The best charging car mount

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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!

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.

Awesome - with a HUGE caveat

I bought both the charging mount and the non-charging mount and have the same pros and cons for each. Pros: Overall, it's an excellent mount, solid connection to the PD case, and has good connection for the admittedly bulky S21Ultra. It has a small profile, so the mount itself doesn't intrude on anything on the dash (radio, etc).
Cons: Here's where I'm pretty disappointed with the usually thoroughly-thought-out designs PD come up with - the mount is essentially permanently mounted to a single vehicle. The connection to the car is a square of 3M adhesive pad attached to the dash. I have multiple vehicles I want to be able to use this in, including rentals, and a permanently attached mount is the anthesis of PD's usual mobile and travel-friendly products. Additionally, the ball joint for the attachment seems to be manufactured to be permanent, so moving just the charging pad from different mounting arms is not an option. I worked around by attaching a high quality magnetic plate with the PD adhesive, and then use a generic anchored magnetic vent clip (which coincidentally DOESN'T have a good connection with the PD case).
PD's next project needs to be some type of vent clip adaptor for the magnetic mounts for people who change cars when they travel. Until there's a travel-friendly option, I probably wouldn't enthusiastically recommend this car mount.
