iTap 3 Air Vent Mount

This iOttie iTap 3 magnetic mount is an excellent upgrade. I previously used the iOttie Easy One Touch 6 cradle-style mount, and I much prefer the magnetic version. The magnetic design is cleaner, less bulky, and makes placing and removing the phone incredibly easy. No squeezing arms or adjusting a cradle every time. I’ve only used this mount attached to my windshield, and it has been extremely solid and secure. The magnet is strong and holds the phone firmly, even on rough roads. Installation was easy, and once it’s in place, it just works. If you’re deciding between a cradle-style mount and a magnetic one, this is absolutely the better option. I wouldn’t go back to the old style.

I love this little guy. I’ve had countless mounts, including several magnetic ones and this is easily the best for my Subaru. It locks onto the vent tightly, and holds my phone perfectly. For reference I use an iPhone with MagSafe and couldn’t be happier.

I’ve been using this magnetic phone mount for a few days, and it has exceeded my expectations! One of the biggest selling points is its universal compatibility.Even though my phone doesn't support MagSafe, I was able use it due to ring adapter. The magnetic ring adapter was easy to attach. Only downside is that I had to remove my phone case. The magnetic hold is incredibly strong. I was worried it might not hold up on bumpy roads, but my phone did not move! It was very easy to Install. The adhesive on the base sticks securely to my dashboard, and I love that the base can be rotated 360 degrees for more flexibility in positioning. Once I installed it, it hasn’t budged. Overall, this mount is a winner for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile magnetic phone mount. Highly recommended!

Let me first say that I have bought car mounts of different types in the past, but this is the only one that really worked for me. Quite honestly, I love this thing. My car is old enough that I still have a CD player and as a bonus, I have an additional "navigation" CD slot that's separate from my CD player that is for my outdated navigation CDs to use with the car's outdated navigation system. Since the navigation CD slot is not in use and it's perfectly located high up on the dash, this was a good decision just from a "where to locate the smartphone car mount" perspective. I chose to put the metal plate on the outside of my ballistic jacket case. They aren't manufactured anymore, but they were way better than the otterbox (only comparing this to give people an idea of the metal plate placement for this car mount) and perhaps that's why putting the plate on the inside of the phone's case or on the outside of the phone's case (not the ballistic jacket case itself) just didn't create a strong connection to the magnet. Putting the magnetic plate on the outside of the ballistic case has caused absolutely no problems with my handling of my phone during normal use when the phone is off of the car mount. It is a thin metal plate that does not add to the form factor thickness of the case. People who are having trouble getting a strong magnetic connection may consider doing this. One thing of note, I put this on during the hot summer months. About 3 weeks later, the glue failed and the phone dropped off the mount with the metal plate being attached to the magnet on the car mount, instead of remaining glued to the case. Since I was satisfied with the overall function of the magnetic connection to the mount, I simply put superglue on the the metal plate and it has been perfect ever since. I did have the experience to position the magnetic mount such that the phone was perfectly vertical. When you hit those bad potholes (I do try to avoid them for the sake of my car's suspension, but sometimes you simply can't avoid them or they sneak up on you), the phone would dislodge from the mount due to the jolt. The solution is simple and that's to angle the magnetic mount such that the phone is on a little bit of the slant so that the vertical force of the vehicle's jolt on the mount has some horizontal opposing force upwards against the vertical downward jolt. Works perfectly. My phone has incurred absolutely no negative effects as a result of it's proximity to the magnet mount point. For those who are saying the magnet isn't strong enough, I would suggest purchasing a stronger magnet and placing it on the already magnetized mount. Problem solved. I didn't have to do this, but instead of throwing your money away on a perfectly good car mount, simply drop a few cents to remedy your magnetic connection if moving the metal plate to the outside of the case still doesn't work for you (after all, some phones or some phones + their case can be pretty heavy and you may need a little more of a boost, although my Samsung S5 phone with it's ballistc case and a bit of a tilt of the mount is all I needed to establish a sufficiently strong magnetic connection). I'm glad I took the chance on buying one more car mount. This time, it was definitely worth it!

The iOttie iTap 2 Magnetic CD Slot Car Mount Holder is a good concept but doesn't work well in practice (at least not for a large, heavy phone such as a Samsung Note 8). The device installs simply and easily in the CD slot, so no issues with that. I installed the on-phone attachment plate exactly per iOttie's instructions, needing to place it nearer the bottom of the back of the phone to allow wireless charging to remain useable. I have a very thin silicone case on the phone, and I chose the installation where the magnetic plate goes directly on the phone between the case and the back of the phone. All good so far, but things went bad quickly from there. The magnetic hold between the phone and the holder seemed strong enough when I placed the phone on the device, but at the first minor turn in the road, the phone twisted off axis and seemed like it might fall off the device. You can forget completely about placing the phone in landscape orientation as with the off-center plate position needed to preserve the wireless charging function of the phone, it doesn't stay in place for even a second, immediately twisting out of position (almost to upside down vertical) from the pull of gravity. Finally, one could only imagine the horror story if the phone were to become a free-flying projectile in the cabin of the car if you hit a large bump in the road or get into even a minor fender-bender, let alone a major accident. A modern smartphone is a heavy object and could do real and serious damage to someone in the car if it got to flying around, which seems a real possibility since nothing holds it on the device but the magnets, which my experience indicates is a tenuous force that holds the phone in place. Long-story short, using the CD slot for a phone holder is the best place for a phone in my car, so I returned the magnetic device and purchased the iOttie Easy One Touch 4 CD Slot Mount phone holder instead, which is the same holder, but uses mechanical, spring-loaded arms to hold the phone in place. Works perfectly and I couldn't be happier, but I suggest staying clear of the magnetic holder. It's a good concept that just doesn't function well in practice! and seems fraught with possible danger in the case where it could get loose and fly around the cabin of the vehicle!

ottimo consigliato!!

Magnet is very strong and holds the phone in an optimal position. Sometimes, the phone changes it’s angle due to the magnets not fully lining up, but a simple readjustment of the phone fixes that.

Fits well into the cd slot in Audi b8.5. I've been using it for 2 weeks, seems to be stable on paved roads also. Magnet is strong, I'm using it with iphone 13 mini and the small plate under a case. So far it is doing perfect.

Excellent

The product is very well built, nice look and provide good stability to I Phone 14, highly recommended.
