Checking your phone and your mounting surface
The mount grabs a phone with 24 N55 magnets, so an iPhone 17, 16, 15, 14, 13 or 12 series handset attaches without a separate plate and without blocking the navigation signal. If you use a different phone or a thick case up to 5mm, the included magnetic ring is what makes the mount work. Applying that ring is the first thing to sort out before you buy.
The base is a twist-lock vacuum suction cup layered with nano gel. It is designed for a windshield or dashboard, and the same base can attach to countertops, mirrors, desks and vanity surfaces when you want the phone out of the car.
Our advice is to consider this one if you already own a MagSafe iPhone or are willing to fit the ring to your current phone and case. It is a mounting solution first, not a wireless charger.

What it will not do
This is a holder, so it is not a wireless charging pad and it will not add power to your phone. The cooling design is there to improve airflow around the mount during long drives, not to charge or actively cool the handset.
The listing calls the suction unshakable and the hold strong on rough roads, but it does not list a safe-driving certification or a crash-test result. Treat it as a way to keep your phone visible and reachable, not as a guarantee of performance in every situation.
Check your local rules for where a phone may be mounted before you install it.

At $32.99, the holder is $8.78 below a typical price over the last 90 days of $41.77. That is 21 percent off the typical figure, and 345 ratings average 4.3 stars.
This $32.99 price sits below the typical price over the last 90 days of $41.77, a recent average rather than a former price. We would base the call on this checkout amount rather than waiting for a flash sale.
The mounting and surface checks that decide it
The nano gel base is rated for -40°F to 196°F and the adhesive is described as residue-free when peeled away, so cleaning the glass or dashboard first and pressing the base flat matters more than the temperature on the day. The same gel layer is washable and air-dries to recover most of its grip, which reduces the need to buy replacement pads.
The arm is zinc alloy and rotates 360 degrees on a tri-axis joint, folding into a compact shape when you leave the car. Before you commit, confirm you have a smooth windshield or dashboard area that lets the arm reach your preferred viewing angle without blocking your view or an airbag.
Who should choose it and who should skip it
Choose this if you want a MagSafe phone to snap on and off with one hand, and you would rather use a suction base than clip something to a vent. The foldable zinc arm and the washable gel make it a reasonable fit for a commuter who moves the mount between vehicles or rooms.
Skip it if you need wireless charging as part of your car setup, or if you drive a phone whose case is thicker than the 5mm the ring is rated for. Your final check is the surface itself: a clean, smooth spot that holds the vacuum and keeps the folded arm within reach.
