Magnetic car dash phone holder
Playamonte

Have not used it to date as I was wondering about the effects on my iPhone 5 as after install.
Tried the phone after the install to test strength and bang !, not much chance of it falling off I fancy. Put the metal plate onto the see through plastic cover on the phone so this may help ?
For sure I had a look online for any issues but most seem divided so who better to ask than the community here.

Thoughts ?

I have one for my iPhone 6S. I use an Apple phone cover so can't see the plate but there is a minor bulge on the back. I'm using the thinnest of plate but still can see the bulge. It is very minor and not a problem at all.

I use one of these mount that goes onto the air vent https://www.amazon.co.uk/Release-Mpo.../dp/B00Z66LWDW it works a treat and extremely sturdy with no chance of phone falling off.

Yes have the same one.
It's the magnets power on the phones internals that started me wondering if safe to use & hence my web search.
Some of the info I found said it would effect the GPS as the magnets could confuse the phones internal navigation system.

Interesting point about the GPS. The main reason I use the magnetic holder so I can use TomTom app on the phone whilst driving and TomTom works fine.

I have used mag mounts since the first iPhone 9 years ago. Never had a problem. There is no easier way to mount a phone.

I had an iphone 9 but couldn't get on with the immortality drive so went back to the 4S and sold my time machine on eBay.
