Nite Ize STF-01-R7 Original Steelie FreeMount Bracket - Additional FreeMount for Steelie Magnetic Phone Mounting Systems Black

First on I had lasted 2 years before it quit holding my phone. I purchased a second one that only last one month. The magnet is strong and hold the mount in place, the clamp is the weak point. We will see what they say about a replacement. If not I hope I can get the mount off the dash cleanly I’m done. Will update if service is good. Update: I spoke with the manufacturer and they sent me the newest model free of charge. I was told this model is known to have these issues and has been discontinued. I have had the newer model for over a week now. It holds the phone great and seems to be more mechanically durable. Id recommend buying the new model and if there are any issues they have great customer service.

only complaint i have about this is that i have to squeeze pretty card to get it to click/lock into a position tight enough to hold my phone. if i go one less click then it is loose...other than that this pairs really well with the a car mount from nite ize, or you can just stick it to anything metal which is very convenient in many situations!..i use this with the car mount that has suction cup for your windshield and a metal ball on the end of an adjustable/swinging arm..works great in the car. very sturdy and no bumps will ever be stronger than the magnets holding it to your car mount...worth it! oh and best part is you dont always have to use it..very very easy to remove and put on..just keep in mind on my samsung phones i have to squeeze it just a tad hard to get it to hold onto my phone...not like its breaking it or anything, though!

I have bought 2 of these mounts with zero problems. love them! A year later one of them Messed up, would not hold my phone. I called customer service a YR later and spoke to a real person who was awesome, very polite and understanding and sent me a new mount no question asked. I can’t believe there is a company out there like this still! I will only buy product from them now on and love them! thank you very much NITE IZE great product and great customer support love it.... can’t thank you enough!!!!

We purchased the phone holder at a local store, but wanted to change out phone case and magnet was stuck to it so we had to purchase another case therefore needed another magnet ordered it thinking it was the same size did not know there was different sizes in this magnet. Make sure you’re ordering the one that is the correct size for your phone case but good quality and was exactly like the one we purchase in the store and a few dollars cheaper.

I had a Steelie magnet mount which required a magnet on my phone. Once I upgraded phones I wanted to do away with the phone magnet, so I found the free mount bracket! It works wonderfully so far! I have had it about 3 months with no issues whatsoever. I do wish the part you place your phone in felt sturdier than it does, but again, there have been no issues so far. The phone stays in place even while going over bumps and the quick release lever is super easy to use. Overall this is a great product!

Exactly what I needed,this magnet is strong enough to stick to the fridge without sliding down with the phone attached to it..try it.

I've been using the Freemount Bracket for 4 years now and have found one common weak point that, at this stage, I believe can now be called a design flaw. The good (when brand new) - it's easy to use, clamps down on the phone well, and the magnet with rubber grip holds quite well on the Steelie Ball. The bad - to release the phone from the Freemount Bracket you must press a lever located on the side of mount's center piece. That "release lever" is held in position via a combination of metal spring, gear teeth, and a plastic pin. The plastic pin is the design flaw. Using the Freemount Bracket daily, clamping and unclamping my phone 4-6 times per day, I have to replace the entire Freemount Bracket every 6-8 months due to the plastic pin breaking off which causes the release lever to disengage from the gear teeth. Since it doesn't engage, the Freemount Bracket will no longer clamp and hold the phone. I finally switched to a different mount because I'm tired of buy these. The manufacturer doesn't seem to want to upgrade the Freemount Bracket to make it more rigid. Perhaps if used sparingly the device will last longer.

Been using Steelie's for nearly 10 years now. Love the magnet and confidence I get when I use this product. However, I also use Otterbox cases, which the adhesive won't stick to. So previously, the only way around using the Steelie for me was to try and adhere the socket to the belt clip that Otterbox provides and keep that in my car. Found this product this summer when I got my new Samsung 21 Ultra. Was worried about my phone being too big, but this works on the 21 Ultra. I also have an iPhone 8 for work. Works on that as well. No more adhesive strips or superglue or belt clips!
