Bought this 2 months ago for my husband along with the everyday case so its compatible. A car vent mount never looked so stylish. Excellent. And the grip is just right for us.
I drive a lot for work and needed a better solution to mount my phone in my car. I love how easy the vent mount was to install and that I'm able to angle it so that it doesn't block the air vents. In the summer, the southern heat is crazy and I don't have to worry about my phone overheating in the winter. I bought the one that charges my phone which is great because I use my maps app all the time along with spotify and some other apps running on my phone. This is great and you have a so many ways you and angle your phone that fits your needs best without blocking your view while driving. Would definitely recommend!
I was hoping to use this on one of the front mounts for my BMW X5. However these vents have multiple options to adjust the airflow. So I had to use a side vent near the door as these had simple slots which would provide a much more secure fit.
It will still work fine, just not where I was hoping to install this.
Also, I previously had the Peak Design Car Mount which uses a double backed adhesive. I have reinstalled this 3 times with new adhesive as heat causes it to come off the dash.
I have been using this with the Peak Design Case for my Pixel 7 pro and it is very solid. My previous mounts shook and came out a little too far making them too close to the side controls next to the steering wheel of my car. This sits close to the vent and has great stability!
This design is great. I absolutely love it. There are only two improvements I wish could happen. I wish the sliding top vent hook were metal instead of plastic (mine snapped in the first day). Secondly, I wish the length of the mount section were shorter (it does not fit for my shorter vents). So do your due diligence and actually measure your vent dimensions using what Peak Design provides in the listing. It’s worth the extra time.
Cut a piece of copy paper lengthwise into a 1/4” strip. Fold strip in half. Use 1 end to measure depth of vent and make a mark with a pencil. Unfold strip and align with your vents and mark each vent blade with your pencil to obtain the vent width.
I bought the charging version for both my Toyota Tacoma and Highlander. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. Install was less than five minutes. The instructions provided are easy to follow. The quality of the product shows. The magnetic locking mechanism, in combination with their phone case is very secure even on rough terrain and bumpy roads. I would definitely buy this again.
