Strong magnet but pulls out off vent occasionally

The only downfall is the grip on the air conditioning vent. The magnet is strong which is great but the magnet is so strong that it pulls it out of the vent unless you tilt it a little to get it to disconnect. This does not happen every time but it does after so many times. Overall it charged but no quickly and I would not buy it again.

Holds a 15 Pro Max with a silicone case. Rock solid. Wish it had longer grips, but that’s unique to my setup.

Almost Destroyed My Phone

The product would have been convenient if it worked the way it was supposed to. However, when my phone was attached to this, out of the box it would charge for about 20 minutes before randomly disconnecting. It was inconvenient, but I chalked it up to my case and thought Icould deal with it. However, two days into owning this charger, I charged my phone for only about 15 minutes before a heat notification sensor popped up. I went to take my phone off of the charger, and both the phone and the charger were so hot that I had to pull over and wrap my hand in my hoodie to remove/unplug it! Obviously I didn't have the heat on (actually the opposite, had my AC on full blast) so the heat had to have come from this charger. I consider myself lucky that I had my GPS on at the time, otherwise I might have not seen the heat notification- and who knows what might have happened then? Don't get this unless you miss the first waves of the Galaxy Note 7.

Compact and tough wireless charging mount

With MagSafe compatibility and 7.5W wireless fast charging, the Velox Magnetic Wireless Charger will fill up your iPhone battery fast and securely while on the go. A compact design with a simple, reliable vent mount connection, this is a charger you can trust to handle even the bumpiest of rides.
I love the minimal dashboard real estate which the Velox charger uses. The magnetic surface is small, and perfectly aligned with a MagSafe ring or the back of an iPhone. This design allows for both portrait and landscape connection. And unlike some other vent mounts that stick far out, the Velox charger sits almost flush with your car's vent. The rubber grips are tight and can conform to almost any shape of static or movable air vent. Also a plus is the ease with which you can mount the charger - no tricky twisting and vent-catching, no two-handed contorting to get it to stabilize, etc. Just push in and you're done, plain and simple.
The charge speed is acceptable. I get a decent amount of juice event while using maps applications or fiddling with a music or podcast app. The constant tap-tap-tapping doesn't jostle the phone from its holder either, as it has a very good stick to it.
The wire to the car socket is very long; it can definitely reach an armrest power port, with plenty of wire to tuck away, but I use it with the port directly below the dashboard and have to roll up a lot of excess wire. It's not a big deal to me but opinions may vary on that. The wire is affixed to the magnetic mount, but the other side can be removed from the supplied auxiliary power outlet and connected directly to a USB-C port if one is available.
Overall, the mount is a great accessory for your on-the-go iPhone. The Velox charger is a compact, fast mount that is easy to install and can handle almost any vent with ease. It stays out of the way but is within reach at the same time, exactly what you want from a phone mount.

iOttie Velox Wireless Mini Air Vent Mount for iphone
included- wireless mount, USB-c cable, 10w adapter
The iOttie Velox wireless mini air vent mount is so easy to use. Just slide the prongs into your car's air vents. It stays secure with the silicone grips. Connect the USB-C cable to either your car's USB-C port or use the included 10W adapter to plug it into the auxiliary power outlet. Then tap the Magsafe iphone against the front of the mount. There is an adjustable ball and joint that connects the mount to the prongs, that allows you to adjust the phone so you can adjust your view.
I like this little iOttie Velox wireless air vent because the surface area is large enough to have a strong hold but not too big that it blocks too much air flow. It also has tiny air vents built in so that the air can blow out of the vent keeping the air vent useable. The only drawback for me personally is that I wish the cord would disconnect if you do not need to charge it but would still want to use the mount. I don't constantly charge my phone but it would be useful to mount my phone there if I'm using the maps function and since the cord is permanently attached, it just hangs there and I want to be able to put the cord away when not in use.
Pros-
Super easy to position/install
Use with just a tap
Strong magnet
Delivers up to 7.5W of power
Cons-
Somewhat spendy
Power cord is permanently attached

I purchased this for my vehicle to enjoy the convenience of wireless apple car play as well as wireless charging in a vent mount form as the wireless charger built into my vehicle is located low and is inconvenient to access. Before even leaving the Best Buy parking lot I took this out of the packaging and set up. My iPhone would show as charging for about 5 seconds and then just stop. This was repeatable each time I took my phone off of the charger and immediately put back on. I ran right back into the store to swap for a replacement and the second example performed the same way. I ordered a similar product made by Belkin from the Apple store down the street (Best Buy doesn’t carry the model) and the Belkin product works as intended. This could be just a bad batch of the product, but I wasn’t willing to try a third one.

iOttie: Velox Wireless Mini Magsafe Air Vent Car Phone Air Vent Phone Holder is where it charges and hands-free travels. The charger is mag-safe and compatible, so it works with iPhones that use this tech. It also works very well with Magsafe-compatible cases. I've had previous models, but this one, the magnetic hold, is perfect. It does not fall off. I've had others that did. But this one holds tough. It also includes a power plug for lighter ports.
It has a built-in USB cable, now the new standard for iPhones. The wireless charging is 7.5, which is good but not fast. My only drawback is that in newer cars, the vents are less sturdy than in the past, making them slump down when using the holder.
I wish they included a suction cup or something to connect to the dashboard of the window. But all in all, this is the one that holds the phone. It won't fall, and you're charging a plus for any iPhone owner of a 12 or better on the go. This one is a definite win check it out.

Want to love this. I have vertical vents. Any ideas hone with a case seems too heavy. It’s fallen down multiple times. Glue weakened and the rubber grip has fallen off.
