Expensive, but 100% you get what you pay for. Cheap plastic mounts are expensive because they need replacing so much, and none of them are rock steady and solid as the Peak Design. I used mine for a year in a new vehicle every 2 days, and it performed flawlessly.
I purchased this to replace a competitors magnetic vent mount. The Everyday case that I also purchased keeps the phone mounted even while driving on rutted roads in the desert. This mount also allows more air flow from the vent vs the old system I used.
Hi having had the car mount in my car i found the magnet was very strong and secure you could literally feel the phone pulled onto the mount so i decided to go ahead and purchase the car vent mount for my van. The magnet on this i have to say is very disappointing and feels nothing like my other car mount. If you hit a bumpy rd the phone falls off or if you press the phone to change anything while it is sat on the mount it moves the phone.
Bought together with the everyday case for a new Android phone. Install was easy, and worked with both drivers' side vents (different orientations/angles). With the phone case, it's very convenient to just plop the phone down on the magnet. So far, I haven't had any issues with the magnet strength.
A few caveats, which are more "me" problems/things I should have thought about than problems with the device. I have an older car that does not support wireless Android Auto. As such, I have to choose between keeping the charger plugged in and driving without Android Auto (i.e., use my phone screen rather than car screen), or leaving the phone on the magnetic mount, but change the cord to plug in the phone directly. I don't have enough USB ports to do both at once. It's just a tiny bit of pain to switch back and forth depending on my needs. To me this doesn't reflect badly on the mount at all; I didn't think it through before buying, and probably still would have bought it even if I had. But on the off-chance that this set-up might be more of a problem for someone else, I thought I'd mention it. All in all, it's a great product.
