Mount is great; charger beware

I’m very happy with how the mount connects to the vent and holds my phone. I am not happy that I purchased the charging version and it doesn’t charge my phone even though I have a Peak Design phone case. It seems to require a cigarette lighter power source and I have USB sockets, but no lighter socket in my vehicle. I re-read everything before purchasing but I did not expect that the cable it comes with would not work without another accessory. I have to plug the charging cable directly in my phone to charge and I paid extra for this mount for no reason.
Bought this for my wife’s car and the mount itself is fine the actual charger in a word, sucks. It is so slow. I left my house at noon, drove a little over 1 hour with Apple Maps running. My battery went up from 54% to 56%. I have a QI2 charger from another company in my truck that would easily top it off to 80% in less than an hour. Disappointed to say the least.
I found that this wireless charger worked well with my pixel 10 XL pro along with the peak design case. I've never used a wireless charger before but it definitely charges my phone and keeps my phone secure.
I have been using this for 1 week now. Unfortunately, it is easily “over stretched” regarding the vent adherence mechanism. This makes it loose and “wobbly”. Otherwise I do feel that it is well built.
I’ve bought loads of different car phone holders and they’ve all failed! This product is the best. It took a little effort to get it to fit correctly as I had the same issue others have had but if you look at your vents one usually has a small cutout for adjustment and that’s the vent the locking arm hooks behind. Perfectly engineered 5 stars. Keep the great products coming please 🙏🏻
