iOttie Velox Magnetic Wireless Charging Car Mount Windshield & Dashboard Phone Holder Mount. MagSafe Compatible for iPhone 12, 13, 12/13 Mini, Pro, Pro Max (Power Supply Included)

Worked perfectly, that’s all I can say

Great to start with but then went pear shaped. First it started to wobble from side to side on the base then the pivot went floppy making it pretty much useless

Just installed this mount; haven’t really tested it out on the road yet, but it feels very solid. Easy to install; I picked this holder because of where I wanted to mount it in my truck (vertically on the inside of a cubby between the console and the dash), and it fits there perfectly. Holds my iPhone 15 firmly out of the way of any controls and air vents. One word of caution to any buyers: be doubly sure of the location of the mounting plate and the angle of the stem before uncovering any of the adhesives - once it’s in place, it isn’t moving. Even the suction cup surface is sticky, and once it touches the base plate, it’s a bugger to remove even before locking down the suction. Which is a good thing once it’s in place. I think it’s going to work out well.

It was hard for me to choose between the Dash version and the Vent version, but I eventually decided to go with the dashboard version as I didn't want to block my car's air vent. That's although all the dashboard mounts I ever bought have dried-out in time due to the hot weather in my country and didn't hold anymore. But I decided to give this one a try anyway. I was very glad to see that the box contains what in first glance looks like a coaster, but it's not(!) It actually serves for a scenario that you have a textured dashboard (like in my case) where the suction of the base of the mount doesn't hold very well since it's not on a flat/smooth surface. The "coaster" comes specifically to aid you in this case - it has a sticky part at the bottom which you need to peel-off the protecting film from, and to stick it in the preferred location on your dashboard – choose the location you put it carefully as once it’s sticked, it would be difficult to take it off to relocate to a different spot. THEN - you need to raise the suction lever of the mount base, to put it on the other flat/smooth surface of the "coaster" and to lower the lever of the mount base firmly. It will hold the mount arm in place like a solid rock! And the telescopic arm is a very convenient feature! Oh, I almost forgot - the MagSafe works great at both holding my iPhone 12 mini in place and in charging it. The only down-side I can point out about (which made me give this review only 4/5 stars and not 5/5) is that the piece that goes into the car's lighter socket doesn't have a led indicator, so you can't really tell if you have a bad fuse if/when it suddenly stops charging.

I think my use case is rare, but I would absolutely buy a non-charging version of this magnetic phone holder. My vents are not in the right place for comfortable use, so I don’t like a vent holder. I drive a Prius, so the dashboard is in the middle and hanging/mounting a phone holder in the middle obstructs the dash. The most ideal place to mount my phone is to the left of the driver’s seat, up close to the A frame. I can glance at the map with minimal gaze shift, and it works perfectly this way. But with this magnetic version, I can’t mount it there unless I’m ok with the charging wire going across my steering column and down over to the cigarette outlet. I’m not ok with that, even if I mount the wire neatly across and down the dashboard. I rarely need to charge my phone AND use the maps simultaneously, so I don’t need a phone holder that also charges. I got the EasyTouch 5 instead…I found it on Amazon Warehouse for 1/4 the price of this one, which is great but it is quite a big clunkier to use. I love the sleek look and one-handed ease of use of this magnetic Velox version, but wish it came in a non-charging version.
