MagBuddy Vent+ Mount - Black

Works quite well:
- Extremely portable. I don't have my own car, but use ZipCar or other rentals quite often; this mount is perfect.
- Strong magnet. You can just feel the strength of the magnet by using your hands to separate your phone. It's pretty strong and there's little to no chance the phone will slide or fall off. I've been on bad roads and my phone still stands.
- Makes phone easy to use in the car. I can mount and dismount the phone so easily with this. No fiddling with stands, clamps, etc.
- Fits well in the air vent. There are two gap sizes for the air vents, should be appropriate for most cars.

I own a 2014 Ford Edge, and as all the other owners of this vehicle model I had the very same trouble, no place to put your phone when driving. Some people buy stands that go in the cup trays but I found that too bulky and in my way. I like to keep things simple. This was the best option I found and I'm happy with it. When not needed it doesn't disturb, when using it it keeps my phone more at sight height and as it's on the vent it keeps my phone cool when using the GPS with screen on at all times. Magnet is really strong and keeps my phone secured even when going through heavy bumps.

We have purchased 2 of these now, one for each car. I originally bought the first one because I was starting as an Uber/Lyft driver and needed an easy way to show my navigation. It was so helpful that when I would drive the other vehicle, I felt lost without it (sometimes literally). The rectangle magnet fit easily in my phone case and stays in place 99% of the time. The only time the magnet has needed to be adjusted is when my 13 month son throws my phone on the floor and it jars the magnet. The airvent mount fits on both of my airvents - one of which is a horizontal design and the other is a vertical design. It doesn't fall out (even when my wife slams the brakes) but it could be a little tighter on the vent. Once you put the magnet up to the mount, it is solid. It does not slide, fall, or twist. Having them on the airvent keeps it right in my view without being too distracting.

This is an excellent little gadget! No need for a clunky mounting device that may not even fit your air vents, this little guy can handle it. I have a Toyota Yaris, so my air vents aren't very large, but this fits perfectly on them. The mounting device is about the size of half-dollar, and the rubbery grips can be sort of difficult to put on at first, but hopefully that means they will stay on!

Bought this for a long weekend drive where I knew I had to use the phone GPS function and did not want to have it on my lap. I was skeptical about putting the phone on the air vent but as it turns out using the GPS for hours on end does make the phone heat up and having it on the AC vent helped keep the phone cool which also helps prolong battery life. It comes with 2 thin metal plates that can be stuck (one side has sticky tape) or placed between the phone and the phone case. The magnet is strong enough to not have the phone slip off or twist around while driving. It's a very convenient and safe way to be "hands free" in the car. I'll be buying a couple more to give as gifts to my family.
