    I’ve had these before but just bought a new one and thought I’d leave a review. It’s pretty good for the price. Really nice build, not super strong, but still does the job. The application to some vents is a little difficult, specifically with my car because of the thick bezels on my air vent, and the actual opening on the product is super hard to open (but I get why) Overall satisfied :)

    Works great in my car. I changed to clamp (that connects to the vent) with one that has a hook so it wont get pulled off when grabbing the phone. Super strong magnet even with my case on.

    Works just like I was expecting. Used it with a esr holoring for my s23 ultra. Nice to have it mounted in my dash then in my lap. I wish the ball mount could be tightened just a bit more but works great other than that

    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.

    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.

    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

      Thanks, rockyb! Glad to hear it’s working well for you. That strong magnet is definitely a plus—appreciate the heads-up about the wobble!

    One of the best things I've purchased. I also purchased a flat back option. I stuck it near my radio and have not had a problem. Magnets are chefs kiss. Slap my phone and it stays. It even holds my heavy S23 ultra

    Good product but does not fit all car vents

    Very good product but not all car vents are the same so snug fit may not be achieved on every vehicle. Bought 3 of these and 1 fits perfect. Another is somewhat tightly fitting but the third feels loose. This is because on three different cars you find variances in vent shapes/sizes causing this to be more snug fit in some versus others. Overall a good value and works fairly well.

    It’s magnetic, it’s not as strong or powerful, but the concept is great. Good use for temporary car phone holder. It’s sleek. Just not as practical or functional as intended to be..

    The only downside is it does fall off my vent from time to time when I put my phone on or take off. It's still better than the other pop socket vent phone holders though.

    I was happy to find this for a great value. However I find it somewhat difficult to put on my vent and my phone seems to weigh it down. Does it work, yes. So, that’s good.

    Excellent product for the price! Stays in place; minus any sharp turns on brakes! So as long as you drive appropriately then it works properly.
