What you will want to confirm before buying this mount
This is a suction cup mount with a magnetic head, so the first question is where you'll stick it. The base is a 3.72 inch adhesive pad for flat surfaces, including textured ones, and the suction cup presses onto that pad. If your dash or windshield has a tight curve or a heavily grained, porous finish, the pad may not get enough contact.
The magnetic side works with MagSafe iPhones from the 12 series onward, and Scosche includes a MagicPlate for iPhone X, 11, SE and Android phones or tablets. Total device weight shouldn't go past 3 lbs, which covers most phones and small tablets but not every rugged tablet. We recommend measuring your device and case first, since the 3 lb figure is the whole load the head has to carry.

What it will not do
This mount holds a device, nothing more. It won't charge your phone, power a dash cam or correct a weak suction surface. The 6.5 inch arm gives you reach over a deep dashboard and the head rotates 360 degrees, but the hold still depends on a clean, flat mounting surface and a phone within the weight rating.
If you have an iPhone 11 or older without MagSafe, the MagicPlate gets you compatibility, but that's a different hold than the magnet-to-phone connection on newer iPhones.
Expect a mount, not a charger: the magnetic head doesn't pass power to your phone.
The arm is rigid once locked, so it doesn't damp road vibration beyond the anti-shake stabilizer.

At $31.66, this is the lowest price we've seen for the Scosche MP2WD2HD, based on all-time tracking. The typical price over the last 90 days is $39.84, so today's listing saves about $8.18, or 21 percent.
The current rating is 4.3 stars from 53 reviews. That's a modest sample, but it lines up with the heavy-duty positioning in trucks and vans where a windshield mount sees more vibration.
Mounting and placement checks for your vehicle
Before you commit, decide which flat surface you'll use. The adhesive pad goes on first, then the suction cup base locks onto it. Windshield glass, a flat dash panel or a smooth console top are the usual spots. A deep, sloped dashboard may leave the 6.5 inch arm reaching too far or sitting in your line of sight.
Think about heat and sun exposure on the suction cup and adhesive pad, since those conditions can affect how long the base stays put. Also check that your device plus case stays under 3 lbs, because the magnetic hold is rated to that limit.
Who should choose this and who should skip it
We'd consider this mount for a truck, van, RV or bus driver with a flat dash or windshield area and a MagSafe iPhone 12 or later. The long arm and 360-degree head suit a deep dashboard where a standard mount sits too far away, and the $31.66 price is the lowest tracked.
We'd skip it if you need charging built into the mount, if your only mounting spot is curved or fabric-covered, or if your tablet is heavier than 3 lbs. If you drive an older iPhone, plan on the MagicPlate and confirm you're comfortable with that connection before you buy.
