There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have a Motorola X Pure Edition, which is a fairly large/heavy phone with a curved back. I had OEM car docks for all my prior Motorola phones, and I have grown dependent on having a quick, one-handed car mount. However, Motorola does not make an OEM mount for this phone at the moment.
I started out with the iOttie Easy One Touch 2. It worked okay, but it never really felt comfortable to use. The phone sat too low and the mount arms would press the volume down button. I modified the mount but was not happy with the results. Next I moved on to the Urban Gear Mobile Mount. It uses spring tension to hold the phone. It worked well for my smaller phone, but it was always a minor struggle to get the massive Moto X PE into the mount. It was time to try something else.
I had looked at magnet mounts, but was afraid of the effects of magnetism on the phone and did not like the idea of sticking a metal plate onto the back of the phone. Eventually I figured I would give it a try, so I ordered the Akcord model and the WizGear Model together. They were both inexpensive compared to the prior mounts I had used.
Overall, I really like them both, and wish I had tried a magnetic mount before spending the money on the iOttie or Urban Gear mounts.
With the magnet mounts, it is very easy to place the phone on the holder, remove the phone, and plug/unplug it with one hand. It requires no thought or dexterity. The phone is held very securely. Despite its size and weight, the phone does not slide, vibrate, or have any other unwanted movement when driving. It would jiggle like a bowl of Jello in the iOttie holder.
I should also mention that all these particular mounts utilize a 17mm ball attachment. The 17mm ball was used widely by Garmin for their GPS units, and over time the 17mm ball has become somewhat of a standard with car mounts. I dislike suction cups, so both my cars already have 17mm ball attachments attached to the dashboard from my previous mounts. The WizGear magnetic mount comes with an adhesive ball mount, and the Akcord mount has the ball attached to it's suction cup. I only used the magnetic heads from these mounts, setting aside both the suction cup of the Akcord and adhesive base of the WizGear.
The magnets on the Akcord mount appear to be quite a bit stronger than the WizGear, although both mounts hold the heavy phone quite well.
The WizGear unit came with three plates (adhesive rectangle, non-adhesive rectangle, and adhesive circle). These plates are extremely thin and painted shiny black. There is no logo. Despite being very thin, the WizGear plates were very rigid but had a springy-ness that made them almost impossible to re-shape. The Akcord unit comes with an adhesive rectangle, a non-adhesive rectangle, and a silicone-backed circle. The Akcord plates are easily malleable, come in a matte textured black, and have a moderately large Akcord logo.
I started with the circular WizGear plate. It worked fine, but I thought the shiny black circle looked out of place on the back of my phone. I pried it off with no damage. Next I tried the Akcord silicone-backed circle. It also worked well, but it was significantly thicker than all the other options. My phone is thick enough, so I pried this off as well.
The Akcord silicone plate was harder to pull off than the adhesive WizGear plate I had removed earlier. Neither plate left any residue or damage once removed.
I eventually put the adhesive rectangle from Akcord on my phone because its matte texture looks a lot better on my phone and it was easy to re-shape to fit the curvature of my phone's back. Of course, the logo is there, but it is not offensive.
Overall Verdict - Magnet mounts are a nice way to go, and the magnet has not caused any discernible effect on my phone. I really like both magnetic mounts but the Akcord model has a stronger magnet and plates that suit my purposes better than the WizGear. I tend to like the general attachment method of the WizGear (adhesive ball mount) better than the suction type of the Akcord, although I did not specifically test the stock attachment points of either mount.
My previous phone mount also had a clamp to hold my phone. Taking my phone off and on was always a hassle. I'd have to use one hand to hold my phone, and the other to reach around behind the mount and very carefully but firmly squeeze the back of the clamp to open it. If I didn't squeeze the clamp in just the right way, the sticky suction cup base would become detached and send it (and usually my phone) tumbling down. With this magnetic mount, I can use one hand and barely have to think to put get my phone on and off. The ease of removing my phone does not mean the magnet does not hold it firmly. I haven't once had my iPhone 6 Plus slip around or fall off. Once positioned and tightened, the swivel also holds steady.
Another plus, of course, is its small size. Even when the mount is not holding my phone, it's not an eyesore and doesn't stick out enough to get in the way. In fact, when it's not holding my phone, I forget its even there. Although my car's interior is short on flat surfaces, the mount is small enough that I didn't have much trouble finding a spot to put it. Just make sure the spot you choose is where you want it to stay.
TIP: This mount works especially well with a phone case that is designed to work with magnets. My phone case (which is a Dreem Fibonacci case) has a fully metal back that holds very strongly to magnets. Also, because almost the entire back of the case is metal, I never have to worry about making sure I connect the phone to the mount exactly where I have a metal plate inserted or attached. I think this, along with the lightweight of the case, definitely helps the ease of mounting my phone and making sure it holds.
This was easy to install but I do recommend cleaning off the surface where you want to stick it with some alcohol so that it has a clean spot to adhere to. I've had this on for months and it hasn't budged a bit. I do have to occasionally tighten the ring to keep it at the right angle, but that's no big deal. I just love that this is small and I could put it anywhere I wanted. My mother loved it so much that I ended up ordering one for her as well. I absolutely recommend this over the vent clip and any other holder that sticks to your windshield or somewhere else really noticeable. This is small and inconspicuous. You hardly notice it when I don't have the phone on it.
