Mine is mounted on the side of the dash so the phone faces me at an angle. With most phones being thin and light this isn’t a problem with vibration moving the angle of the phone. Mine has a larger battery in it and is heavier, so vibration will eventually drag its angle downward. Overall, the rubber insert in the magnetic cup will dampen any movement.

Yes it does I have one and works well. Awesome product.

The Magnet is so strong that I don’t believe there is any cell phone that it could not manage.

I’m 95% sure it would work. It works for my XR with a case (not otter box) and there is plenty of room to expand for a bigger case. The defender is probably slightly thicker than my case. If you get this… make sure you also get the magnetic ball if you don’t already have it.

I just got the iPhone X and was looking for a way to use my cases without attaching the magnet to the cases for the wireless charging. These are awesome for it. Now I can travel and still have the option to mount my phone wherever and still get my messages.

I had that problem as well. I found this bracket is best used with the window mount therefore you can adjust the arm up and down to prevent this issue.

Might be a right fit or slightly too big. I have a iPhone 7plus with the life proof case and maxed out my phone barely slides in and is held in place. Held in place none the less but depending on how wide your ottorbox adds to the phone it might be cutting it close. Hope this helps some.

Yes. Our Freemount will hold a Galaxy Note 20. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Customer Service Team at 1-800-678-6483, Mon-Fri 8AM-5PM MST.

Nope. Never had any issues with the magnet causing interference.

I do not recommend this. It’ll fit any phone. But it breaks very easily. I’ve had two. Both mechanisms broke and stopped closing.

I have no. Lue. I never read that stuff. I can say that I’m very pleased and never had a problem using or in operation. More importantly, it has never demagnetized my credit cards in the back of the phone.

No, it is designed for the steelie magnetic ball mount

Finally I don’t have to attach a magnet directly to my phone case nor do I have to attach any stinking metal plates to it either!! I’ve owned a Steelie mount for a long time now and I’ve been happy with it, but ever since changing to wireless charging with my Samsung it’s been a pain in the ass having to have a magnet attached to my phone. This attachment keeps the magnet in the car on the mount and off of my phone, and I can take it with me whenever I need the magnet to attach my phone somewhere outside of the car. I’ve wasted plenty of time trying to jerryrig a solution like this only to have it fail when I needed it most, but this baby does the job in spades. Thank you Nite Ize! You’ve done it again!

only complaint i have about this is that i have to squeeze pretty card to get it to click/lock into a position tight enough to hold my phone. if i go one less click then it is loose…other than that this pairs really well with the a car mount from nite ize, or you can just stick it to anything metal which is very convenient in many situations!..i use this with the car mount that has suction cup for your windshield and a metal ball on the end of an adjustable/swinging arm..works great in the car. very sturdy and no bumps will ever be stronger than the magnets holding it to your car mount…worth it! oh and best part is you dont always have to use it..very very easy to remove and put on..just keep in mind on my samsung phones i have to squeeze it just a tad hard to get it to hold onto my phone…not like its breaking it or anything, though!

This is the second one of these that I purchased. My first one I bought from a Verizon store several years ago, and somehow the part that is supposed to fit snug against your phone (the adjustable part) got stuck, and I couldn’t get it to push in tighter to hold my phone. My son tried to take it apart to fix it but it was not fixable. So I’ve ordered another, hopefully this will last longer. Although I did get quite a bit of use out of my first one.
I like that it’s adjustable and has an open frame, so I can have my phone plugged in and the cord does not get in the way. The biggest downside for people may be that you have to adhere a big silver ball somewhere in your car, and it’s VERY stuck. When I pull on mine, it feels like I might break the dashboard before the ball will come off. I’m sure if I want it off I’ll have to use some chemical (goo-gone) to get it loosened up. Meanwhile, there’s a silver ball stuck on my dash. I was able to find a place above my cup holder in the center console that works well to have it attached to, but you need to make sure you really think about where you’re going to want to mount this in your car, because you’re committed once you’ve put it on.

Been using Steelie’s for nearly 10 years now. Love the magnet and confidence I get when I use this product. However, I also use Otterbox cases, which the adhesive won’t stick to. So previously, the only way around using the Steelie for me was to try and adhere the socket to the belt clip that Otterbox provides and keep that in my car. Found this product this summer when I got my new Samsung 21 Ultra. Was worried about my phone being too big, but this works on the 21 Ultra. I also have an iPhone 8 for work. Works on that as well. No more adhesive strips or superglue or belt clips!

Excellent… simply great. This with the magnetic base, purchased separately, is just what I wanted. It grips my Zen-phone 3 lazer tightly, and once popped onto the base magnet, the phone refuses to move unless I move it. I put this on the dash of my 2015 Fiat 500 Turbo; not bumps (and there are many), nor throttles (also many) move the phone once it is attached. Just an excellent product… Now if they only had a 2 inch arm that extended out from the base magnet to bring the phone closer to my hand for access. My 500 has blue&me so music, and hands free phone, works well enough.
If you don’t mind sticking the base marble to your dash, or anywhere else one chooses then get this with the base. Leave your vent and CD slot alone.

My father had in if these he raved about it. About 6 months in it failed, the pin that pivoted the release arm broke, we were able to rig it with a screw and keep going.
I liked the holder a lot and thought the breakage could be a fluke, I bought one and within a few months had the same issue and it broke in the same place. I maybe used it 3 times a week on Avg.
I fixed that one the same way and then bought to this one on Amazon as a backup just in case. Well, the repaired online didn’t last and I brought out the spare. It was in use about 6 months and it broke and in exactly the same way the first two I experienced. I feel like a fool having bought 3 now, and do not expect to buy another.
What’s super unfortunate is not I feel I need to question the quality of a brand of products I have enjoyed using for years!
Btw, I would not recommend this to phone mount to anyone.

I have bought 2 of these mounts with zero problems. love them! A year later one of them Messed up, would not hold my phone. I called customer service a YR later and spoke to a real person who was awesome, very polite and understanding and sent me a new mount no question asked. I can’t believe there is a company out there like this still! I will only buy product from them now on and love them! thank you very much NITE IZE great product and great customer support love it…. can’t thank you enough!!!!

I had a Steelie magnet mount which required a magnet on my phone. Once I upgraded phones I wanted to do away with the phone magnet, so I found the free mount bracket! It works wonderfully so far! I have had it about 3 months with no issues whatsoever. I do wish the part you place your phone in felt sturdier than it does, but again, there have been no issues so far. The phone stays in place even while going over bumps and the quick release lever is super easy to use.
Overall this is a great product!

I use this bracket with the Steele ball. It is mounted on the dashboard of my husband’s semi truck. The bracket holds my iPhone 13 pro max snuggly in place. Believe me, we have been down some horrible rocky roads!! I-55 in MS, LA, AR. It hasn’t fallen out at all! I highly recommend this bracket for anyone traveling rough terrain, I.e. the interstates!!!

I have a Jeep Wrangler, it’s a pretty bumpy ride. I tried several different phone holders, the Steele was the only one able to hold my phone thru all the bumps. I had the small magnet on the back of my old phone. I now have a charging pad and was trying to figure out how to place it so it didn’t interfere with the pad. Then I saw this holder. I was worried it would not be as strong as the original. Boy was I wrong. The part that holds the phone has nice rubber grips and can adjust to many different size phones. The magnet is crazy strong. I highly recommend this holder, especially to anyone that has a bumpy ride!!
