WixGear Magnetic Phone Holder for Car, Twist-Lock Air Vent Car Phone Holder with Swift-Snap Technology, Secure Grip Car Phone Mount, Compatible with All Smartphones, Strong Magnets

I have purchased two of these magnetic mounts, and I have been extremely pleased with their performance. I've used mine for about 7 months and recently bought the same model for my grandparents to use on their long distance drives. In my 2012 Ford Escape, my vents are horizontal, but in my grandparent's 2019 GMC Terrain, the vents are vertical. This mount works equally well in both styles.Pros:-Incredibly easy to use! Get in car, snap phone on holder. Done!-Rotates so you can get the right viewing angle for multiple users (my husband & I both us it with no issues) - and it stays where I position it (not weighed down by phone)-Perfect viewing level for me - don't have to look far to see screen & therefore be distracted from the road (I'm 5'2", for reference)-Extremely secure - my phone has never slipped, fell off, or moved at all once it's on the mount (as long as you keep it tightened)-Magnet is hidden inside phone case, so it's completely invisible (see photo)-No suction cup marks on the windshield!-Comes with multiple magnets so you can use more than one device-Solves the issue of the textured dashboard - I can't use dashboard mounts due to the glue not sticking to the texture ; and again, does not need to be mounted to windshield with suction cups which can be very finickyCons:-Since it connects to an air vent, depending on your vehicle, you may be limited on placement-Again, since it connects to an air vent, it does block some of the airflow (a slight bummer when you try to blast AC mid-summer); also, it restricts the up/down movement of the vent a bit in my vehicle (2012 Ford Escape)-The adjustable clamp for inside the air vents has to be periodically tightened to maintain "stiffness" (i.e. phone doesn't weigh mount down - when it gets loose sometimes the whole mounts will come off with my phone, but it's easily fixed by tightening)-The magnet is quite strong, so you can't just rip the phone off the mount or the whole thing might come off the vent - I've found it helps to "roll" it off to the side and it pops right off without moving the mount clips on the ventOverall, highly recommended. This mount has been very reliable and I use it at least weekly. It is small and compact and could be used on travel, in rental cars, etc. Just don't forget it in your rental car!

Got this item yesterday. Grabbed it from the mailbox while at the house for lunch, and had it figured out and ready to go in less than 5 minutes. I have a Commuter case from Otterbox, so I just popped the exoskeleton off the case, aligned the metal piece (which is sufficiently thick enough to create a strong attraction to the magnets inside the swiveling head), then put the exoskeleton back on, so that it sits between the plastic of the exoskeleton and the rubber of the case surrounding the phone. I attached the phone and then tried to shake it loose. It didn't detach until I was really giving it hell. If your phone detaches because of road vibrations, then you must have some seriously messed up roads.I've seen a few reviews that claim the unit won't stay attached to their vent, and that it pulls loose. That hasn't been my experience so far. The grip is strong, and the thumb lever/screw provides sufficient torque to hold. Perhaps the problem lies in how they're removing their phone? Despite how strongly it holds, it removes very easily just by levering uip one side, which breaks the pull of the magnets. By doing that, the base never budges for me. Do note, however, that his mount won't work on circular vents. It needs to be a louvered vent. My side vents are circular, and I guess they're looser or something because the weight of the phone just pulled it down.I've just started doing some part-time driving with Uber and had been looking for something that would work for that situation. I was looking at ProClips, which uses the seams on your dashboard to mount their product. Probably the best option if money isn't an issue, but the total cost of the base plus the specific phone mount is close to $70. Not an amount I want to spend to simply have a dependable phone mount. Plus each base and mount is designed for a specific car and phone. Change phones or cars and you have to change either your base or your mount. And you know you're going to be changing phones every couple of years.I first tried one of the cigarette lighter mounts because that seemed like it would be the best of both worlds. Able to charge and mount within the same unit. Unfortunately, the model I purchased was pretty unstable and would vibrate its way out and disconnect from the power. And the gooseneck was too short and stiff to really get it where you wanted it. Plus, I was having to look down at my phone to see the screen. This mount brings the phone up on the dashboard so that it's a simple shift of the eyes to see it. And, as I've already said, not a hint of vibration or movement.I'll update if things change, but for now, it looks like a winner to me!

I don't usually write too many positive reviews but this phone mount is just amazing and I wanted to give credit where it's due to the seller. I previously used the 'mainstream' Logitech car vent mount for almost 3 years. That one actually costs more and you only get one, when you really need two, at least for large smartphones ( had the S6, and now S8 plus). The old mount was good, but for safety, I put two on. Also, the 'clip' kept coming off the air vent whenever I dislodged my phone. In fact, while doing that, I lost 1 of the 2 mounts. And hence, I researched what was available and got this Wizgear amount, which fits my phone much better (much larger rectangular surface area vs. the maybe 1 inch circular Logitech mount. Also, this allows 'twist-lock' tightening of the mount to the air vent, and won't loosen or come off. Lastly, I never liked the Logitech mount because although it was simple aesthetically, the phone could not swivel and provided an off-angle view of the screen , which hinders GPS navigation while driving. The WizGear allows full swivel, is extremely stable (no flapping or vibrating against the vents during bumpy or long highway rides!) and its 'elevated position allows breathing room for the air vent and fan to operate without much blockage. The old mount basically mounted flush to the vent and blocked use of the vents, including heating during the winter, which wasn't ideal. This mount takes care of all the Logitech's weaknesses, and is cheaper to boot. The only thing I'd prefer, which is being anal, is a different color option (I like Logitech's sleek metallic silver). Also, the Wizgear logo is a tad too big for my liking, especially if I don't mount my phone. Still, a fabulous product!
