Amazingly well made and well thought out mount!

I bought two of these charging car mounts. One is installed in my Accord and the other will go in my Odyssey soon.
Installing method and stability: this adhesive method seems like it will work well and will last for a long time. It was a quick install. Also, this will not go anywhere for a long time to come.
Phone holding capability: this magnetic charging mounts holds the phone securely. With or without the Everyday Case, the mounting is secure. It allows for the phone to be held either in portrait or landscape mode. The angle adjustment on the mount is very well made and easy to use with just one hand.
One con that I have experienced so far: since the neck of this mount is short, the phone does not mount up high. This results in the need to install the mount very close to the dashboard edge. Depending on the angle of the dashboard, this may result in not an ideal phone viewing angle. You can see this in the attached pictures. I use an iPhone 13 Pro Max. This is a large phone and needs quite a bit of clearance from the dashboard. This could be improved upon with a slightly longer neck!

Best mount ever!

I have had my Peak Design iPhone case + car mount for about a month. I have never been happier with a phone case and mount. The case is perfect- I don’t drop my phone anymore and I can wirelessly charge my on MagSafe charger without removing the case. The Apple MagSafe case I had was already chipping and peeling within a month- it was a piece of trash. This case is quality! The mount doesn’t look tacky on my dash and it holds my phone solidly without my having to deal with “arms”. It goes on/comes off easily and yet I have no worries about it falling. It is a dream to use. Thank you for designing and making such great products. They aren’t inexpensive, but I got the quality for which I paid.

It mounts easily and sturdily, then is so easy to use with the magnetic phone case. Just place it there and it stays!

Great for my 2016 F-250

This mount is great in my truck. My only complain would be the slightly turned down edges on the ends of the mounting pad. I LOVE the low profile of the mount! Since it basically hangs off the edge of my dash, I am able to use my phone in either portrait or landscape mode. I run Waze when I am driving, and my battery percent went up after a 45 minute commute so the mount definitely provides more energy than the phone uses while constantly on (really my only concern).

Solid, secure, easy

I was a kickstarter backer for the mobile line of products and so happy I did. The case and car mount combo are what every person needs! The mount is solid and easy to attach to your dash. The charging feature makes dealing with cords in the car a thing of the past. The magnetic mount firmly, securely holds your phone without the blind sensing movements of other mounts. The magnetics quickly find each other and attach with a satisfying sound. The case is super slim, low/no weight with a great fabric feel. It offers just enough grip and slip so it’s secure to hold and easy to slip in a pocket.

Amazing car mount for my phone
on February 4, 2022

from Spokane, WA
It was a long wait, but so worth it. The car mount for my phone is amazing. It works so well with the PD phone case. It has a strong and secure connection and charges it really well. It was super easy to install. PD even included the extra pieces for the cable management making it a super clean set up.

Decent mount, limited mounting, missing specs
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: dlfaldsfas
The mount is decent, it looks clean, but thats if you can find a suitable place to mount it. As others have mentioned, it leaves a lot to be desired in flexibility. That being said, if you can find a spot, its great.
On top of that, they don't mention specs. The mount uses 12v usb c input, but doesn't specify if any 12v profile will work, like qc 3.0 or power delivery etc.
A lot of car chargers don't support 12v in either case, and if they do it may not be the right protocol. Yes, this comes with a car charger, but if you have other devices you want to plug in and want to use a multiport adapter, you might not be getting the right input power to run it correctly since they don't provide the specs.
They also seem to neglect to mention how much power they give to iphones, even though the charger can go up to 15 watts. since its not an official magsafe accessory as far as I know, this should be limited to 7.5 watts and not the full 15 of magsafe

Best Car Mount I've ever owned
on February 2, 2022

After years of trying to find a car mount that I actually like, I have finally found that item. This thing is great: it grips my car's surface with a death grip that seemingly will never loosen. The magnet works great with the Peak Design Universal Adapter, as I can very quickly attach and remove my phone with one hand. The mount pivots easily so I can angle my phone just so. And my kids can actually work this thing without any fumbling.
