Works but there is better

It’s small, good looking and works with PD mobile line. But, PD choose to make only one connecting mechanism ( to the car ) and that is by sticky type, not the best choose in my opinion .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for the feedback! We just released a 1" Ball adapter that works with a variety of 3rd party mounting systems (suction cups, vent mounts, etc) if the sticky VHB mount is not a great fit for you. We do also have a vent mount in development, so stay tuned for that!
I usually love PD products but am sorely dissatisfied in the wireless charging car mount. You will NOT be able to mount this sideways (sticking out from your dash as opposed to sitting on top) without the 3M adhesive failing immediately. Yes, I waited even longer than the 24 hours to allow the adhesive to form a bond - still had my mount begin peeling off immediately upon use. If you don’t have a modern, luxury style dash like the ones pictured then this mount will probably not work for you. Really disappointed in PD as they usually design products so thoughtfully.

Sorry for the frustration here! While mounting on top of the dash is most ideal for our car mount due to the slight curvature in the base, the mounts can and have been able to be mounted to fronts of car dashboards that are more "flat" as you have described here.
We have also seen instances of adhesive failing if not properly cleaned thoroughly which is why we express this importance very strongly in all of our videos. This is especially important if products like armor-all have been used in the past as those can leave a coating that can prevent the adhesive from adhering properly.
We are also working to make modifications to the base plate of the Car Mounts to be able to better accommodate both Flat and more curved surfaces. We have reached out to you via email to send one out of these to try out and see if that resolves this issue for you as we think it should!
I found the perfect spot in my vehicle for this phone Mount. I snap my phone on and it is never lost on the floor or below the seat. Easy to see and access. Much safer to use.
Using it to replace my custom mount setup in my car for my old Nexus 6. The Peak design car mount is very well built and has a very nice finish, super solid feel and looks great. Installation is easy, it has a very small foot print when installed and can look great installed, unlike many other mounts that are creaky/cheap plastic junk barely hanging off your vent or dashboard or windshield taking up a lot of space that don't charge.
I do wish there were a couple more adjustment options for the base/stem to get things in to just the right position, even a longer stem could be nice. A car mount compatible with something like the Garmin ball mounting system would be amazing and open up a lot of possibilities.
I bought to his to work with my Peak Design Everyday Mobile case. The mount securely attached to my dash and my iPhone never budges when it's mounted. The swivel makes adjustment easy. With the case design, I can mount horizontally or vertically.
I bought this wireless charger car mount for my iPhone after seeing many users on a forum I follow recommend it. It was very easy to install, is small and fits nicely tucked in on the left corner of the dash and the wire clips made it easy to hide the charging wire out of sight for a more seamless installation. I am easily able to attach and charge my iPhone 12 in its MagSafe case and it is very sturdy while on the charger but then easily removes with little effort. Great design overall and would highly recommend!
