Works okay if you have a MagSafe case or no case but since I do have a case it did not stay up. I am returning it because my phone fell during a ride.

Yeah, you definitely need a MagSafe-enabled case to be able to facilitate the "locking" connection with this OtterBox car mount, Or as you said, you could go without a case, but if you're using just a standard one then that would explain the poor performance.
We do make a ton of cases that are compatible with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem, so if you're in need and have any questions, just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to talk shop!

Worst Otterbox product which is surprising…

Received it, installed it properly on the AC vent of my truck. Placed phone on it as it gently attached via the magnet on the back.. phone fell. Thought, ok, maybe I placed it wrong. NOPE. The actual main piece is held by two 3/16 pieces of plastic attached to the clamp that holds on to the AC vent broke! Very disappointed in this product. Be warned..

Yikes. That's definitely not to be expected of the OtterBox Car Vent Mount, and we're very sorry for the unnerving experience. We'd love a chance to help get things back on track with a brand-new warranty replacement, which we trust will stand the test of time going forward.
Just ping our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to help get one in the works!

Quality Control Issues

Bought 3 of these now and all 3 were defective. The clamp would not open. I assumed I must be missing something and asked for help in the store but they agreed that it was defective. Best Buy’s return was easy as always but unfortunate that quality control is so poor.

Hi, Alan!
We're sorry to hear you're having an issue installing your OtterBox Car Vent Mount for MagSafe! The pads that grip the mount to your vent may have 'settled' together, making it difficult to depress the button that separates them. We recommend inserting a thin, ridged item such as a butter knife between the pads to separate them. We're sad that you ended up returning your mount, but we hope you choose to give us another chance in the future!

I have the Mag safe iPhone 13 case so I thought it would be perfect for my vehicle but it’s really hard to get your phone to go on there and it drops periodically

Sorry to hear you've had some trouble locking things down with the OtterBox Car Vent Mount. Since both that unit and your iPhone 13 utilize Apple's MagSafe technology, as long as you're also using a case that was designed for that then you should be good to go. Perhaps there is something wonky going on with your particular mount or case.
Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 so we can get a better understanding of all the dynamics and we'll be glad to help figure out the best path forward to a secure magnetic connection!

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that your Car Vent Mount for MagSafe isn't holding your device strongly enough! That's certainly unusual, and we'll be sure to get your feedback passed up the ladder. Keep in mind, if you're using a case on your MagSafe compatible device, that case also has to be designed for MagSafe. If you are using a made-for-MagSafe case or the device alone, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of with a replacement mount.

Is there a 0 out of 5 star option? I received this product in a destroyed box, and it was literally missing the part that holds your phone. Come on BestBuy... really? Such a waste of money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! Wish I just bought something on Amazon.

BROKE BRAND NEW CAR VENT.
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Purchased this because I was anticipating great quality because it is Otterbox. I was looking for something MagSafe as well as something small and discreet to hold my phone. Minutes after purchase, I went out to the car to put it in (still in the parking lot) It was very difficult to push the button down and get the clamps open it was almost like the rubber pieces had adhered together and no matter how hard you squeezed, it didn’t work. Returned it. Got a different one (exchanged) went out to the car and it broke my car vent.. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST WEEK. BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT 3 MILES… BROKEN VENT. MUCH APPRECIATED WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. I HAVE COMPLETELY LOST FAITH IN OTTERBOX. VERY VERY MAD.
