    Great and Reliable Magnetic MagSafe Charger

    This is a very simple and useful wireless charger for your iPhone 12, 13, 14 series, pretty much any iPhone in those series that support MagSafe cases. The most attractive characteristic of this charger is is very affordable and made by Best Buy Essentials. No need to splurge on an Apple branded MagSafe charger when this one is just rightly priced! This MagSafe wireless charger supports 7.5 Watts of wireless power, it is very easy to install as it comes with a special vent holder that snaps on to your car air vent. I tried it on two different cars and it snaps in securely and stays put. I also like the fact that it can charge a second device with an included USB port, so if you are short on those, this will provide an extra outlet for you. The charger comes with a car charging cable that you simply plug in your "cigaretter" lighter outlet. I have an iPhone 12 and it was around 20% left with power in it, I put it on the wireless charger, and I was back in business literally in about 25 mins. I really like that it is a magnetic car vent mount, that can be easily transferred from car to car. It is simple, reliable and well priced!

    I’ve been on the hunt for a vent mount for my iPhone 14. It can be difficult trying to find something that stays secure and charges my phone quickly. The good: - This mount does installed very easily. - Charges my phone quickly. - Magnet is very strong but not so strong that it pulls the mount out of my vent when removing my phone. - The mount fits securely on my vent and has very little movement while driving. - The design feels premium with a mix of aluminum and high-quality rubber/plastics. The not so good: - The rubber protective layer on the mounting point fell off when I was repositioning the mount. Your mileage may vary. It was easily resolved by simple slipping the rubber piece back over the metal clasp. - While the mount does fit securely, it does have a little more bounce than I would like. But that’s just a minor deal. I would highly recommend this mount. It checks all my boxes and does them well. I love how simple it was to install and the magnet is way stronger than other mounts I’ve used.

    I recently purchased the Best Buy essentials™ Magnetic Car Vent Mount for my iPhone, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The magnet is incredibly strong and securely holds my iPhone 15 in place, even on bumpy roads. It’s super easy to attach and detach the phone with just one hand, making it perfect for quick access while driving. The design is sleek and compact, blending seamlessly with my car’s interior without being bulky or distracting. Installation was a breeze—just clip it onto the vent, and it’s ready to use. What I love most is its compatibility with MagSafe, which means no additional adapters or clamps are needed. It firmly grips my phone without slipping. For the price, this mount offers excellent quality and functionality. If you're looking for a dependable and affordable magnetic mount for your iPhone, this is definitely worth considering!

    Definitely a sleek design that holds the phone very well does fall out of my vent sometimes causing the phone to hit my knee, but that could mean my vent due to the weight of the phone on the mount

    The MagSafe vent mount offers a fantastic solution for securely mounting your iPhone in the car using MagSafe technology, providing a seamless and reliable experience.

The strong magnetic connection ensures that the phone stays securely in place, even on bumpy roads or during sudden stops. Installation is straightforward, with the mount attaching easily to most car vent slats. The compact design of the mount does not obstruct visibility while driving, maintaining a clean and minimalist look in your vehicle. Compatibility with MagSafe cases further enhances convenience, allowing you to use the mount without removing your phone case. This flexibility is particularly useful for those who prefer added protection for their iPhones. The adjustability of the mount ensures optimal viewing angles for navigation, hands-free calls, or accessing media while driving. The ability to rotate the phone between landscape and portrait orientations adds to the versatility of the mount. Overall, the MagSafe vent mount is an excellent choice for iPhone users looking for a secure and convenient car mounting solution. Its magnetic attachment, ease of use, and compatibility with MagSafe cases make it a must-have accessory for safe and convenient smartphone use while on the road.

    I love it. I’ve purchase other phone grips that get loose like a week out . I’ve had this car mount for a while now and still works perfectly. I can put my phone on it horizontally as well as vertically. And the price is not bat at all. Also the magnet grip is really strong.

    This phone holder is truly exceptional. Installation is a breeze: simply loosen the nut on the back of the holder to adjust the tension after inserting the grooved tab securely into the vent. Once in place, you can effortlessly adjust the holder's position to suit your preferred angle and visibility. The magnet is impressively strong, ensuring your phone stays firmly in place, even on the bumpiest roads. It combines functionality, ease of use, and reliable performance, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a hassle-free phone mount.

    Great Magsafe Charger - High Build Quality !

    Tech Insider Network Member

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Highlights: This is a great magsafe charger that installs in most vehicles in a few seconds. The included "spreadable" clip has a tight grip on vent blades, it has a reasonably long and cord and even has an extra USB port on the lighter socket plug to allow for another USB device ! First impressions of build quality: This came in a plain black and white box. Upon opening it and preparing to go try it out in our three vehicles, I noticed that the overall build quality is very high; especially considering the price. In a market space where many cheaply designed non-branded phone accessories exist that I worry may damage my phone or even burn down the garage, I felt comfortable plugging this in and using it. The body, cord, charger plug are all well formed and quite solid. After a few days - I used this in my jeep for a few days with an Iphone 14 Pro - I only managed to knock the phone off once and that was my fault for bumping it. I will take this off-roading next time I go, The overall "sticking" factor is excellent and I suspect jarring the phone loose will be extremely difficult. I then installed this in my daughter's Toyota which I would consider representative of most uses - no issues at all over the course of a week. The phone "pops" right into place and charges immediately. What I love: High build quality USB lighter plug has an extra port ! Room for improvement: Consider offering it in some fun colors !

    Price was great and item is good. My phone seems to be a bit “heavy” for the holder as it tends to tip forward a bit. Not a huge problem. Full disclosure, I do have a magnet wallet with a stand on my phone which adds weight. I might also need to tighten the dial at the top which might fix it as well. Need to work on while not driving at the same time.

      Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you like the price and the product. It sounds like the added weight from your magnet wallet might be causing the phone to tip. Tightening the dial should help. Please adjust it when the car is stationary for safety. Ivy | Best Buy essentials Support BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    Functions as intended, my phone is pretty large/heavy/long (21:9 aspect ratio) which makes it a little easy to knock off and wobbles a little bit with the vibrations in the truck cabin, but overall is a good value minimalist mount to keep me safe when navigating! It easily attaches and stays when placing it on the mount with the magsafe case.

    Strong magnet, but attaching to the vent is very flimsy if you don't find a really secured area. A lot of play from side to side. Price was decent, but there could be better ones. I would use it for backup and temporary placement, but nor for long ones.

    Got this for my car, if course. It takes a bit of effort to get it on the ac vent and it does block some of the air flow, but once it's on, it stays on pretty good. When putting it on the vent, make sure to push on the little wings attached to the clipy part, not the front magnet part. Pushing on the front magnet part might break it. Otherwise it works well for me. It holds my phone like it should and doesn't drop it.

    This car phone mount works pretty well. The only gripe I have is that the actual part the grips the vent is hard to get on, and it often moves because of how you have to take off the phone. I do find it to work well and it doesnt fall off. Id recommend this if you need a cheap phone mount specifically for Magsafe phones
