MAGDM MagicMount Magnetic Car Phone Holder - Strong Magnet Mount for iPhone and Android - Secure Magnetic Cell Phone Mount for Dash - Universal 360° Adjustable Mobile Cellphone Holder

I finally decided to add a phone mount in my truck after avoiding them for many years. I got my first Scosche unit at a big box retailer. It worked like a charm for my iPhone 5S in a Ballistic case. I put the magnet inside the case without even sticking it using the tape. The mount attached to my dash easily and stayed there no problem with the double back tape pre-installed on the mount. Using this made driving much safer and kept my eyes up about dash level even when answering incoming calls or looking at the GPS. Later, I bought a second one here at Amazon for my iPhone 6+ in a Ballistic case. I did the same setup as before, bu I used the larger magnet provided inside the case because it's a heavier/larger phone. I had two problems that do not deter me from giving this a 5-star rating, but I want to share to help others out: 1) While the Ballistic case for my iPhone 6+ is thin, it's not *as* thin as the one I had on my iPhone 5S so the magnet doesn't work as well. Big bumps or rutted dirt roads will shake the phone right off the mount and it will fall. The 6+ is heavier and larger so maybe that's the issue, but I think it's the case. I have considered putting the magnet on the outside of the case. That said, this system works like a charm and i do like the magnet vs. other systems I've seen 2) The tape that holds the mount on the dash completely failed me when I tried to mount this to my van dash. The first one I purchased mounted perfectly on a very smooth surface in my Nissan Frontier, but in a Chevy cargo van, the slightly textured dash didn't hold the stickiness and it just fell off. I went out and bought some super-duty double back tape at Home Depot and that didn't work either. In the end, I need GPS for my business so I just peeled off all the residue on the mount and super-glued it to the dashboard of the van. Be aware that the tape provided will not stick effectively to a textured surface. Bottom line, the ease of just slapping the phone right up on the mount (sometimes without even having to look) and being able to grab it off with ease, makes for a super-great car mount. I don't plan to use anything else.

I needed a dash holder for my iphone that works with a pop socket. Sounds simple, right? I would be but my car doesn’t have a good surface to mount a phone holder and I didn’t want to obstruct my air vents with a vent mount. Then, I saw this! Thinking it could work for me, I purchased it. This piece was the perfect size that I could squeeze in between my air vents but angle down to not interfere with vent flow. Since it’s magnetic and I don’t have a magnetic pop socket case, I found on Amazon, of course, a thin magnet made to stick to the top of the pop socket. It’s the same size with no overlap so it’s a seamless look. Together with this dash mount, it’s amazing. I can angle the mount with my phone attached and it’s super sturdy. There’s no spinning, vibrations, or dropping my phone. It’s a magnetic bond is strong! The only thing I will say is that the adhesive that came with the product wasn’t very good. So I replaced it with a 3M double sided strip and voila!

Great product

Simply the best phone mount you can buy. I have tried several other magnet mounts and at least 3 clamp on mounts and none of them are as good as this one. I have purchased three of these and I did have one that the adhesive pad didn't stick at first but after a quick email i was sent a replacement and have had no problems since. I love how i can basically toss my phone at this mount and it just grabs on. It doesn't wiggle or drop the phone and with my galaxy S5 it isn't the smallest phone out there. I also love how I can use a phone with a case and it doesn't interfere with functionality. i can have my setup exactly as i want it with no compromises. i haven't tried the other variants of this mount but i would like to have the suction cup versions because i can't stand going on a trip in someone else's car without my mount. i have and will recommend this to all of my friends and family. I will also be buying more of these for the passenger side in all of my cars.

I have noticed that these reviews are for all versions of the mount- suction cup, dash, cd, and vent. I think that is confusing. They should be reviewed separately. I am reviewing the Scosche MAGDM MagicMount Universal magnetic mount for the dash. So I tried a steel ball kind of magnetic mount and its magnetic strength was a joke. Then I learned to put the metal plate between the two layers of my dual layer phone case instead of between the phone and entire case. I still think the steel ball case would have failed. And it was heavy. Some have said that is great because it feels so sturdy and high quality. Then others complain that it won't stick to the dash...hmmm. Well, the Scosche is light weight. I think it's going to have a much better chance of staying on a horizontal surface of my dash. This mount actually works. It seems just strong enough for the bumpiest of rides. However, if I hit it just right on the corner with my hand on the way to the dash controls, it can lose its grip on my phone. I wish I could find one with a stronger magnet. And I wanted to install the larger metal plate inside my case, but it would not fit horizontally on an S8. The plate had to be trimmed with a grinder in order for it to fit in sideways. The smaller plate would have fit, but it seems too small to do much good behind the first layer of my case. I really like how the mounting base can be bent to fit the curve of a mounting surface. The hold on the slick surface of my dash (therein may lie the key-slick) is great. But we have very hot summers and it remains to be seen whether the adhesive will hold. I will try to update if it fails.

This is an excellent product! It's easy to install, small, stays put, holds an iPhone 6 with a small metal plate on the back of its case securely. I found a place that has only a little curve to mount this in my car and the flexible base allowed a perfect fit. I use it mostly for my phone, often with a charge cord and mini cord to my car audio unit attached. The extra weight is not a problem. My next step is to put a plate on the back of my GPS. It is easy to place a phone or other device without being distracted; nothing to push, pull, or squeeze. Just get it near and this thing grabs. If you put a plate inside a case the phone may slip a bit if the case has a slippery back. That's the only issue to watch out for. Anything metal will work and the included plates (and the extra ones sold on Amazon) look fine and attach with excellent adhesive. Don't worry about having a strong magnet against your iPhone; I've done it for years with different phones and iPod Touches with no ill effects. I do not have experience with brands other than Apple, however, but I assume there would not be a problem. This is my favorite mount, and I've tried many over the years.

I read each and every review on this product before buying. My only concern was hot temps and potentially mounting on the non-smooth dash. I found a smooth metal location in my Miata - part of the faceplate for the CD player. Flat and smooth and PERFECT location for the mount! I wouldn't be able to assess how the adhesion handled our 100 degree Summer months because I would be installing this in December. I followed the directions precisely and installed the mount. Three days after installation, I came out in the garage and got in my car only to realize that the mount had fallen off WITH NO PHONE MOUNTED! The sticky adhesive from the mount was left on my dash while the rest just fell off. Now I'm left with a mess. This adhesive is tough to remove. I guess I'll have to go out and get "Goo-Off". I bought this after a recommendation from a friend. He was very proud of his install. He had his over a week or so and when I got in his truck we noticed his mount was "starting" to peel off. He pressed it back on and I haven't heard lately if it's a problem. My recommendation is - save your accessories and box in case you need to return the item.

I wanted to be able to give this a 5 star. I ordered it with high hopes from reading reviews but was sadly let down. Upon opening the package which was easily done and very well conceived I noticed the quality of the product. It came with a small metal plate for your phone and a larger one for your tablet. I tested the strength of each plate on the magnet and everything seemed good. Next I attached the small plate to the back of my Iphone 6. I checked the hold and power of the magnet and it appeared strong. I put my Spigen case back onto my phone and then tried attaching it and noticed it wasn't as strong. I held the base with the phone on it and simulated bumps and swerves that I could expect to encounter while driving. The phone slipped right off and fell. I don't really hold that against the product because I think it would be a stretch for any magnet and plate hold tight with a case separating them. So I attached the larger plate to the outside of my case and then tried again with my makeshift test. This time everything went great! The magnets held tight and the phone didn't move. At this point I decided to place the dash mount where I wanted it in the car. I cleaned the spot and dried it off thoroughly. I place the mount into the spot pressing down firmly for a good solid minute. I let the mount sit for a few additional minutes just to give it extra time to "cure". Upon placing my phone onto the mount everything seemed fine at first. Then after a few minutes the mount began to pull loose. It was coming up at the back of the plate. I tried pressing it down again a little harder this time. Still no luck as I tried the phone again. I had followed the directions exactly and to be honest this isn't really rocket science with a sticky tab. It was a nice, clean, dry flat spot that should of worked easily. I tested the swivel on the mount and locking it into one place. It's tough to get to if it were mounted to the dash for my fat fingers. You have to lock it down really tight to get it to hold and not move. I found this a little lacking but considering I couldn't mount it to the dash that wasn't really my biggest concern. So to wrap up this review the magnet works great! The swivel locked down is ok but nothing great. The dash mount doesn't hold upon installation so it fails at it's primary job. I ultimately will use it but I'll have to find my own way to make the mount hold to the dash. Maybe velcro or some 3M product. Sadly disappointed in the product but I'll keep it and try to make my own method to get it to work.

Yo tenia mis dudas al comprar este soporte para el coche ya que tenia un iman dude que sirviera como lo prometía, primero compre el de la ventila pero funcionaba tanto el iman que al retirarlo se venia el soporte de la ventila así que compre el que se pegaba al tablero y estoy mas que feliz la verdad es una gran compra, tiene un pegamento de la marca 3M que se adhiere muy bien al tablero y por que halla calor en el coche y le de el sol jamas se va a despegar tengo este es el segundo que compro para otro coche y el primero del que me hice tengo mas de año y medio y no ha pasado nada no se ha movido ni se ha despegado lo recomiendo ampliamente!!!. les recomiendo pegar la placa metálica a la funda del celular ya que así mejora exponencialmente la atracción al iman, por cierto el iman no daña en nada al teléfono yo tengo un iphone y no tienen ningún problema.

Well made but instructions vague and small type, this is the second one purchased for my wife's car I had mine from phone shop while ago.

Came to me opened and there’s missing pieces

We love this dash mount! It makes mounting our phones on the dash soooo easy! We've had it for over a year in our 2017 RAV4 and have had zero issues with adhesion. The magnets are strong enough for even heavier iPhones (iPhone 8 plus and iPhone 13 pro). We decided not to stick the magnets to our phones and instead just sandwiched the magnet between the phone and the case and that's worked out great for both of us. We don't use wireless charging so that might be a pain with this system if that's what you use (I believe you would have to remove the case and magnet every time you wanted to wirelessly charge).

Great product. I’ve purchased it for 3 different cars and so great to be able to interchange phones between the cars. Very strong magnet!
