    I replaced my old phone mount in my car with this iottie Velox magnetic wireless charger and it works very well with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The compact design of this charger mount looks neat, unlike those other bulky car mount. The magnetic is strong enough to hold my heavy iPhone 13 Pro Max without falling while driving and it charges my iPhone for up to 7.5W wireless fast charging also works well with my MagSafe iPhone case. Easy to install, just slide the prongs of the Velox onto your vehicle air vent and plug the built in USB-C cable to your vehicle port or use the car charger adapter, included with this magnetic charger. The adjustable ball joint on the back, help you adjust the cradle to any safe view position while driving, you can also put your iPhone vertical or horizontal position. Pros : compact- strong magnetic hold- works well with MagSafe iPhone cases- includes car charger adapter for those cars that doesn’t have USB-C ports. Cons - built in USB-C not detachable- does not charge as fast as you need on an iPhone 13 Pro Max (7.5W).

    Solid Holder - Almost too heavy for vent

    I have been wanting an air vent holder for my iPhone for a long time now. I was excited to give this a try. It comes with the holder, and USB C Charging cable and plug adapter for your car. The cable is nice and long so you should be able to position this in the middle or even the side air vents of just about any vehicle. Out of the box my first impression was the holder has a nice weight to it and the clamp that holds it to the air vent is solid and sturdy. First I tried using it in a Toyota HIghlander XLE. I attached it to the center air vent on the driver side. It connects easily to the vent and is very solid. Next I placed my iPhone 13 Pro Max (with MagSafe case) to the unit. The magnetic connections was instant and easy to find. However as soon as I let go of the phone, the entire unit tilted downward, This causes the air flow DOWN out of the vent. There could be a few different reasons why this happened, but I suspect it has to do with the weight of my phone in combination with an air vent that is easily moved. This is really my only complaint of the unit. There needs to be a way to keep the vent from falling when the phone is attached. My phone charges and connects with ease, it is easy to see my phone while driving now (for maps) or if I am using it for carplay. IN the highlander the holder and iPhone do not seem to block much of the vent, since these vents are quite wide. However I did notice that the air blowing on it makes the phone quite cool. Not sure if this is an issue for the phone over time or not (think about long road trips). But an observation I had. Next I tried it in a Hyundai Elantra. Again I used the center air vent on the passenger side of the console. This time when I attached the phone to the unit the air vent remained in its place. So perhaps the design of the vents is different enough between the Elantra and the Highlander to allow the vent to not move when the phone and holder are added. However it does seem to block much of the air vent itself, which means I am COOLING my phone a lot (Summer heat in Florida so the AC is always on) and the air from that vent is not really being sent out into the car or reaching the driver or passenger like it used to. So to recap, my main issue is that the weight of the unit plus the weight of the iPhone caused the air vent to be redirected down and there is no way with the current until to keep it upright so air flows throughout the vehicle or towards the front passenger or driver. Overall I am enjoying this product but do wish there was a better way to NOT block the vent and to keep the vent positioned where you want it without the weight of the unit and phone redirecting the air flow.

    Used other iOttie products before and have consistently been good quality products. The phone dock is the size of the MagSafe ring on the back of the iPhone. Because it's round, I can put the phone in either horizontal or vertical positions. The prongs that slide into the vent are hard so it won't move and coated in a rubberized material that doesn't scratch the vehicle. It has a long, non-removable cable that is thin and flexible. The connection is USB-C and it comes with a lighter to USB-C connector as well. It also works if the vehicle has an USB connector. I'm using an USB to USB-C adapter and connecting it to the vehicle because I don't have an extra lighter plug, which will charge more slowly but works fine. Although it's round and doesn't have the extra magnet on the bottom, it holds the phone securely. There is a small vent behind the charger that helps dissipate heat from the wireless charger. I'm using it on iPhone Pro Max 13 with a MagSafe case. The max charge capacity when using the provided lighter adapter is 7.5W, which is not as fast as Apple's desktop MagSafe charger, but it does work with any USB-C plug even if it doesn't provide as much power.

    Great MagSafe charger

    Since the introduction of MagSafe charging, it’s been my preferred method to charge my iPhone. Until the iOttie Velox all my MagSafe chargers have been home ones or portable ones, this is the first car charger that I’ve used. I’ve tried some MagSafe mounts but didn’t like them as they weren’t that strong. The iOttie Velox thankfully has a nice strong magnet that has no problem holding my iPhone 14 Pro Max securely in place. The articulating mount makes it easy to point the phone where I want it. The prongs that attach to the air vent are nice and beefy and don’t pull off when pulling the phone off the charger. The charger only charges @ 7.5 watts so it’s not a fast charger if that’s something you need. It comes with a USB-C car charger adapter or if your vehicle has USB-C plug you can just use the cord. The cord is built into the device itself and can’t be unplugged to use a shorter or longer cord and this would be my one knock. If the cord gets damaged the device becomes useless. For the price, it’s a great charger if you don’t need fast charging or if you don’t mind the non detectable cord.

    I recently purchased the iOttie Velox Wireless Mini Air Vent Car Phone Holder in midnight blue, and I couldn't be happier! The MagSafe compatibility ensures my phone stays securely in place, even on bumpy roads. The design is sleek and modern, adding a nice touch to my car’s interior. Installation was effortless, and it fits perfectly in my air vent. I love that it offers wireless charging; it’s so convenient not to deal with cords while driving. The holder also allows for easy access to my phone for navigation. Overall, this product combines functionality and style seamlessly. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable car phone holder!

    A reasonable Magsafe Charger

    The case I had on my phone was listed as: "Support Wireless Charging & MagSafe''. I removed my old charger and mounted the iOttie Wireless mini. My old garger came off very easily, the iOttie immediately has tighter grip, and feels much more stable. As soon as I put my phone with the case on it on the charger, I discovered that a horizontal line appears on the screen that indicates where to center the phone on the charger (I guess this is a MagSafe feature as I've not seen this on Qi charger). And like that my phone was magnetically attracted to the charger and stayed in place.... I backed out of my garage and got to the curb in the street, and the phone fell off the charger. I popped the lightweight ​off the rubber​y TPU case. ​And I put the "naked" phone back on the charger​, it held much more firmly. I drove about, up and down hills and turns, the phone stayed attached. So I'm not sure who to blame for the case ​that the mfg that claimed it was magsafe compatible​, yet magsa​fe didn't exist when the phone was released. Or iOttie for not having strong enough magnets to hold my phone throught the thin TPU case. Either way, with my case, it's easy on/off. The charger works very well with my phone, it has a 7.5w, which is kind of mediocre. I have wireless chargers with more than 10w (but not for the car). So now there exists a reasonably priced magsafe charger for your car, with a magnetic support. From my simple testing it charges faster than the phone uses power, which makes this most reasonable for your car. And the vent clip works very well, and is easy to attach. Not bad at all, ​I can't guarantee you can use it with your existing case. ​A​nd I suspect newer "magsafe" cases really do work better.

    A MagSafe vent charger with other possibilities

    Barring the drawbacks associated with vent-mounted chargers, the MagSafe option makes this Velox Wireless Mini MagSafe Compatible Air Vent Car Charger stand above the rest of the run-of-the-mill chargers. The MagSafe portion is ventilated, and has a clip/wedge that is on a ball joint to allow different angles to hold the phone. Of the three vehicles we have, the Audi is the one this worked in best because there is a vent that is away from screens, buttons, or other controls. There didn't seem to be anywhere to put the mount in the Tesla Model 3. The vent clip/wedge doesn't want to stay in the ventilation strip, and I couldn't figure out anywhere else to even try to mount the rubber vent clip/wedge. The BMW has traditional vents, but the driver's side vent is small enough that the phone covered the vent almost entirely, and when the phone is placed on the mount if in the middle vents above the climate control it blocks controls as well as the vent. It's usable in the BMW, but I didn't care for what it blocks when the phone is on it. I attempted to use the clip/wedge in a cigarette plug. It seemed to work. The position of the plug wasn't convenient, but I know that other vehicles have a socket in a convenient place. Given the type of mounting clip/plug that's mounted on the charger, I'm thinking of alternate mounting and uses for the mount. I've already found a couple places where the clip/wedge fits secure enough to hold my phone.

    Convenient iPhone Mount and Wireless Charger

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Before getting the Velox Magnetic Wireless Charger by iottie, I used a vent-anchored magnetic mount and a USB charging cable. I'm sure it was a lot of wear on my charging cable and charging port. However, now, I don't have to worry about using a charging cable with the Velox. The vent grip prongs effectively secure a tight mount, and the rotating ball joint gives me the facing flexibility I need for my phone. I do recommend using small cable mounts to prevent entangling the USB cable. I have a MagSafe compatible case for my phone, and while it does work with the Velox Charger, I have to make sure the placement of the phone is in the exact correct spot. If the phone is not in the same right place, it tends to fall off when I hit a bump in the road. Without the phone case, I can be off-center. Overall, I'm happy with the Velox Magnetic Wireless Charger. Features • MagSafe Compatible • Vice-like prongs grip the vent securely • Soft silicone face • Rotating ball joint for easy adjustment • Two years warranty • Compact design

    Nice Idea but Weak Magnet

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have my phone up on the dashboard as I use it when I’m driving for navigation. Usually I have to spend the extra time to plug a wire in to charge it when using it, so my hope with this charger and holder could do it all. I like the overall product, and the fact that you get the cigarette litter and also a USB-C as most cars now have a USB C built in. Its also pretty small and easy to get in a vent of the car. It also feels sturdy and not some cheap plastic like my other holder, so overall it seems great. When the phone stays on the older with the magnet, it works great. It charges my phone and lets me see it and its easy to get on. Unfortunately, the magnet is not very strong so my phone falls off. I had a small iPhone 12 mini with a light case, so it says on sometimes but when you hit a bump the phone falls off. I also tried an iPhone 13 Pro Max with a case, and it didn’t even stay on. So if you don’t use a case and have a small phone it might work for you, but anything heavy or a thick case and it won’t stay. So this has made the product unusable to me. I could use it as a wireless charger in the house, but the problem is the holder cannot come off so it doesn’t make sense. If there is an updated version with a stronger magnet, I would recommend it. But right now it doesn’t really work unless you want to constantly be picking your phone off the floor.

    I like how easy this was to set up. Not having to deal with charging cables is so nice! Only two (small) downsides are that it doesn’t charge super fast (went up just 6% during a 20 minute drive), and if I try to remove my phone too quickly, the mount will sometimes pop off the vent.
