    Make sure you have a MagSafe compatible phone case! That’s the only thing you need. I’m using even and off brand $5 case and it holds like glue. Secure it by pushing it all the way in (that’s what she said) and center your phone with it. When removing try a downward or turning motion so that you don’t bring the holder with you or loosen it. $10 well spent, don’t regret at all. Stay happy my friends

    It’s good enough to where it holds your phone if you’re driving civilized. However, when you try to go fast or break hard it may fly out. I suppose it depends on how sturdy your vents are but apart from that, it’s good. I saw some of the other reviews where it had broken off but I never had a problem with that. You have the small dial where you can adjust how sturdy it is to hold the phone.

    Only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is it didn't come with a sticky, metal plate to glue onto my phone. As long as you have or buy one for your device, or have a phone case with the polar opposite magnet for it to magnetize, your phone will not stick to it. They should have mentioned this or provided one just to be on the safe side. Aside from that, it works great!

    So glad I picked this up, got a new phone case with a Magsafe compatible ring to it. Had to change up my driving setup due to it, but has been so nice having. Strong magnet, fits my phone perfectly, even with it being a Samsung phone with a Magsafe case. Definitely an immediate, easy second purchase if the situation ever rises for me!

    Overall great deal for the price. It clips into the air vent grill but since this and the phone are heavy, it will sway side to side. I like it

    The Perfect Solution for Hands-Free Driving

    I recently purchased the Magnetic Car Mount for iPhone from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This mount has completely changed how I interact with my phone while driving. The mount attaches securely to my car's vent, and it hasn't budged since I installed it. I love that it doesn't obstruct my view of the road at all, yet keeps my phone easily accessible. The magnetic hold is incredibly strong and works perfectly with authentic Apple phone cases. Even on bumpy roads, the mount keeps my iPhone firmly in place. Before purchasing this mount, I was concerned about my phone slipping or falling off, but those worries quickly disappeared once I started using it. Overall, I highly recommend the Magnetic Car Mount for iPhone from Best Buy to anyone in need of a reliable, hands-free solution for using their phone while driving. It's a game-changer!
