MagSafe Car Mount Air Vent Ball Joint Double Lock Clamp

Yes, the MagSafe Car Mount Air Vent Ball Joint Double Lock Clamp holds any MagSafe iPhone by magnet, from the iPhone 12 to recent models, bare or in a MagSafe-compatible case. For an older iPhone or a case without a magnet, an adhesive metal ring needs to be added.

Yes, the manufacturer states 20 magnets to hold the iPhone on bumpy roads, provided the iPhone's magnet or the adhesive ring is well centred. A thick case without a magnet weakens the grip.

Vents with horizontal or vertical slats, where the clamp closes on a slat. Round vents and adjustable nozzles are not suitable: check the shape of your vent before ordering.

No, the jaws of the clamp are lined with non-slip silicone, which holds the slat without scratching it. Just avoid pulling on the mount to remove it: open the clamp instead.

No, a MagSafe iPhone attaches directly, bare or with a compatible case. With an older iPhone or a case without a magnet, stick the metal ring supplied on the back of the phone or the case.

Yes, the ball joint lets you turn the iPhone to portrait or landscape and then tilt it towards you. As the face of the mount is round, the iPhone snaps on in whichever direction you want.

No, it has no wireless charging: the magnet is only there to hold the phone. The charging cable plugs into the iPhone and the car socket as usual.

No, the mount adds no heat since it does not charge. Placed in front of the vent, however, it receives air from the heating: point the airflow elsewhere if it is hot.

Loosen the clamp and it comes off, with no tools or glue on the car. Only the adhesive metal ring, if fitted, stays on the back of the iPhone or the case.
