Scosche MPTFM MagicMount Pro Magnetic Car Phone Holder – Strong Magnet Mount for iPhone and Android – Secure Magnetic Flush Mount for Car Dashboard – Universal 360° Adjustable Mobile Cell Holder

Very nice solution for my Ford F350
I’ve had this in my truck (08′ F350 King Ranch 4×4) for a few months now and there are a few things about it that I like vs. the Nato magnetic mount that’s in my wifes car. The footprint that actually sticks to the dash is not too large, I was able to find a spot for it on the center stack of my F350 that was within reach and visible. This is on-par with the Nato mount- they are almost identical in footprint.The one thing I was skeptical about when I first got it was the size of both the magnet and the magnetic surface that attaches to my phone case- but it’s a non-issue, it grabs my phone and hasn’t fallen off once. I’m not doing hard off-roading my truck but it’s stuck on there well enough that I’ve stopped thinking about it. My wifes Nato mount again seems solid as well which brings us to the last thing.Both mounts are “ball mounts”- there’s a ball on the phone side of the mount that swivels in a cup with a ring that you tighten when you’ve found the position you like. The Scosche mount can be tightened finger tight and the mount stays exactly where you put it, the Nato mount, even with extra torque on the ring will move after a while and begin to sag/ wiggle. So as far as stability while driving goes the Scosche mount is good- I was up north a week ago on dirt roads and it did well- it flexes a bit when it gets bumpy but a lot less than you’d expect. My wifes Nato mount will begin to move around and loosen up a bit and the phone will sag and flop around- not good. All in all I’m satisfied with the Scosche mount- high quality, easy to mount, solid performance.

Remarkably effective at what it does
I only purchased a smartphone about a year ago, previously being in the flip-phone-for-life crowd, due to the requirements of a job I was on. Since then I have slowly been picking up the various accouterments of such devices, the latest being this magnetic mount. I bought it mostly so I can use Google Maps for navigation.It is remarkably effective. I have a Motorola Moto X4 (which weighs about 165g), in a slim silicon case, and an 05 Subaru Outback. The kit comes with the magnetic mount, two metal plates with adhesive (a rectangular one and a little circular one), a clear adhesive interposer, and, as a nice surprise, an alternate, black bezel.What you do is attach the metal plate to the outside of your case, the inside of your case, or your phone. If you choose the lattermost option, then you don’t attach it directly to the phone, but to the clear adhesive interposer (just a clear plastic sheet with adhesive on both sides), likely to prevent surface damage and dampen shock/reduce possible strain. If you have one of those pop-socket devices, you attach the little metal circle to the center of that instead. Then, you fit the magnetic mount to one of the grilles of your car’s vent system, wherever it is most convenient. Now you can mount your phone to it, the magnet clinging to the metal plate.I attached the metal plate to the inside of my case. It is very thin – I would say 1mm or less – and even on my slim silicon case it leaves only a very slight rise, hardly visible from the outside. I also attached it about 2/5ths of the way up from the bottom of the phone, as recommended (the Moto X4 does not have wireless charging). The magnet adheres quite well to the phone – the silicon case actually slightly pulls away when detaching the phone from the mount – not nearly enough to dislodge the case, but enough to let you know that the magnet is really sticking. As the mount has a rubber pad, and my case has a rubber texture, the phone does not slide at all in any lateral direction, the shear resistance is quite high. I am not concerned about the phone just falling off during normal operation of the car.The tines of the mount grip the vents quite well – I have only had the mount pull off the vents once when detaching the phone after parking. There are two sizes of gaps – narrow and wide – and the narrow gap seems to fit pretty well on the Subaru. I like how you can pivot the mount a little to the left or right, and use the vent’s own hinge to pivot it up and down.There are some basic shortcomings of design. Obviously you can only attach this to the vents of the car, which limits your choice of positioning. I tried putting it on the left vent, but that caught too many outside reflections. I tried the right vent, but my hand was mostly blocking the screen. I tried the left passenger-side vent, but found that this took my eyes too far off the road while checking the navigation. In the end, I went with the driver’s side right vent, since it required the least eye-movement to check navigation and it was actually helpful to have my had block the screen, so as to avoid distraction. The tines hold, but they are not as secure as a hard mount would be. Likewise, the magnet could, in theory, be bumped out of position by kids/pets/carelessness and fall down into the foot well.However, I would generally recommend this, at least as someone’s first mount, to get a feel for what they are looking for if nothing else.

Mejor de lo esperado.

I had a regular Scosche, same product, but not ‘Pro’… Held well, but after a couple of years, my iPhone 7 Plus was too much and it slides around a bit…this new pro holds firmly, no more sliding, and the 2-pack was great value.

Great
