Fails at intended purpose

I bought this 6 months ago and really wanted to like it. It’s a sleek minimal design that mounts firmly and looks good. However, it doesn’t function as well as a much cheaper/uglier gas-station alternative. When using the mount with a modern iPhone and a very thin silicone case, the magnetic hold is super weak. The smallest speed bump or a slightly quick turn will send your phone bouncing under your feet… To be fair the hold direct to the phone is strong, but then you have the hassle of taking off your phone case when you get in the car. The wireless charging, with or without a phone case, is completely inadequate to charge the phone. It charges on and off and will not output enough power into the phone to maintain battery life when navigating. I’m sorry, this mount is expensive and useless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It was hard to wait a year for the best charging car mount, but I’m glad I did. It really is ‘just right’ in all respects.

Not the first PD Kickstarter I've funded and not the last. Y'all kick a** every. Single. Time. The car mount is no exception. it's very slim and unassuming. The magnet is pretty powerful and you get a precise and satisfying "thunk" Everytime you put your phone on it. If y'all ever do a version 2.0 of it, making the ends of the mounting tabs a little bit more flexible to conform to any surface would be really awesome!

Flexible mounting pad

Just received my car mount and I love it! This is SOLID gear. My car has no flat surfaces except for a glass screen so was initially concerned that I'd have to mount it there, but the base flexes and it was easy to place it on a pebbled, rounded part of the dash. Feels like it isn't going anywhere! Thanks, again, for a great product!

Really sticky

I bought this from the Kickstarter and just received it a couple weeks ago. Have been using it with my iPhone 11 Pro Max with the universal mount. One big pro compared to the vent mounted ones I’d that I can mount it low enough that my 1 foot cable reaches my phone. That way I can use CarPlay and have my phone on a stand.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A different use… in our Motorhome, enables us to charge phone whilst streaming shows on the TV. Sure it is also great as a car mount!!

Thius product just rocks

In summary its a great product - I have always been a fan of those long suction mounts so initially i was a bit skeptical - but this minimalistic car mount rocks. I have the charging one which charges instantly and stays on. My main fear was car vibrations - I thought being minimalistic it would wobble on uneven roads but nope it stayed on and didnt shake on uneven roads or on speed bumps. Good work guys.
