That was great and to the point. Was considering this for employee Christmas gifts... You betcha!
Putting it on the phone case instead of the phone... wish I saw this video a couple months ago...
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip Jeff. Love Spigen products, especially their apple watch stand.
Is it easy to take the metal strip off of the case? In case I want to use wireless charging in the future when better pads come out.
Since it Ac vent mount will the cool moisture from ac vent does it create problem for the internal parts inside wireless pad and the iPhone becuase of those ac vent cooling moisture?
Does it mess up the wireless charging on my LG V30?
Does this work in Duster with round ac vent as fixing on vent is of different type
I have the old model before this buff looking one. If you use the Apple Smart Battery Case the phone is heavier so it's best to use the rectangle magnet the problem is with the weight it wears the piece easily but this newer one might be different
Never expected to see my hometown on a 9to5Mac video (1:50s)
Does is move left and right?
Just got one of these. It's boss!! Going over bumpy roads and pot holes, doesn't even budge the magnetic connection. I 😍 how easy it is to just grab my iPhone and go when getting out the car...
Is the magnet would be strong enough to hold the phone through the case?
After watching this video, I purchased this item. VERY happy with it. The magnet is strong and my phone has not moved whatsoever while driving. Highly recommended.
Does the Magnet interfere with the GPS, Because it uses the earths magnetic field for direction - Right?
does this mess up wireless charging?
Nice and clear explanation
Is that a prius I saw there?
Wireless charging won’t work with the metal attachment on your iPhone 8 also the vent thing won’t hold on a vent it will eventually fall
Does it affect your phone's magnetic sensor
I’ve been using a magnetic case like this on my iphone 6s plus for about a full whole year when I started to realize it fucked up my compass. My phone can’t even rotate automatically i need to rotate it manually using assistive touch every single time for movie/games purpose. So yeah I won’t repeat the same mistake on my iPhone 11.
Didn't see anybody mention this yet...but can the mount be ROTATED to align the edges and text? Having the Spigen logo off kilter like that would drive me bonkers!
It could be good but all depending on where vents are. Some cars have vents in awkward places
Lol yea
Not working with most of the actual Mercedes Benz models because it is hard to attach due to the structure of the ventilation slot.
Has anyone tried using this mount with a mous 3.0 case??
Does the magnets ruin any of the inner workings of the phone? I don’t know about putting a magnet on my $700 phone../
Phone will sit straight upright on the magnet, if you get sun reflection you won't be able to tilt it away.
What about it blocking the Heat and AC? Will the heat mess up my phone?
yes it blocks heat and cool vent.
They all work good.. unless you live in New England where the road aren't smooth, then you have to be ready to catch the phone from falling .
RTP try Caseco 360, it almost Ferrell's like I'm pulling the dash when I'm trying to take my phone of of it.
I also live up here, and what I don't like about them is winter in general. My car has vents, but it doesn't have a secondary switch to control which vents are on/off. So during the winter, if I have the heat blowing, and the vent is open, then its blasting heat, which is NOT ideal for a phone, especially if you are also using it as a gps.
agreed, that is the other issue. Wish car manufactures would come up with built in phone holder into the dash, won't look any worse that the after thought tablet sticking out of the dash as many have gone too in the last few years.
true story
You obviously never been to Indonesia...
The huge size of the 7 Plus block the visibility and all car features..
Keeping it on the air vent make the phone go super cold with the AC on. Recently I have seen battery degradation on my iPhone, don't know if that caused it! 🤔
Hey Jeff, what if you want to take it out, does it leave residue? Can you maybe just use it without taking the paper off? Just place it in there.
Stick it to the case (as shown), not the phone -> no residue on the phone. Without the sticker, the metal might scratch the phone.
That's not what I asked, I mean can this be used without taping it to the case (or phone), and still use transparent plastic so it doesn't scratch it. That way I can reuse it.
Federico Goldsztein it may leave residue depending on what kind of glue it use. To clean the residue is pretty easy by using WD-40, residue will melted and very easy to rip off by paper towel or tissues.
FYI WD-40 contains just a little bit toxic component, so wearing a pair of rubber gloves will be safer.
Does it work for other phones too? Like a Samsung M52?
Nope just iphone
Would that damage the wireless charging of the iPhone 8 and X?
yes, it will.
Thanks
Go with scoshe mount
Forgot to mention that the vents cool your iPhone with the A/C on! With regular suction cup phone holders, your phone just bakes in the sun while the battery is also charging
True
You neglected to say a word about its capability to securely hold when actually driving. Is the magnet strong enough to securely hold your phone during real time driving conditions? Potholes, RR tracks, etc.
From my experience, yes. Granted, I rarely encounter any major potholes where I drive. That magnet is relatively strong. Keep in mind that I only tested it for a couple of days, and this isn't an in-depth review.
9to5Mac You're lucky! I live in western PA, highways and secondary roads here are in terrible shape. I can't see that magnet being strong enough (especially if it's placed on the inside of a case) to securely hold a phone under certain rough road conditions.
@@tcconner7388 hell yeah for western pa! I use a sticky/washable reusable suction mount to the flat top dashboard. I don't trust these magnet mounts yet. I just take it off when not in use and no marks left on the dashboard in over as year so far
For my last phone I actually used a dremel to grind the plastic case down very thin where the metal plate attached. Wrecked the inside of the case (!) but the magnet was strong enough to hold fast.
Will the magnet effect wireless charging
Yes
This’s jaff with internet blog 👨🏽🦱
Does it still allow wireless charging? If used in anything other than an iPhone... obviously.
gospizana: The magnets impair wireless charging.
CT I understand the magnet on the dock does, but the piece that goes on the phone is not a magnet, it's just metal. What I want to know is will I need to take that piece off every time I want to wirelessly charge my phone.
gospizana: Spigen's website has this disclaimer: Metal plates will hinder wireless charging capabilities.
+CT the magnets are not on the phone, so they do not impair charging. The metal plate will impair it however. So this might not be the right solution for the proposed wireless charging of iPhone 8.
ThunderbyteNet or any other Android device for that matter.
Straight forward ordeal?
I guess
Kuel Signature? That name tho.
Does the metal plate make the case bulgy?
You can definitely feel it as you rub your hand over the back. But I wouldn't call it bulgy.
not really, it's really thin unless you're using one of those thin gummy style cases
The plate which comes along is one of the thinnest piece of metal I have ever seen.
What if u have a battery case ?
not specifically this brand but if you're really interested and have the money, Mophie has a battery case with their so called "Force Hold" and a similar car mount like this that also charges the case/phone at the same time.
edit: they call it charge force, my fault, it's a wireless charging case and the vent mount is the charging pad.
attach it to the outside of the battery case
+Vinny L. A similar solution even works with my very thin 0.3mm case.
NissanPacific attach me ousside

Have to believe these magnets affect the internal compass on the phone. Has anyone ever done actual measurements with the magnets ON and OFF to show they have no effect?
Compass in the phone 🤣🤣🤣🤣I just hope you're being sarcastic
@@rohansomanna6239 Hi Rohan, No, not being sarcastic. The iPhone has a compass (and a compass app). It uses that compass to help navigation. On the Apple Support Website it specifically states that users should be careful to avoid placing their phones near sources of magnetic interference as that can impair the functioning of the compass. I previously commented to you and included the link to this article but that caused the comment to be rejected. So I've rewritten the comment here without the link. I hope this clears up any confusion.
@@MrLuigi-oi7gm My bad man, you're right
@@rohansomanna6239 Hi Rohan, You're a good man for replying. 👍
In my experience, the big rectangular plate definitely affects navigation, the smaller circular plate, not so much. No actual measurements done by me of course, but speaking out of experience - I use google maps.
Does it fall easily? That should been in the video
It has been secure for me while testing it the last few days. No falling off. Keep in mind that this isn't a review BTW.
Khalid M.D.: It's very secure. I've never had mine shift at all because of how strong the magnets are. If I were you, I'd get the Kuel H12 instead though.
no
I'm using it in India which has one of the worst roads on the planet and trust me I haven't faced a problem that the phone has fallen off when the car goes through even the deepest of potholes.
"Just like that!"
Is the magnet interfering with the NFC chip and Apple Pay in any way?
no
But the compass.... That's another story.
Are you using ios 11 on your daily driver?
Yes, I know I shouldn't be, but I can't resist.
9to5Mac hows the performance n battery life?
Not good enough for a daily driver imo. Maybe wait till beta 3 or 4.
9to5Mac battery life really bad
How thick are these magnetic plates?
thick enough to choke anyone out.
@@PD-dl3rr nice

Honestly, nothing beats Caseco mounts.
Now, I have to look up this, Caseco mounts - Thanks - I think
Unfortunately, after using the metal plate you cant charge the phone wirelessly!
isn't a car vent a stupid place to put your phone? i mean it's ok when cold air comes out, but in the winter? heat is death for a battery
I put a sock behind my vent where the phone is
why would you have heat coming out those vents during the winter? If you have the defroster on, the heat goes to the windshield and not out forward facing vents
you can turn the vent off and you wouldnt get cold or hot air coming out
You are right, it's pretty stupid if you are stupid in first place and don't know how to close the vent.
Even with the vent "closed," heat gets through. It's not a hermetic seal by any stretch. You need to shunt all the heat away by using the floor vents only. If your working your phone's processor hard, such as when using it as a navigator, and also have a warm area behind the phone...Not good.
The only bad thing about this video is the iPhone
I thinks Iphone going to get bad, after long period of time put iphone on air vent mount. imagine the winter the car turn on the heats and heats make iphone get hot. I think iphone will going bad .
Its fucks up the phone after awhile
How? Explain..
Big or small, thin or thick, Magnets are not friends of your smart phones, Period. For time being, they may be convinient, but in long run, No.
If you don't want to ruin your 1000$ phone over a 0.01$ magnet, stay away.
I've been using an Aukey magnetic car mount for four years now. No problems on my OnePlus 3. It's not an issue. Don't fear monger over things you don't understand.
@@Lucky8s do you actually have an idea on gyroscope sensors, electromagnetic fields and rest of sensors and electronics in smartphones and how do they all work? I suspect that since you seem pretty happy sticking up your smartphone on magnet but that doesn’t mean that anyone else has to do the same.
Try researching sometimes before you turn into a keyboard warrior 😃 👍🏼

Oh no, it seems I've offended a snowflake on the internet 🤣. Oh well, I can't control your feelings for you.
Here's my advice. Educate yourself and research topics before you make false claims about them. Weak magnets like phone mounts won't damage your device. Some of the more expensive phones have magnetic shielding to protect against strong magnets. Apple's iPhone 12 MagSafe is a perfect example.
If you're going to get offended over a little criticism, you should get off the internet Ahsan. This isn't a place for the weak.
That filming inside of that car part was making me nauseous. Camera is shaking too much
