Scosche - Dash Mount for Most GPS Devices - Black

*I did my photos in a layout app to have more than two photos...ANYWAY* *SHORT STORY* The adhesive for the bottom of this device that sticks to the car stunk for about 2 minutes before faling off due to the texture, I found some left over command strips and cut them to size and they work great and are very powerful!* *FULL STORY* So I originally got the Scosche cigarette lighter magnetic plug in and it worked for about five minutes before the second I made a right turn, whole whole piece fell to the side and twisted out of the socket...so I went back to get this simple dash mount. So I was happy that it was cheaper then the other one, didn't stick out as much and I could put it anywhere I wanted...allegedly. So I tried sticking it to the top of my dash and due to it's texture it didn't stick. But also due to the adhesive..wouldn't stick again. So naturally I was upset, didn't want to go to best buy for the 3rd time that day so I turned to the scosche website to chat with a rep about my issue. I told him about how the device would no longer stick to anything in my car, and asked if they sold those adhesives separately. The man was very nice and actually mailed a second platform (bottom piece) that had adhesive on it and a cleansing wipe. HOWEVER!! It only took a few days for the adhesive to get to me, but by that time I found a second solution...COMMAND STRIPS! If you have any laying around, these are a great back up. I peeled off the old adhesive from the device and cut two strips to size and works amazingly, I did have to put it next to my stereo rather than on my actual dash but I kind of prefer it because now my phone isn't in my view of the road.

This is GREAT! I have tried all the various d vices to mount your phone in the car. The problem with them all is you have to work a clip of some sort, or a latch, or some other gizmo to lock it in. Not only is this hard to do if your driving, most of the time my phone fell out because of the vibration of the car and the road! Then the Magic Mount comes along. Nothing reall Magic about it, you put a small metal plate either under your phones back she'll, or in you phones case, and the magnet on the mount grabs onto it. I just jump in the car, pop my phone onto the mount, and drive off. All I have to be is close and the strong magnet grabs it. You can put it in either portrait or landscape position. The mount has a built in swivel base so you can turn it to face the driver or the passenger (great when my wife is with me so I can show her I actually am asking for directions!) It comes with a small one inch by one inch plate, and a slightly larger rectangular one. The only drawback I have found is if you have wireless charging on your phone. You have to use the smaller plate, and experiment with where to put it in order to still use your wireless charging. I have now purchased four of these, and will for any future cars (and friends...)

For something so simple, I am very pleasantly surprised at the difference it has made in my everyday life. The unit comes in two pieces with a simple metal plate that is stuck the to back of the phone and the other is the mount you can apply to any location in your vehicle. I have mine located just left of center on the dash and it adheres just fine to the curved marbled surface. I was concerned with it supporting the weight of an iPhone 6S Plus and the case, but haven't had any issues to date. The metal plate hasn't caused any perceived interference or signal loss. It has also been relocated to a second phone without issue. As I travel a lot, I use my phone to display maps and having it where I can see it and the road has proved much safer than having to keep it in the cup holder. I would highly recommend this one over any of the vent clips or CD/tape deck adapters.

Recently, the law changed in my state so that you can no longer hold your mobile phone in your hand, even at red light signals. I needed to be able to make calls and use my GPS but couldn't without risking the chance to get a very expensive ticket. I found this dash mount and thought I would give it a try. It works GREAT! Better than I thought it would. I attached it to my dash just to the right of my steering wheel for easy 1 finger touch on my phone's screen, if I need to. I can talk to text, talk to get directions, have my phone read out texts, all without actually having to touch my phone at all! The best part is I don't have to look down in my lap to see directions. I just have to glance toward my radio and there they are! This product is awesome for people that can't afford or don't want to install the newer stereos with the fancy dashboard. It is under $30 and super easy to install. Took less than a minute once I decided where I wanted to place it. It is adjustable, too, which is very helpful. I wish I had known about this product years ago!

It is a magnet mount with adhesive pad. It does everything it says on the label. However, after using it for as long as I have, I noticed that the adhesive pad quits working after a couple years of use and falls of the dash when under load. I am going to have to glue it back into place soon. The friction ball mount also tends to drift with vibration. Best rotate the mount into the perfect position and adjust the ball until it rests with gravity against the collar. That way it won't shift. Keep this in mind before you use it, that way you won't have to mess and fiddle around with it on the daily. That would just get annoying and dangerous while driving. It is a value product that requires user thought to show its true value.

I have a few variations of these mounts, cd player, vent, and sticky (this one). The good, it's a strong strong magnetic mount that holds my 7in shield tablet alone. The device's magnetic backing is very slim (I have it in between my otter box's hard shell and the rubber exterior layer. It will not hold well if you put it on the device itself through all of the layers. The bad: do not use the plastic protector, the ones I have all fell off, but if you apply the metal attachment directly to the device / case, it's very strong! You'll bend the metal trying to get it off and could damage the device if it's done wrong or on certain types of materials. Overall? I have a cd mount and this mount holding my tablet. One will hold it, but used 2 to eliminate shaking. Also have another one like this for holding my s7 edge. So, id recommend it and prefer it to the other styles since it's more universal and it works well. I can swap my tablet and phone and not have a issue at all.

I was really skeptical about how well this thing would work, since I have a great big 6" Nokia 1320, similar in size to a Samsung Note. The phone is so large that using a regular holder that suctioned to the windshield just blocked out too much of my driving view, and I thought that was really unsafe. There were no other smooth flat spaces in my car for the suction cup to hold on to. So I thought I'd give this a try. The 1-inch by 1 1/2 inch base fit nicely on a little vertical spot on my radio, and man, does it hold! But the real test is, would it securely support my phone? I'm pleased to say that, not only does it hold that big, bulky phone without so much as a wiggle, it also holds the phone while the phone is inside it's protective wallet. No awkwardly squeezing clamps open, or geometric exercises to reposition it from portrait to landscape. Nope, just put your phone against it, let it go, and there it stays! I've had it in my car for about a month and a half, and the phone hasn't dropped from it once. Wonderful!

The dash mount is an excellent product. Extremely strong magnet and the adhesive is really strong even in the extreme summer heat in a car. I actually bought the mount for my car to hold my cell phone. I have limited space in my car with no good place for my cell to ride. I was able to stick the mount to the dash area just to the right of the nav screen. It works great to hold my phone and I can adjust the angle of the magnet on the mount for easy viewing. Also, the metal plates provided are very thin and I was able to place one inside my cell phone cover without actually using the adhesive to stick it to my phone or my cover and it works great. The plate stays in place sitting between my phone and case and the magnet is more than strong enough to hold the phone securely in place.
