Easy Install
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: Cagolfer
from San Francisco, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this mount about 2 weeks ago and definitely have mixed reviews. There are 2 negatives in my opinion with the major one being in order to use the Magsafe functionality I have to take my phone case off as otherwise it won't hold the phone. Possibly my case is thicker than the normal one but I can't get it to attach at all with the case on. The other issue is there is no way to tighten the mount so the angle it holds the phone stays constant. On the positive side once the case is off it holds the phone very securely and it is a very easy mount to install with just about any orientation option you want.

Works great on our Audi Q5
on December 15, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe does exactly what it's supposed to do. It holds your MagSafe-enabled phone securely to a vent in your car. It works great on our Audi Q5.
A warning: it didn't work on our Jeep Wrangler (JKU). The porthole-style air vent design on the Jeep just folded down or twisted to the side (depending on mount orientation). I am thinking, however, of modifying it to work with an existing mount that I have in the Jeep so I can benefit from the MagSafe feature.
A bonus feature: it also works great as a phone stand on your desk, propping up your phone perfectly. It's so compact that you can even pick up your phone and take a call without detaching it. I'm thinking about buying a second unit just to have on my desk.

THE car vent mount for MagSafe
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: rboggs1
from Columbus Ohio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car vent mount about 10 days ago and have been using it continuously with no issues. I have driven on all types of roads without any shifting of the phone or loosening of the grips that attach to the vent. I have alternated between portrait and landscape views without issues and can alternate the view on the fly without any issues. Apple's MagSafe technology holds the device rock stable with a MagSafe cover in place. I am a long-time magnet in my case user at home and my car and this device is the absolute best. It is easy on the eyes when not in use. Actually looks like it could have been made by Apple. Can't wait until a charging version is available but my charging cable attaches easily and can be wrapped across the back of the device when not in use. Makes it readily accessible with no searching for the end of the cable. Highly recommended! The only faults I can see are the faults all vent mounts have, it blocks airflow and gripping strength in hot weather. Not much of an issue in winter but summer maybe. Let's see but I have a feeling it will work out okay.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this now for a few weeks. This works very well with the MagSafe cases.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid Attachment, but Not Perfect for All Vehicles
on December 18, 2020
Posted by: mjfuller
from Chicago Area
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first started using the Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe, I had my doubts as to whether it could sturdily hold my iPhone 12 Pro Max in Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max Clear Case with MagSafe. The total weight of the combined devices is well over half pound (over 10 ounces). I was concerned about the grip strength of the magnet and the Vent Mount PRO’s rubber mount.
After using the Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe, I can attest that both the magnet attachment and the physical rubber grips connecting to the vent work flawlessly. Even when driving over bumpy roads and train tracks, my iPhone 12 Pro Max never fell off.
However, I did experience two design-related issues.
First, because this second implementation of Apple’s “MagSafe” is not the same as Apple's first charging-only version of MagSafe, I was surprised to learn that the Car Vent Mount PRO only holds the iPhone 12, but does not charge it. (NOTE: Apple’s first MagSafe products were for power/charging with no other features.) Belkin is clear that this product only serves as a mount and does not misrepresent the Car Vent Mount PRO’s charging abilities. I find it confusing that Apple's original MagSafe was a charging product, and new MagSafe is only sometimes a charging solution.
Belkin’s Car Vent Mount PRO does include a cord management solution to allow a Lightning cable to wrap around and plug in to the iPhone 12 to charge while being held by the magnet. I did not use the cord management feature since I quickly realized that I wanted to occasionally grab the phone off the Car Vent Mount PRO without first unplugging it.
Second, I was sorry to realize that my SUV has no good place to attach the Car Vent Mount PRO. Obviously, this is absolutely out of Belkin’s control. The steep design of my center console with the vents set far back over important controls makes may iPhone 12 Pro Max get in the way. I tried my iPhone 12 Pro Max in the sideways orientation, but that made no sense because my vehicle already has CarPlay so another horizontal display added no value.
Overall, the product performed well for what it does, but unfortunately, it is not a perfect solution for every vehicle. If I did not already have CarPlay, and if my dashboard was designed differently, my review would have been slightly more favorable.

Very well constructed

from North Myrtle Beach, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This does exactly what is intended and is very well made. The pan/tilt adjustment offers good range, magnet is plenty strong enough for rough road travel. The only downside of any vent mount is that it blocks/redirects air flow…but hey, what did you expect!

Looks and works great

from Lexington KY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the sleek look. I am not going to lie. I was a little worried at first that my phone would fall off. This thing is solid. My phone never even budged. It even has a cable holder on it. If you have an iPhone 12 this is a must have.
