    We have all bought vent mounts that fall off and dont actually hold themselves onto the vent. This one sticks and has had no issues. The problem is the magnet is not steing enough to hold my phone with or without a rubber case.

    I received this as a Christmas gift. And finally received a magnetic phone case for my bday on 3/3 so i was able to finally use. It worked great for a couple days, then it literally broke off the base. No misuse, just using for my phone in my car and taking my phone off when I was done. Very disappointed.my Daughter also received as a gift and hers did the same thing!
