This is the third different type of dash mount for my iPhone that I've bought and it is the easiest to use. Because of the magnet holding the phone I don't have to deal with squeezing brackets together. I just lay the phone against the backstop and it's secure. No unreliable suction cups. Just two small wedges for the AC vent and there's plenty of room at the bottom of the phone for both the charging cable and headphone jack. The best thing is because of the lack of moving parts, this one won't wear out or break like the others.

I like the quick connect / disconnect achieved by using a magnet. The small metal plate must be attached to phone or slipped into phone case. Issue: the clips used to hold the bracket to the air vents eventually weaken and won’t hold causing phone and bracket to fly off in sharp turns. Replacement clips are out of stock on mfg website.

Bought this 4 months ago. Magnet works great, strong hold for my big phone. Phone holder broke and flung the phone into the floor board under my feet as I was making a turn. Bracket that clamps to vent broke completely apart. 100% NOT worth the money I spent on it.

This smartphone bracket fit my phone perfectly. It was very easy to install, snapping into the vents securely.
The only downside was you need to attach a magnet to your phone in order for your phone to attach securely to the bracket. The only reason this was a downside is that I charge my phone on a wireless pad and it would not work because of the magnet.
So instead of attaching the magnet to the phone with the provided adhesive I just slip the magnet between my phone and it's case when I want to use it in my car and I take the magnet out to charge.

You can put the magnet inside of a Tech 21 case and it still works. It has NEVER fallen! The mount is better than others because it goes higher than the others and I can still see my Navi and media screen!

Best vent mount for phone

The Bracketron vent mount is the best phone mount I have used to date. It is better than previous mounts which could be difficult to mount on the vent of the vehicle and which often had plastic parts that would break over a certain period of time. The Bracketron vent mount is the easiest vent mount I found to install and has been very reliable up until now. I've had the vent mount now for a while. I highly recommend the Bracketron vent mount to mount your smartphone in your vehicle.

I purchased the MagnetXT Vent Mount to hold my IPhone 6s Plus. This device does exactly what it advertises, it’s easy to mount and provides a very stable platform for my phone while on the road.

For the price, I expected this to be better quality than the cheaper ones at other online retailers. However, it is not. The bottom support would easily break and the clips are hard plastic and difficult to insert without force. I do not feel it was worth the price and will be returning it.

Obviously this one is only if you have a magnet attached to your phone. If so, this is probably the best one I've owned. Magnet is strong and has an optional base extension for extra support. Because I own the massive Huawei Mate 20 x, I opted for this model instead of the one with the side handle support as I doubt it'll extend to a comfortable degree. Also the attachment to the vent is really secure and extends a comfortable angle

Mount works pretty well with my iPhone. Magnet is very strong which leaves little doubt that the phone will fall off without purposely trying to remove it. The only downside is that the jaws that clamp it to the vent louvers are not strong enough to keep it in place when trying to remove the phone from the holder. If the jaws had some type of a catch mechanism to keep it in place, I may have given it 5 stars.

The thing I like about this one more than other types of devices is very securely fits in any urban make sure that you observe the back of a carefully has a little flip down that helps it to angle it self out if you - is angled But the most particular selling point for me is that it comes with 2 metal pads I used one on my phone in in 1 on my phone case these metal pads give a much sturdier magnetic hold be sure to clean the surface before you attach these metal pads to the back of your device the 3M tape which is excellent bonds much better when the surface is clean and the longer 3M tape is on a material do you stronger the bond becomes but once it's on there's honor and it will hold your phone very securely. Another bit of advice when taking your phone off of the holder slide it off don't try to pull it off if you try to pull it off of course is very strong magnet it will want to come off of the air vent and if it doesn't you may be running the risk of damaging something so is just much easier if you just slide it off instead of trying to pull it off

Love the mount and the way it lets you use the whole phone with no obstructions on the edges. Will not work with puck wireless charger though so that was a bummer.
