    Default Iphone Dash Mount

    Any recommendations? I was looking at the iMagnet.

    I find the smaller magnets like that don't have enough surface area to be strong enough when you have plate in behind a case. I have a 5.5" phone (ie heavy) so that might be a factor as well.

    This one is very sturdy providing you have a CD slot in the right place:

    You're all going to laugh but I've gone through a variety of mounts for my S3 and the only one that worked was my homemade one.

    Now remember that my phone only gets mounted in my old work truck and I'm not one to care much about aesthetics but I used a 1.25'x2" velcro strip. Not pretty by any means but it stays stuck all of the time regardless how bumpy things get.

    Certainly not the solution for most but it sure as hell works, my kids get a laugh out of it but it's been better than any suction or vent or magnetic mount.
    Will fuck off, again.

    Looks promising. My only concern would be how sturdy it mounts to the CD Player. Looking forward to your review.
