abunda_amazon_reviews This is the best, most stable car mount I've found; better than the kind with gripping brackets, or having to stick something to your dashboard, or the other vent mounts that kept falling out. The stiff foam prongs that insert into the vent won't bend or break the air vanes, will fit any model, and create a firm, secure mount for the magnet. It's so easy just to put the phone on the magnet. It stays put and is easily readable (especially good for Google maps when you're driving.) Unfortunately, installation of the plate on your phone can interfere with wireless charging, but there's an easy workaround (next paragraph.) The manufacturer should include this information in the instructions — I still would have bought this product, I just would have been forewarned. Basically the only instructions were limited to just the basics of "Stick plate to phone; slide magnet into vent; stick phone to magnet." I ended up buying two new wireless chargers before realizing it was the plate in my phone that was blocking them. I have a newer Motorola Droid, and it completely blocked the wireless charging stand. There is, however, a workaround. I didn't want to stick the metal plate directly onto my phone, so instead, I stuck it to the inside of the case (see picture.) So, if I remove the case before putting it on the charging stand, it charges normally (duh.) That's the workaround. A bit of an extra hassle (especially since I have a wireless charger at work too), but I think it is worth it for the convenience and stability of this mount in the car. Again, however, this should be covered in the instruction materials.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Prevents Wireless Charging, but there's a workaround; It's worth it.;;JustAThought;;;We have purchased 2 of these now, one for each car. I originally bought the first one because I was starting as an Uber/Lyft driver and needed an easy way to show my navigation. It was so helpful that when I would drive the other vehicle, I felt lost without it (sometimes literally). The rectangle magnet fit easily in my phone case and stays in place 99% of the time. The only time the magnet has needed to be adjusted is when my 13 month throws my phone on the floor and it jars the magnet. The airvent mount fits on both of my airvents - one of which is a horizontal design and the other is a vertical design. If I were to make one change, I would make the airvent mount a little more secure - it doesn't fall out (even when my wife slams the brakes) but it could be a little tighter on the vent. Once you put the magnet up to the mount, it is solid. It does not slide, fall, or twist. Having them on the airvent keeps it right in my view without being too distracting. If I had a third car, I would buy another one. I will also be giving these as gifts to people because they work like they cost way more than $7.;;Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Keeps me navigating and safe;;Candj;;;This is a good car vent holder, simple small and light. Top Tip: Before you buy, hold your phone up to your air vent to make sure it's at a location and angle you're happy with. You can't put this anywhere else - seems obvious but something I didn't even think about before buying. You'll be using one of the included magnetic strips to attach to your phone, which will then stick to this device to hold your phone in place. I'm using an iPhone SE (form factor of an iPhone 5) and it's strong enough to hold mine in place. Make sure your phone isn't too big to fit where you want it. I've had one of these before and it was good for a few months before it broke. It's cheap enough to where I actually don't mind buying one every few months, however. That may have been a fluke though, and if this one breaks as well I'll update the review.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Good simple device, but check this first...;;C. Burdick;;;I own a 2014 Ford Edge, and as all the other owners of this vehicle model I had the very same trouble, no place to put your phone when driving. Some people buy stands that go in the cup trays but I found that too bulky and in my way. I like to keep things simple. This was the best option I found and I'm happy with it. When not needed it doesn't disturb, when using it it keeps my phone more at sight height and as it's on the vent it keeps my phone cool when using the GPS with screen on at all times. Magnet is really strong and keeps my phone secured even when going through heavy bumps. The only cons I can say about it is that you can say you lose a vent with it, mine barely moves with this attached to it, and when the phone is on it there's almost no air through that vent at least for the driver and depending on your phone's size. At first when removing my phone the base was coming along with it but it was a matter of physics, you can't pull the phone directly towards as the magnet will keep attached, instead you have to grab your phone from the top or side and pull it like if you were peeling an sticker off (diagonal way).;;Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2016;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great, recommended!;;Edser Solís;;;Bought this for a long weekend drive where I knew I had to use the phone GPS function and did not want to have it on my lap. I was skeptical about putting the phone on the air vent but as it turns out using the GPS for hours on end does make the phone heat up and having it on the AC vent helped keep the phone cool which also helps prolong battery life. It comes with 2 thin metal plates that can be stuck (one side has sticky tape) or placed between the phone and the phone case. The magnet is strong enough to not have the phone slip off or twist around while driving. It's a very convenient and safe way to be "hands free" in the car. I'll be buying a couple more to give as gifts to my family.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Best Phone Gadget I've Purchased in Years.

The phone fell off of the holder and under my feet as I was pulling out of my driveway. This could be a potential hazard depending on the situation during which the phone falls. Could potentially be strong enough with a thinner case, but I don’t want to risk changing cases and breaking my phone.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Magnet is not strong enough - potential for driving hazard;;The Well-Read Child
