The phone does stick to the megnet. But sometimes when you make a turn , the phone slips off the mount. Otherwise good product.

Good clip but it doesn’t fit certain vent mounts. Clip is also very tight so you might need something to help pry it open to push it into your car vent. That’s what I ended up having to do

I use this for my vehicle at work, it works wonders. It does take up a AC vent but its ok. I can just quickly attach my iPhone to it and done.

The item was sold as “new” but clearly had been opened and retailed with Best Buy tape. It worked fine, but I should have paid for it as an “open box item

It does the job. The thing that holds the mount is very difficult to open, I used my car key to pry it open and slipped it through the vent. It stays in place but heavier phones will cause it to move from side to side. You will have to keep adjusting it.

Good if it sticks to your vehicle’s vent. Initially I thought great deal but it continues to fall off or shift

It’s a little tough to get onto thr vent grill but thats a positive as it holds very well. The magnet is also strong enough to hold my 13 Pro Max without falling… even over bumps.

It's ok. Not great as it does fall off during long trips and it does not fit all vents very well.

I bought 2 of these. The first one broke after a week, second lasted 2 days. Upgrade and just get the more expensive one this time. It isn’t worth it. (I thought the first one was a fluke). I don’t have a heavy case at all, just the plain MagSafe clear one, no reason for this issue.
