Scosche MAGPCUP MagicMount PowerHub Magnetic Car Cup Holder Phone Mount - Strong Magnet Car Mount for iPhone and Android - Secure Magnetic Cell Phone Holder - USB Charging Ports for Multiple Devices

I highly recommend this MAGPCUP model for its quality, unique feature set, and industry leading 3-year warranty. (I love this. Who gives you that, anymore, for small devices like this?) And they have a customer service dept that aims to please. I’m now two years into my ownership and constant use of the MAGPCUP in a Ford E350 van with lots of vibration, dust and moisture. It offers a unique feature set and form factor, which is why, I guess, they raised the price by $10 in the two years since my purchase in early 2020. I’m extremely happy with this product, even at what I considered a high price of $30, but I balked at its $40 price when I sought to replace it a month ago. Happily, this item was built to be repaired and maintained. The company was able to supply me, under warranty, the missing parts I required to get my original mount charging again - hence my happiness. I have encountered two minor issues (discussed at the bottom of this review) which seem somewhat at odds with the generally excellent design and manufacture. Otherwise, I detail below the many qualities I value in this charging phone mount. Purchased in Feb 2020. For two years, I’ve been using this MAGPCUP in my Ford E350 center console, which has funny-sized and shaped cut-outs and only two smallish cupholders, neither available for this device. The tri-footed mechanism for gripping the interior of any size cup-holder was enough for me to situate it in an oddly shaped cut-out, in a particular way as to establish firm placement. Bravo. Furthermore, this item never vibrates loose on its own, unlike anything else in this vehicle. This item has survived a lot of dust and moisture (though never moisture while charging). Even the magnetic mount, with it’s fancy grippy rubbery surface, has survived two years looking new after I recently wiped it. Rubber surfaces often fail and become sticky or come off in pieces, well before a useful item is ready to return. Glad to see this Scosche model looks as good as new after two years. Summary: - Unique: MAGPCUP model seems to be unique. I could not find another cup-holder base, hi-neck magnetic phone mount, with two 12V charging ports, anywhere online. Literally no other form factor would suit my needs nearly as effectively and efficiently in my space. The rest of the highlights I list below are also largely unique and hard to find in this product space. - Dual 12V Power Expansion: I’m a charging device snob, and want to use my own power adapters (in this case, 12V USB car chargers) to charge my expensive devices. Hence, rather than plug my devices directly into the USB power ports on the Scosche MAGPCUP, my passenger and I each have a dual USB port car charger for our devices, plugged into the two 12V ports on the MAGPCUP, in the center console, a location convenient to both of us. This is far better than relying on just my one 12V port, near the driver, with no such power source anywhere near my passenger. [I have no reason to believe that MAGPCUP’s USB charging isn’t up to snuff, but since it’s not their primary business, I prefer using my own USB car chargers with safety features and brand reputation that meet my needs.] - Space-Saving Multi-functional: I need the space-saving feature of having “dual power extensions” provided in the same console space as my high-rise magnetic phone mount. - Hi-rise Neck: The tall mount is a necessity in my tall van, so I don’t have to look too far down, away from the road, to see the GPS on my phone. - Strong Magnet: for a regular size phone (6” diagonal). I do a lot of bumpy terrain that gets everything vibrating in the van and my phone (in Otterbox Symmetry case) stays in place on the magnetic mount very well, but my phone’s not very big. - Longevity & Quality: Although the black Scosche metal plate (that I adhered to the back of my phone case) lost much of its paint over the past two years, and looks really ugly, the rest of the MAGPCUP looks as good as new, after the dust is wiped off. Even the grippy rubbery surface of the magnet mount looks brand new, which seems quality to me because rubbery surfaces often disintegrate too soon (esp in Florida heat). - Highly Functional Design: The tri-foot extension mechanism can grib an odd shaped space pretty well. It never comes loose over time (despite my high-vibration ride), even as I twist the upper part of the MAGPCUP to point the magnetic mount at a more convenient angle. The 12V ports on either side of the hi-neck mount are super-convenient for charging access by two people. - Safety Features: I don’t know how to assess Scosche’s electronics, except that they’re a reputable brand so they’re probably using industry standard safety practices in their charging devices. I HAVE noticed the nice large user-accessible fuse in the 12V charger piece. Good to know a surge or spike won’t hurt anything across that boundary. I did actually overdraw charge on this unit once (with a high speed PP/PPS car charge providing juice to a hungry samsung tablet), and it “shut off” so no more power went through. I forgot what I did to revive things, but I believed it just worked again, once I’d removed the offending power draws. I did not need to replace the fuse, so I’m not sure what part “tripped” and most astounding … - Replaceable Fuse: There’s a metal screw ring at the tip of the 12V charger (the part you stick in your car’s 12V port). By unscrewing this, the tip will come off and you’ll find a fuse and a copper spring inside. I’m so impressed that Scosche wanted this quality product to be field serviceable for something that might reasonably go wrong, without killing the MAGPCUP electronics completely. - Excellent Customer Support & Warranty: I recently emailed Scosche customer service (per their web page on warranty claims) to request replacement of the four tiny parts (fuse, spring, metal ring, etc) which got lost when, once again, the metal ring came off the end of the 12V charger, without me detecting it. Jeremy at Scosche customer service was extremely responsive and will be mailing me replacement parts. He also provided a form/procedure for requesting a new cable, if I determined that would better address my problem, Minor Issues: - Easily loosened metal screw ring at tip of 12V charger leads to lost parts: Sadly, my enthusiasm about a user-replacable fuse only came after the 2nd or 3rd time the metal screw ring came undone by itself, leaving four tiny parts dispersed across the area well before I realized I had a problem. In all but the most recent case I was able to find the parts and get it working again. This time, I had to ask the company to replace the lost parts, which they speedily handled. - DC Cable plug won’t come out. I can’t seem to remove the curly power cable from the MAGPCUP unit. Last time it was a struggle, and it seems a plastic ring on the DC jack was hanging up on the interior of the DC power input port. Now, I can’t unplug that jack (to detach the power cable) at all. It won’t come out, and I’m afraid to pull any harder for fear of breaking something. - Tiny “power available” lights (on 12V charger/adapter and on the MAGPCUP unit itself) presumably are responsible for a parasitic drain. Since my sole driver’s area 12V port provides always-on power (even when the engine is turned off and key removed), I need to unplug the MAGPCUP every time I leave the car, so I don’t accidently drain the battery. The power lights are a nice feature sometimes, but I wish I could disable any parasitic drains related to this MAGPCUP, so I wouldn’t have to unplug it every single time.

Well thought out and good design. The "neck" that holds the portable device is very strong and can hold much more than an iPhone 8+. As with any Scosche product the magnets are strong. Recommend that you put the magnet on the outside of your phone case as indicated in instructions as I made the mistake of thinking that I should put the magnet on the inside of the case because it would be strong enough and didn't want to have anything on the outside of my Otterbox case on a previous Scosche product I had purchased. REALLY appreciate how the top swivels to be able to show passenger the phone face, without the Magpcup coming out of the cup holder or the phone falling off. Appreciate the small coin holder for tolls. The "fingers" that extend out of the base to hold "Magpcup" in place, do a great job of performing as expected.

If this had a charging spot/cord to charge your phone attached to the upright stem, it would be perfect. So. I took a short charging cable I had and taped it to the stem leaving just enough of the cord to plug into my cell phone while driving and plugged it into one of the two ports on the base. It works perfectly. I can adjust it for the drivers position or for the passengers position. It is tall enough to not interfere with the shifter and short enough to not interfere with the steering wheel. Hope the next ones have this feature installed into the base to maybe snap it into the base to charge and hide the cord inside the stem. I would love to buy one with those features!

I had seen an ad for another "expensive brand"'s phone-cup holder and had nothing but issues, it got in the way of my shift stick (sorry, I'm a woman), and my husband would always throw it in the back seat. He bought one for himself and that one sucked too. I finally decided to just adhere a magnet on my dash. My husband freaked (it's a newer truck and we're doing all we can to keep it nice). So I figured I was gonna try one last time. I googled "Top 10 cup phone holders" or something to that effect. This SCOSCHE came up in several different formats (magnet on the dash, clip for the vents, etc), but I specifically wanted one to go in the cup holder. Installation was a breeze and the magnet is extremely powerful, so it never even falls off. Best part? It's adjustable so that it's no longer in the way when my husband drives! I LOVE THIS PRODUCUT!?!?!?!

So this thing is really substantial! It's a little bit bigger than I imagined, but there's a good bit of engineering that went into it to get it to fit a variety of cup holders and once secured really seems stable and reliable. Twist the bottom most ring to get the mounting device to expand, one secure the cup will rotate almost 360 degrees as an added bonus. I've used other products from this company and have learned to hold on to the gooseneck base prior to repositioning it so as not to loosen it from the cup portion.

I got this for my wife's car. I have a few issues with this item. 1. The magnet interferes with my Galaxy cordless charging pad. It just won't charge, so now I have gone back to plugging in a charger cable. A small hassle, but I paid for the pads that are now useless unless I take off the cover of my phone. 2. The 12v power cord was cracked and defective out of the box. I have attached pictures. It appears that the cord has been setting in the heat for a while or something as there are multiple cracks on the rubber coating the wires. I had this happen to another charger I had but that was after about 3 or 4 years in my car sitting in the hot Florida sun. The holder is nice and holds very strong.

It's a bit bulkier than expected but honestly it's been one of the better car holders I've had. Strong magnet, strong arm to hold my phone. I have a galaxy fold and even fully opened, the magnet holds it without tilt or anything. Def recommend the product.

Used in a 2011 Ford Ranger manual. Love my truck but no modern usb plugs, plus no good way to hang my phone. This solves it all and let's me see my phone at a decent height with the magnet holder. I like the magnets more than the vent clips since my phone is heavy and I'm afraid I'll snap a vent fin. Has both cig and usb plugs so best of all worlds. The only draw back is losing 1 of the 2 cup holders. I'll need to add one of those two in one expansion cup holders now.

Buena opción para celular

Get it, you won't regret it, perfect for keeping your cell phone low and facing you, and ready for you to grab it at anytime under the steering wheel being very discreet.

Es un muy buen producto. En el tema de adhesión es excelente, el teléfono jamás se ha caído, y los dos puertos usb son excelentes, aunque creo que los otros dos cargadores, tipo cenicero, están de más. Algo grande y me costó trabajo adecuarlo al lugar de mi carro, que por cierto es muy pequeño. En general creo que vale la pena tenerlo

Muy comodo y no estorba

Excelente producto, llego a tiempo y rápido
