Great approach on Magnetic Base Car Mount
343592
Pros:
-Simple to use, just apply to metal plate at the back of your phone, and clip the magnetic mount on to the vent and that's it.
-Magnet is powerful enough even thru the protective case as long as the case is not too thick

Cons:
-The magnetic base mount is only a vent clip, you can't apply much angle adjustment. Would like to see other base design perhaps in version 2.

All in all great design + easy application = successful product.

Strong magnet and decent support. I have not had my phone fall off of this mount yet and it provides a nice solution for keeping my phone in sight / accessible. I also have magnetic mounts that you clip onto your vents, but I perfer this because sometimes when pulling my phone off the mount, the mounts would slide out of the vent. That doesn't happen with this mount. Though it hasn't happened yet, I'm weary of the plastic support eventually snapping in the CD tray due to normal car vibrations over time. Until then, I'm a satisfied customer.

As others have said, this is the perfect way to mount any device to your cars dashboard. You can position the mount so that the device is just over or under the CD slot and that ensures that most users will be able to find a way to mount their devices without obstructing any key controls or display.

The mount is sturdy and well made and looks like it will last (although Ive only used it for a couple of days so far). The magnet has a good grip and hangs on to my phone tightly even through the slim case on my phone that separates the metal tab from it. Installing it could not be simpler, but I would have appreciated it if theyd thrown in some instructions in the box. Just search for it on YouTube if you're confused (as I was initially).

Ive tried several kinds of car mounts for my phone and this is by far the best one Ive ever used. Its the cleanest, most effortless solution, and works flawlessly. I love this product!

Mazda MX-5 Miatas have curved dashboards, limited dash panel space, and tiny, loose "eyeball" vents that make most cell phone mounts impractical.  The Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount is the perfect solution to this problem.  It supports my phone at a near-ideal driver-facing angle (I could use another 10 degrees of swivel, but it's very good as is).  It holds the phone ~3" away from the CD player, so all buttons (head unit controls, hazard lights, top up/down) remain visible and accessible.

I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 which has, until now, been left sliding around in the passenger seat.  I can't wait for a 7" tablet version of this mount to turn my old Nook Color into a car computer.

Great product overall - the magnet works wonderfully, is strong and the idea of how this works really has made it easier to use my navigation. My only suggestion for future versions of the product would be to have a way to either remove or tilt down one of the two mounts when it's not in use. This product does block the display in my car (clock, radio) when in use. Not a biggie, just a suggestion for the future. I'd definitely recommend this.

Best in car phone mount option available.
Firstly this magnet/plate solution, regardless of provider is the way to go for holding your cell. It's easy to mount/unmount, allows variable view angles since it's attached to vents and they usually swivel. Plus it keeps phone in a clearly visible location in the car. Especially useful when using the GPS on your phone.

I have had 3 of these type of mounts and the magnet on this model is by far the strongest. That's the key for me.  A friend tells me his magnet is so strong that it actually pulls the attachment off the dash. I can see that as it's only a pinch/friction holding it on.  I haven't had that issue though.
It even holds the cell mounted when driving over hard bumps... Which was an issue with some of the brand's I had with weaker magnets.

PS....I didn't need to glue or attach the metal plate to my phone...I simply slipped it into the back between the phone and the case. Worked for me!

These are the most simple car mounts for a phone that I've encountered and far exceeded my expectations. I've had horrible plastic ones in the past that are difficult to use and break easily. The magnets are great and I never have issues snapping my phone into place. The magnet is in the mount and then a separate, ultra-thin magnet affixes to the back of your phone. The magnet on your phone works through most phone cases I've used, which is a nice thing to have.

Would highly recommend.

The TechMatte MagGrip Metal Plate Replacement Kit consists of 2 rectangular and 2 round metal plates to be used with the TechMatte MagGrip CD Slot Magnetic Universal Car Mount Holder or other similar devices.  Granted, you could make a usable plate out of the lid of a can of corn like I did temporarily, when my Holder showed up without any plates.  The rectangular plates are pretty slick, look nice and clean, and fit neatly and unobtrusively between your cell phone and a protective case.  If you use a case, optionally, you can use the round plates which have an adhesive that will stick to the back of your phone.  Either way, the convenience of being able to place your phone magnetically in a convenient location to use as a GPS, speakerphone, or to play music, makes this system tough to beat.  Highly recommended!

Wife loves it for her I-Phone 5.  Its nice that it has a metal plate that can be bent to conform with nearly any dash shape.  This is a great alternative to the suction cup base types if you don't have a large enough smooth place you want to mount it to.  This one uses a small plate with automotive adhesive that sticks great where you want it.  Magnet is strong and cam even support my Note 3 although it could slide off if going down a rough road.  Overall great product and I recommend it if you do not have a spot to mount the suction cup base types.

This is an awesome way to mount your phone in your car. One word of advice... put the magnet plates against your phone, not against the outside of the case where they come into direct contact with the round magnetic surface of the mount. It is just a little too strong that way, and you will tend to pull the mount off the dashboard.

This HHIP 4401-0811 Mini Universal Magnetic Base a great value considering the functionality it provides that is almost equal to those much more expansive NOGA style magnetic bases.  The arm is quite fluid and easy to adjust the positions, even though the nob needs to be tightened firmly.  The magnet is very strong.

I recommend it!

The magnet on this is likely to pull satellites from their orbit, so it will certainly hold a mobile device with great stability. At the same time, I found the portion that fits into my CD player a bit challenging. In order to get it to hold the phone solidly, I needed to crank it down extra tight and that partially distends the frame on my CD player face. Also, because of my stereo placement, it's hard to use the manual transmission without hitting my phone when mounted on this device. It's just not a good match for my car, but I'm sure it will work better in other car layouts

Ultimately, I discarded this device and ended up using a Nite Ize Steelie car mount kit. The only small downside of that solution is a penny-sized, 3mm tall, metal piece adhering to the back of your phone. On the car side, a small magnetic "knob" adheres wherever you put it on the car dash and the phone clings to it magnetically. It holds quite well and allows a lot more flexibility for placement than the Mountek nGroove.

I bought one of these for my wife's Honda Fit. The dash in her car is really angular and textured. The only place where I was able to get a Tackform suction mount was near the bottom near the gear shift.

But using these I was able to place the small adhesive magnetic mount virtually anywhere. Plus using a magnet was so much easier than placing it within within the clamps.

After using this for a day I immediately ordered more to put in all my vehicles.

If you are on the fence, buy this product. It is definitely a winner.

The MoKo vent universal magnetic car mount puts your phone in the perfect spot to view without having to take your eyes off the road for very long. This lets you easily see the notifications come in with a quick glance and you can get back to driving.

I was worried about vent mounted phone holders, and how strong the magnetism would be, but this mount grips the vent securely, and it has the strongest magnetism of any magnetic car mount I've ever tested. I took it apart, and there are 4 extremely powerful button sized magnets inside that provide the grip. Do not be worried about this losing its grip on your phone, or the phone falling to the floor board of your car or truck while you're driving.

Because it's magnetic, you can easily choose the orientation you want your phone to be in (portrait or landscape) without having to adjust a mount in any way. I've had a CD slot mounted holder in my truck for a while, but in the summer time my phone complains about getting too hot when the sun is out and beating down on it. This is a great alternative, although it does block some of the AC from blowing on you, the vent helps to keep your phone nice and cool when in use so it doesn't overheat.

It may not work in all vehicles; it works better in my wife's Highlander than it does in my Tacoma, but that's very dependent on the design of the vents. Take this into consideration before you purchase.

All-in-all, a great purchase.

I really like this car mount. Set up was an ease. I have a iPhone 6 with a thin cover. This fit right into the back cover with ease.

The magnet is easy to install in the car (insert onto a vane of the vent). It comes with small metal disks that you can attach to your phone. i didn't want to adhere the disk on my phone, so I inserted it between my case and the phone. The magnet is powerful enough to keep the phone steady (at any angle) even with the case on.

My one frustration has to do with the design of my car, not the product. The vents are obstructed by the steering wheel so I cannot easily see the phone when it's on the mount.
