I have tried various designs of vehicle phone holders from ones that attach to an AC vent to others that make use of a suction cup that secures it to the windshield. My favorite and most convenient phone holders so far are the ones that I can quickly place my phone on without fumbling with them too much in order to get them to securely hold the phone. This Remax silicone dash pad phone holder is now one of my favorites because I can start up a GPS map app and then in a matter of seconds place the phone between the cradle legs and be confident that my phone won't going flying off somewhere in the car when driving. Something to take note is that the cradle legs may not secure a phone in a thick case. The space that fits the phone is only 3/8 in / 10 mm wide but will stretch somewhat because it is made of soft rubber. I'm mentioning this because it is an important thing to consider before purchasing this item.
The greatest feature of this holder that it doesn't need any sticky adhesives to stay secure on the dashboard which may ruin the finish. Since the holder dash pad is made of silicone rubber that has a glossy smooth finish on the bottom, it has a tenacious grip on most surfaces which includes most dashboards. I say most because some dashboards have certain finishes and textures that may not allow the holder to grip as well as it should and then others sometimes have features such as a section that has compartment that can hold items that would prevent this holder from resting on the dashboard surface properly. I have one such vehicle like that so this holder didn't work as well on the dashboard in that vehicle but it worked well in my remaining vehicles.

The one standout feature of this holder beside the non-adhesive silicone grip is the magnetic charging cable. This feature is ingenious because it allows for you to easily remove the phone from the holder and use the phone without the cable exerting stress on the phone charging port when handling it or having to unnecessarily disconnect or reconnect the cable for whatever reason. However, it isn't without faults because the magnetic end wasn't designed as well on it should have been. The magnetic button is magnetized to a three pin pad on the dash pad that supplies the electric connection when contacted to each other. The magnet is supposed to keep it secure but it isn't as strong as it should be because at times it will disconnect and reconnect during the course of driving. This tends to happen when driving on rough roads such as pothole laden and other poorly maintained roads. Thankfully, the magnet on my holder seems somewhat more strong than some other reviewers of this product because for the most part the magnetic button does stay connected with little problem.
The charging end includes an Apple Lightning and Micro-B USB plugs. One plug that is missing and I feel should have been included is a USB type-c plug. Since this holder is a newly released product and USB type-c is starting to replace the old Micro-B USB type plugs on more and more newly released mobile devices in the market, why it wasn't included is perplexing because it would of future proofed this product in the coming years when USB type-c eventually completely replaces Micro-B USB.
Lastly, I like the matte black color because it doesn't standout in comparison to the dashboard with exception of the matte red logo that shows up more readily on the windshield because of the brighter color but not by any means enough to distract from driving because of the small size. If you have a phone or phone in a case with a bright color then that won't really matter anyways.
Overall I really like this phone holder because it is convenient to use compared to some other phone holders. The design is unique and innovative but it does need some improvement as per the reasons stated above.

Car Air Vent Magnetic Phone Holder

This little unit is pretty amazing. I have a 2012 Nissan Altima with a Kenwood DNX571HD. This little mount goes perfectly right above my radio. The mount pulls the phone very close to the vent it almost looks like My LG G3 was built in. The mount itself has a very good magnetic pull and the little metal plates are so thin it fit right behind my battery cover with no extra buldge! It also features two sizes I actually mounted it on the little vent lever so I can move it side to side and up and down with the vent. I have hit speed bumps and pot holes and the phone does not move. Partner this Mount with Car Dashdroid App and you have a perfect match! I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Simply take it out of the clear plastic mold and you're ready to go. Now take out your smartphone and follow the easy instructions for installing the metal plate on the phone or in your case. Hover the phone close to the mount and VOILA! Snaps right on thanks to the synchronous quad magnetic array in the mount!

• 2-IN-1 DESK STAND & AIR VENT MOUNT ✔ For people on the move! Use in your vehicle vent then take then it home or to the office and insert any credit card to convert it to a desk stand. For use in a car, office, kitchen counter, restaurant or coffee shop and bring a complete entertainment center with you right in your pocket.
• 360° ROTATION ✔ Allowing an easy, effortless switch from taking calls to following GPS navigation. There's no ball joint to turn, only beautiful magnetic force that firmly holds your phone. Use this mount just once in your car-vent and you'll be wondering why you waited so long to switch!
• PROTECTS YOUR PHONE ✔ Rubberized head works perfectly with the quad magnet array so that your phone is protected from scratches and so that it won't slide off! The four strong magnets provide the piece of mind that your phone will be held gently but firmly exactly where you need it to stay.

This accessory securely holds my IPhone 6 to the car's air vents. It was easy to add to my phone, I simply slid the magnetic pads in between the phone and case. There were three different magnetic pads, so it was easy to keep the pads away from the camera, etc. The magnetic pads are thin and do not make the phone much heavier. The clip is sturdy and securely attaches to the car's air vents. The angle is perfect to see phone while driving. This is perfect for those hands free states, so that I can see directions and follow the law to be hands free (I'm in CA a lot). The phone remained securely attached for all bumps and turns while driving. The only negative is that this accessory diverts air coming from the vents. I live in the Phoenix area and I can see this being removed in the summer when air is a must! Overall a great addition to my phone and car!
Works very well. The magnet is so strong, you really need to put it inside a case. If you attach the metal to the phone and magnet to the metal, it will be difficult, not impossible, but difficult to separate them. I removed the case of my iPhone a taped the metal plate inside it. The tape is only there to keep the plate from sliding around. You don't have to use the tape. You could use the adhesive backed disk (provided) instead. With the thickness of the case between the magnet and the plate, the phone is held securely but is easily removed. Best way to remove is to slide off sideways instead of pulling off directly. The base of the magnet has two different thickness grooves to slip over the slats of your A/C vent for a good fit. The only negative (small) is the phone blocks a portion of the vent and the magnet's base somewhat restricts adjustment of the vent. This unit allows me to put my phone in one secure place so I don't have to unbuckle my seatbelt to get into my pants pocket to answer the phone. You can remove the entire unit with magnet attached and use it as a stand on a tabletop. Very convenient. I bought two of these so I don't have move the unit from car to car. Now I still have one metal plate and 4 adhesive backed disks to use if ever needed. BTW. The entire unit has a soft rubber-like covering, so no scratches.
Without a doubt, a universal magnetic cell phone holder is a good investment. There are many different types available in the market, so be sure to test out a few before purchasing one.
