I purchased this mount for my iPhone XS that sits in a pelican case. I was initially concerned that the case would be too “heavy duty” to be used with this mount, but took a chance. Due to version 2 having two (2) magnets, I believe it made all the difference in being able to use my case. It’s sits firm and I can feel the strength of the pull/hold as I attach and detach the phone. The phone does slip/slide to the side if I’m on very bumpy roads, but if it’s a well paved roadway, I have no problems at all. I feel if I had a lighter weight case, that slippage would be virtually eliminated.
I attached the larger metal plate of the included two (2) to the bottom end of the case, where the charging cable would go. I did so as I was planning to try wireless charging in the future and needed to keep the back of the phone clear of obstruction as much as possible. I have yet to try that feature and don’t know as of yet if my placement of the large metal plate will prohibit that.
Because I placed the large plate at the bottom edge of the case, orienting the phone portrait wise isn’t as stable due to the leverage and weight of the phone and case. If wanting to orient the phone horizontally, I’d recommend placing a metal plate in the center of the case/phone. This is no problem for me as my phone sits primarily in the vertical position.
The vent clips and lock are solid. The plastic material is thick and appears to be quite heavy duty. For the few weeks that I’ve owned this mount, I’ve had no problems with the mount on my vent (placed on a 2018 Toyota 4Runner, far left, driver side) or it’s stability.
The magnets affecting the phone function are zero. Rare earth magnets are used so it won’t affect electronics or demagnetize things.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this mount to anyone looking for a phone mounting solution. I was thinking of going with a cradle, but am real happy that I went the magnetic route. Phone is on and off in seconds and is extremely minimal.
Great mount. I have been using extensively for the past two weeks and it works fantastic, iOttie has done it again!
I am using this mount on an iPhone XS Max with an Otterbox Symmetry case. While the large silver plate is not strong enough through the case, the small black plate installled on the outside of my case works flawlessly. If I do not use the case, the silver plate sticks very well to the mount.
This mount may run into problems with larger, heavier phones as the actual vent grips may not fit every vehicle well. (-1 star)
The plates do not interfere with wireless charging, when placed near the bottom of the device, but heat from the phone did appear to warm up the magnetic plates during my use. I would eye on the side of caution for those who plan on still using wireless charging.
The product is well made. The magnet is strong enough to hold my Note 8 in an OtterBox defender case. The attachment to the vent is strong and well designed. The problem I had was that the weight of the phone would cause the vent to turn with every bump or change in direction. This would then cause enough momentum for the phone to fall off the magnet. This might not be an issue on some vehicles depending on the design of the vent. I returned it and purchased the suction cup mount.
After viewing many negative review, I was worried that it might happen to my phone XR about the battery, but it works fine on my phone! Yay!
Even though my phone case is bit heavy, it hold fine as magenetic is strong to hold against it.
It is easy to assembled and easier to attach to vent.
I would definitely recommend this products to my friends who have car!
Really awesome phone holder. Love it. Only downfall is metal tab on phone interferes with wireless charging. So I have to take the phone case off.

I bought this as a gift. I haven't heard how they like it but I have one and love it. The magnet holds it well and it fits nicely in my vent.
This product works great! My iPhone XS Max has a pretty bulky case on it and the magnet still holds it in place. The mount stays put on my car vent. I have not experienced any battery drainage as some others have mentioned. Even better than the product is the customer service of this company! Would definitely recommend this product.
I love this device! I had bought a cup holder for phone that did not fit and was in the way of my shifting. The iOttie is out of the way, visible and does not block my view like my other suction cup device.
The product arrived in two business days and works as advertised. Easy to assemble, even easier to attach to the vent register. The strong magnetic clasp will allow me to be hands free in the car without issue and concern.
Good quality, strong magnet. Would recommend.
