Suction and Adhesion

Pros:

  • "The suction model has good suction and has never broken loose even while driving on pothole covered roads."
  • "It's been in my car for at least a year now, without ever falling off or losing it's powerful suction."
  • "This mount attached to my Jeep Grand Cherokee dash textured surface and has held up for several weeks, no issues at all, well made."
  • "The adhesion has held up very well and the magnet is strong enough that there is no danger of the phone falling off unintentionally."
  • "Sticks TIGHT through all kinds of temperature extremes."
  • "I have not had any issue with the adhesion of the suction cup to the dash board."
  • "The suction cup is very well made and holds up strong in the bumpy and rough ride on equipment."

Cons:

  • "The silicone suction cup got mushy and gummy from the sun."
  • "The strength of sticker for mounting on dash is not even close to being strong enough and barely stays in place without the phone."
  • "The connection between the suction cup and the 'neck' disintegrated from what I believe was heat exposure."
  • "So, I didn't have a lot of luck with attaching this to my dash or even the windshield; over time, the suction wears off."
  • "But, after that the suction/adhesion didn't hold up due to the exposure to sun and weight of my phone (Galaxy S10 Plus)."
  • "The suction is pretty good but would fall off every few months."
  • "Unfortunately, it does not always stay stuck to the dash during extremely hot weather."

Magnet Strength

Pros:

  • "Very easy to use. Just stuck it up to the magnet and let go."
  • "Strong magnet, great quality, and sticks on dash like no other."
  • "The magnet is really strong."
  • "This mount holds it VERY well."
  • "Great suction! And the magnet is very strong."
  • "The magnet is plenty strong to hold your phone securely."
  • "Magnet holds my Galaxy S24 Ultra to the windshield without a single issue."

Cons:

  • "Quality product, but the magnet isn't strong enough to hold my iPhone 13 in a basic 'normal' case."
  • "The magnet attached to my phone came off and I lost it who knows where."
  • "This one seems to have a much weaker magnet."
  • "The magnet was not strong enough to hold my iPhone 13 *Mini*."
  • "Very poor strength magnet on this mount."
  • "The magnet loses almost all efficiency if you place it behind even a thin case."
  • "The magnetic would not hold the phone in place but for a couple of minutes."

Product Quality and Design

Pros:

  • "Came to Amazon and found the same and purchased the set for a great price."
  • "This flat mount is perfect."
  • "It's a well made product but still inexpensive."
  • "100% high quality."
  • "This one is sturdy."
  • "Well thought out and good design."
  • "This fits the bill. Good construction."

Cons:

  • "Just terrible management of expectations and outright lying on the product description."
  • "The only thing I don't like is the plastic lets the device sag a bit."
  • "After 2 months of manipulating the rigid plastic it finally snapped right off the adapter."
  • "The magnetic part is great, but the 'adhesive' parts (for both the magic plate and the dash mount) are not even remotely sticky."
  • "This one was broken within 2 months of receiving it."
  • "The whole device broke off last night as I was driving."
  • "Whatever material the suction cup part is made of -- flat out melted on my windshield leaving a gooey mess and rendering the mount useless."

Installation and Use

Pros:

  • "EXACTLY what I was looking for to put on my windshield in my car it’s easy to access for when I’m driving and holds my phone great."
  • "Now I can go into any of my cars and be able to mount onto each."
  • "This was easy to install, both in the vehicle and on our devices."
  • "I love that I can just set it and grab it off in a matter of nano seconds."
  • "Built very nice, can be moved around to view easily and securely."
  • "It's completely worth it to just plop the phone against the mount and that's that -- no finicky clamp mechanisms or temperamental suction mounts."
  • "I perfect the magnet device because it's easy to mount/unmount."

Cons:

  • "Also if you need to adjust the angle you will need to remove the mount to make the adjustment and place it back onto the supplied mount for the dash."
  • "I have never had one of these mounts successfully adhere to a dash."
  • "USB ports are in a weird spot."
  • "It foes not fit larger cupholders, requiring additional paper wrapping/rubber bracing of one sort or the other for those larger cupholders to keep it stable."
  • "It stayed attached to my dash for about 3 days and fell off."
  • "The positioning of the device does not allow for adequate viewing while driving - either aspect - viewing the phone nor/or viewing the street."
  • "It works pretty good, but it sucks that you can't move the phone angle at all."
