Which part is magnetic, the mount itself or the plate that goes with the phone?

The surface of the round mount. The sheet which goes inside the cell or the inside of the cell case appears to be just a sheet of metal.

The mount has 4 small magnets under the rubber cover, the plate is just plain metal

The magnet is in the mount. Included is an unobtrusive metal plate that grips my Note 2 firmly even in its folio leather case loaded with credit cards and cash.

I took apart the mount, and inside there are 4 silver magnets. That's the magnetic part - the backplate is not itself a magnet.

No, not at all. The magnet is in the flap, which is attached to the front cover, and the flap wraps around to the back cover, where the other magnet is. My phone works perfectly with it.

The mount has 3 parts: the wall plate and two connection parts (the two vertical sections in the picture) that hook to the wall plate.

There is a screw in the center of the plate (see picture) that screw is drilled into the surface you wish to attach the plate to. That plate is NOT the magnet. The larger piece is. I agree with J. Metcalfe, while I inly used this little one for my child science fair project, it is mighty impressive for it's size.

Its the female part of the screw, the mount that comes with it (the base) is the screw (male) side.

A suction cup. Clean both the cub and the mounting surface very well with like 70% rubbing alcohol first. A clean mating surface will allow the holder to stay mounted longer. Mine falls off every now and then. Not ideal when the phone is in it.

It's a hook & loop fastener to your belt on the back. But a magnet on the front to hold the phone in.

Magnet. I really like it. I have an iPhone 5s with a Mophie extended battery and it fits fine.

Yes Phu, because the advice is NOT attaching to the phone, if it would, the metal parts inside the phone would be damaged, I suppose.The magnet from the device attaches to the magnet plate that come with it. The plate itself doesn't attach via magnet to your phone.I have a thin plastic case and I put the plate in between that and my phone.I hope that helps,Cheers :)

I had this question too and purchased this anyway. The included plate does not interfere with the Qi wireless charging, since you don't even need the plate to stick the phone to the magnet. The Qi circuitry plate can do that for you, at least in my case (I use Qi wireless case on my phone). Now the question is, will the magnet shorten the life of the Qi plate? Is it safe to charge (using microUSB port) while the phone is Qi-mounted?

No. Believe it or not it's a lightly textured metal plate. Thought it was just plastic at first, but I tested it and the surface is magnetic!

where can we get more adhesive metal plates. I don't want to buy a new gps mount and would like some extras since I've had a couple phones

You have to have the mount... this is the attachment for the phone. It is a seperate item. I have this on my motorcycle. Never falls off. worth the money!

The magnets in phones are not anything that will help you with this product. You will need to attach the thin metal plate that comes with this mount to your phone so that it will attach to the magnet mount. The metal piece can be put inside a case, or attached by the adhesive already on the metal to the back of the phone. It will work on any phone, but nothing heavier.

The phone just has a magnetic plate on it the actual magnet is on the base mount.

It comes in two parts, you screw the back plate to the wall and then just place the magnetic part over it. Voila! Love mine!
