Dashboard Mount, Universal Magnetic Phone Holder for Car, Windshield Mount and Dashboard Mount Holder for Cell Phones and Tablets with Long Adjustable Arm – (New Rectangle Head)

I purchased this to replace an iOttie Easy One Touch 2 mount that I purchased back in 2015. While that mount seemed a bit cheap at first, it had a reliable suction cup and lasted more than 3 years. When it finally failed, I actually considered getting a newer version of the same brand. I'm glad I didn't! I'm on the go a lot, making frequent stops throughout the day. The old style mounts that clamp your phone in place eventually wear down, relying on a variety of moving parts. The fact that everything's plastic these days doesn't help. Another inconvenience is the fact that it takes an extra moment or two to unmount and remount. Sometimes you also have to adjust the position so that charging cables can connect, or to prevent side buttons from being squeezed to tight (a major nuisance when you're volume shoots to zero out of nowhere). A while back, I was in a friend's car that had a magnetic mount that clipped to a vent. It often moved out of the place, but it never dropped the phone and I knew I needed a similar solution. After a lot of research, I settled on this WizGear mount. It had a similar suction mount as the iOttie I owned before, and best of all, it was even cheaper than I expected! After using it for a couple months, here's my pros and cons: Pros: - Well-made and durable - Strong magnetic grip - Phone does not slide, tilt, or move out of position - Easy to mount and unmount with one hand - No arms or rests that get in the way of side buttons and the charging cable - Highly affordable Cons: - The base is all plastic (decent quality plastic though) - Takes a little fiddling to get the swivel head to the right tension - No extension arm (doesn't project phone forward as much as the previous mount I owned) As you can see, the pros heavily outweigh any complaints I had. I was also able to get the tension just right after 3 adjustment attempts, so that wasn't really terrible either. The magnet is the real stand out here. It has such a good grip, the phone never moves out of position, even over pot holes and speed bumps. I can easily attach the charging cable and access side buttons. Best of all, when you're in a hurry, you can just grab the phone and go. Returning to the car with an armful of something you're carrying? No problem. You can reach ahead with one hand to mount your phone! Now the wife wants one, so I'll probably be ordering another soon! I'm sold on WizGear. Buy from this brand with confidence!

Very good phone mount. I love it.

I'd been needing a magnetic car-mount for my phone, and after researching, found this one. It got great reviews and seemed to be rock solid-- but I still had concerns over the "suction cup experience". I was concerned that it would not stick to the (somewhat textured) surface of my dash, and I'd have to resort to a slightly-awkward window mount. First I tried the window mount, to plan my retreat position. Of course, it stuck well, and left me with a pretty reasonable setup-- and because of the downward angle of the long arm from the windshield, I learned how to use the "platform lock" (the tightening ring around the magnetic mount) to secure the phone at the correct angle. So far so good. Next I figured I'd try the dashboard mount-- it was a bit tricky to find a spot flat and close enough, but once I picked my spot, it was locked on the first attempt. Once I tightened everything down, I had a rock solid setup. WOW. The biggest test, I figured, would be when the car heated up and the suction cup would be tested-- and to my surprise, there was NO TEST. The thing didn't even appear to have noticed the change in temperature-- it was still locked solidly on my dash. I have had to re-tighten the mount point lock a couple times (it's doing a great job given all the motion and force it endures) but I'd expect that to be the norm from this type of device. So far, the mount has been in my car for over a week-- no loss of suction, no loss of phone..... ALL GOOD.

My story: I finally got this to work...with a little extra effort. First, the magnetic hold is awesome. I put the supplied metal plate on the back of my 8" Samsung tablet, which btw way weights close to a pound (15.94 oz). And the sucker snapped in solid. Then I tested the suction cup with tablet mounted, by attaching it to a window in my house. It held for 24 hrs, no problem. But I was worried about the dash of my car. It has a pebbly texture and a slight curve. So I stuck it on, and it held for a few hours. I left it overnight, and it popped off. So I did some looking and found a <brand deleted> mounting plate just for this purpose (see photo) and put that on. It pulled loose after 12 hrs (I had let it "set" for 48 hours). Well I had a nice round mounting pad, so I concentrated on trying to fix it better to the dash. Research led me to the<brand deleted> "Plastic Bonder", which had impressive reviews It mixes like any two-part epoxy. Applied it to the back of the <brand deleted> pad, after I removed the adhesive coated wafer. I let it cure for 24 hrs and it seemed rock solid. Oh btw, I cleaned the vinyl with denatured alcohol at the very start of this project. So at this point its held on for about 36 hours with no problem. I might mention that there's another <brand deleted> product that might work even better called<brand deleted> Plastic Weld. It specifically mentions that it bonds to vinyl (which the Bonder didn't say). And the holding strength is higher. But the Bonder worked fine. So far so good. I wanted to stabilize this medium sized tablet so I could have a handy GPS screen at my finger tips. It also works great for fast forwarding through sections of podcasts. Good luck gadget enthusiasts!

Works great, as advertised

WixGear is a supposed to be a too of the line product. Which is why I got this. Everything is of good quality in build and design. Except the magnet, or maybe the metal plate or both. The metal plate has to be on the outside of any protective phone case. The magnet can't attach to the plate if it isn't. Also if you do get the metal plate to adhere to the protective phone case it's too heavy for the magnet to hold. Unless you have a really lightweight case or use both styles of plates to make a bigger area for the magnet to stick to. Not to mention that when driving the vibration causes it to slip or fall off. Good product, just weak.

Awesome mount. The base is thick, slightly squishy and has a light glue around it. The seal it creates is very secure. It will not mount onto the surface of my dash, which has a small pattern, but will on a flat surface, even if it is not glass. It also will not fall off in as little time as a harder plastic base would (the ones you have to lick (if you're like me and lick your mounts to add a seal)). It is more of a pain to take off once mounted, but that's not a bad thing. I was a little concerned at first the glue would get contaminated because I was mounting, pulling off and moving it many times to find the perfect spot. It did not and has maintained a great hold, even with the force of my plus sized phone being on it while I drive. The Arm is perfect. I would highly recommend this over a shapeable arm, because those are weaker. This holds the phone exactly where I want it all the time. The only issue I have had is the magnet plate loosened, which someone has added a video of in their review below. It was a slight nuisance because it rattles but if you run into this it is an easy fix. Just unscrew the magnet plate from the mount arm until the threads are completely exposed and pull the plate off the ball joint. On the back of it, inside the threads, is a little rubber cup. Simply pop the cup out with a screw driver and there is a phillips head screw. Tighten that and put it back together. Not a big deal at all, so I didn't take off a star for it.

I'm a salesman & drive a lot. Just commuting to & from work I do about 50K with appointments nearly 70K. I rely on my Phone/GPS to help me cut through NY metro traffic so a good mount is a must. I've avoided buying this type of phone holder for years, I thought that it would be too bulky & a distraction. This mount to date is one of the better I've owned. The suction cup holds the mount securely the dash of my 2014 Patriot & is not nearly as obtrusive as I thought it would be. The long reach arm is fantastic, puts my phone in easy reach & further away from the vents which has caused overheating in the past. The large magnetic pad holds my Note 8 securely & it doesn't drift on rough roads. I'm not going to say that this is going to be my last mount but it is the best I've had to date. Edit: Now that I've owned this mount for a year, I have to go on record & make the bold statement that this is the best mount I've owned! Only one minor issue arose recently, the bracket that attaches the magnetic pad to the ball joint loosened & my phone became very wobbly. I took the pad off, removed the rubber cushion, tightened the small Phillips screw, reassembled & remounted onto my dash. I was so please with the quality & function of this product that I purchased two more as gifts for family members. Keep up the great work WizGear!

Product is great, with a magnet and suction cup that will hold for an eternity! The device is infinitely adjustable as well, making it easy to put anywhere in the vehicle! Great price as well and well worth the marginal investment if you want a clean and easy to use phone holder in your car!

Facil de colocar.el iman aguanta muy bien una tablet

Me gustó. Tiene mucha fuerza 👍🏻

So much better than my previous holder, i have a cover on my phone and the metal disk stuck on the inside of the cover nicely, the grip is great, and although there is a slight vibration, its not enough to affect the ability to see the screen. I did wonder if the phone would slide around, but it has never moved at all, definitely worth the money.

Ho regalato il prodotto al mio ragazzo il quale lo utilizza per il pullman su cui lavora ed è pienamente soddisfatto!
