars and two thumbs way up for this simple, cheap device that has revolutionized the way I personally use my phone in the car.

I bought this WizGear product hoping to get a relatively cheap car mount for my IPhone 6S. The goal was to be able to have my phone at eye level to view maps, phone calls, etc, while not compromising a hand to hold my phone. I was hoping to get a reliable product that was easy to use, easy to assemble, and that wouldn't require extensive additions to my IPhone.The WizGear Universal Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount has everything I was hoping to get in a phone stand. The magnet is easy to adhere to the backside of the phone and I had no issues attaching the magnet, even though I have a semi-thick phone case. I placed the magnet in-between the phone backing and the phone case, though I imagine you could also place the magnet on the back of the phone case. The magnet is thin enough that you don't notice it is even there after applying. As for the strength of pull between the magnet and the car mount, I have had no issues with my phone sliding or falling off during driving and it has been easy to attach and pull away from the mounted stand.As far as the mount goes, the device has prongs that allow for you to easily attach the black stand to anything that the prongs can fit around (ideally to the air vent). The prongs are sturdy enough that they don't move over bumps and the general jostling of a car, but also flexible enough to allow easy slide on and slide off from the vent. Swiping, touching, and pressing on my phone don’t move the phone off the stand either. The only potential negative I could see to this product is not being able to hold your phone wherever you want on your dash, but obviously the description says "Air Vent Mount" so there shouldn't be any ambiguity in what you think you are buying.Overall I have been very pleased, and if you are someone who is looking for a phone stand that clips on an air vent, this product is simple, affordable, and effective in accomplishing that task. I would highly recommend this WizGear product. Great investment!
