Customers are saying

Customers admire the Steelie Otterbox uniVERSE Vent Mount Kit's strong magnet and ease of use, citing its convenient and versatile design. However, some users found the mount to be too heavy for their phones, causing the phone to slump or detach from the vent. Concerns were also raised regarding stability, particularly with larger phones or during bumpy rides. The suitability of the mount appears to depend on the size and weight of the phone being used.

    I found while using this the clamp wasn't as strong as I needed for my iPhone 6s. It would slowing sag and slide out of any vehicle vent I would flip it to. I ended up using it on my desk and it worked great because there was no bouncing or shaking. Magnet is strong just the clamp doesn't have enough grip

    This magnetic mount is very strong and holds an iPhone 7plus well. It does a tendency to get moisture on. E ball and cause the phone to rotate down.

    I think in theory, this product is probably awesome. Unfortunately, I have an iPhone 7 Plus, and I believe it's too heavy to keep the phone from slipping from position. I did call Nite Ize support before I bought it and they confirmed that this would work. Maybe I have a defective magnet. I plan on bringing this back to Best Buy.

    Like being able to move it from vehicle to vehicle and it stays where I place it so my phone is always ready to use hands free.

    This small and very functional clip holds your phone securely but also allows for quick access and removal.

    Great idea...questionable execution

    I really like the concept of this device with the magnetic catch that positions your phone on a steel ball. However, the strength of the magnet does not overcome the overall weight of the phone and it will consistently rotate out of the desired alignment. This is particularly poor when the phone is plugged into a charger.

    I bought this having seen one of my friends have the same brand of this car dash mount, when i saw that they had released a compatible one for my uniVERSE case i thought that it was a must have since i do Uber from here and then, and then while using it i IMMEDIATELY did not like it. i use an iPhone 6 Plus and it would always droop the phone down. it would not stay with the screen facing me and would always move with minor bumps in the road. returned immediately. there has to be a better alternative.

    What I have found with this magnetic system is that it works better than traditional mounts. MAKE SURE TO WAIT 24 HRS to use it once you stick the adhesive to the mount, but if you don't there is a second sticky pad that will help. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

    I use the Oterbox case adapter every day. I love it. I keep the vent attachment in my bag for use around the lab and when I drive my wife's car. I bought the car kit for a more permanent ball in the car. I've never had a Nite Ize product disappoint.

    So the whole Universe product line really interest me so I bought all of the products that I thought I would use and would be nice. Some of the products work really well and other do not. Here is a lit of products for the Universe line that are awesome: USB Flash Drive Extended Storage Extended Battery Wallet Here is a list of products that I do not feel work as well as they should: Armband Vent Mount Kit

    The iPhone 7 plus may be too big for this nite ize magnet. It still works however if you hit a big bump it may come off.
