Nite Ize Steelie Car Mount Kit

Brilliant item, instructions are detailed on how to install and remove the product, I have installed this in a horizontal position on the edge of the dashboard to allow the phone to be viewable from all locations. As for the 4mm deep magnet for the back of the phone, it is unobtrusive and with the right tools (a drill and 22mm holesaw) the magnet can be fitted to the back of any phone and used with any aftermarket case. The magnet also comes in useful in the kitchen, where I can attach my phone to any metallic object and have it kept off the working surface whilst still being easily accessible.

Great item Brought this for iPhone 5s and Is perfect for the job. The magnetic ball stuck down with ease onto the plastic trim on my dashboard. Luckily I had a inexpensive phone case which I was able to make a appropriate whole to stick down the magnet on the back of the phone. I was a bit worried about separating the magnets when I remove the phone and the sticky pad would come off the dash. But The magnet separate easy all you do is just slide your phone away without having to pull. Also it's very sturdy and the phone stays in the position you want to when driving. So to sum it up great phone holder just follow the instructions and you should be good.

Easily the most elegant car mounting solution I've ever dealt with. The plate attachment on the back of the phone isn't the most fetching accessory I've ever seen but you can't argue with the effectiveness and ease of use. Completely outclasses any suction cup, plastic grip mounts I've ever seen and I envisage it lasting a long time. Also the magnet on the back of the phone is great for sticking it to the fridge.

This is very elegant and simple solution to safely mount a phone in the car. In fact, we have two Steelies, one for each car. The only concern is not to damage credit cards with the magnet on the back of the phone, but so far, so good.

Great idea but the sticky pad is not sticky enough. I had to superglue mine on. Once that's sorted, it's GREAT!

I bought this in 2014 and the magnet remains on both my dashboard and my phone in 2021 - i love it. It works exactly like when I bought it, and since it's round it attaches comfortably, and can be twisted and moved to sit any way. Can't recommend this one enough - great buy.

This product should be cheaper to buy, but its registered trademarked 3M VHB adhesive remains well stuck to my car's dashboard and I am well satisfied - so far.

I bought this for an iPhone 6 Plus, together with a skinny case [from a different supplier] so I didn't have to stick the back magnet to my phone directly. I had no issues getting either the dashboard mount or the phone mount to stick, as long as you use the included alcohol wipe sparingly, and dry the surfaces with a tissue, it grips just fine. How long this adhesion will last, time will tell but if it fails, I will come back and edit this post. I actually placed the phone mount off-centre - slightly nearer the top of the phone than the bottom, just so as I place the phone down on a surface, it sits facing me at an angle, rather than pivoting on the magnet if mounted in the dead centre. This proved to be a mistake, as the iPhone 6 plus is sufficiently large that when I try to turn the phone into landscape on the dash mount, it falls back down into portrait, or at least, halfway between portrait and landscape, as the magnets are not quite powerful enough to grip it firmly. There is a rubber plate inset into the phone magnet; I assumed this was to prevent rotation when the phone is set on the dash mount, but it doesn't seem to work. Offering up the iPhone to the car dash mount is great, it springs onto the magnet and never falls off - it just won't stay in landscape as the magnets are "not-quite-strong-enough". Overall, a bit disappointed. This wasn't a serious investment at the price, but it wasn't cheap either considering all you get is two magnets and an alcohol wipe. I did expect the magnets to be stronger, and prevent any movement once set in position, but I was wrong. In portrait mode, it's 100% fine, but I do like to use my sat-nav app in landscape and the magnets are just not strong enough to hold the phone stable when in landscape. I do wish they had provided spare adhesive pads in the pack, so I could try moving the phone magnet to dead centre to see if this makes a difference to the landscape setting, but they don't which seems a little mean, especially as you have to get it right first time. i would recommend using a cheap phone skin to attach the phone magnet to, rather than the phone itself, as its not that small, and could annoy you after a while; this way you can take it off attached to the skin if it really gets on your nerves. So overall excellent in portrait, not good in landscape, no spare pads and not great value for money. But if you are looking for a small, unobtrusive and versatile dashboard mount, and can accept the magnet attached to the back of your phone, it's the best I have used.

Magnet slips on the metal sphere. High price and Useless.

Pros: Everything! This is the best car mount I've ever owned! I bought one, then after showing my wife and sister they both had to have one as well. They work great and take up very little space in the truck/car. The piece that sticks to my phone does not bother me either, it does not protrude very much at all (about 4mm). I have not noticed any issues with the phone due to the magnet being attached. Cons: The only concern I have is with the one I bought for my sister, we tried to mount it on a more textured surface on her car's dash board, it did not stick properly, and fell off. The adhesive would not stick to anything else after that. I don't know if this is because the adhesive came like that, or if it was because we tried to stick it on a textured dash board. Because of this I had to buy more adhesive tape. I did not want to buy online since it was way too expensive for replacement pads, so I read a bit online and found out that 3M Scotch 4011 exterior mounting tape is basically the same thing. I bought a roll for $4.99 (Home depot), and used it to stick the ball to another spot in my sisters car (a smoother area). It worked like a charm, and I have used the tape around the home as well so it wasn't a waste.

Super praktische Lösung für eine Handy Halterung! Habe das Ding zusammen mit einem Hardcase für das Sony Xperia T in meinem Audi A6 und es funktioniert! Sehr platzschonende und unauffällige Lösung. Die Kleber der beiden Teile halten bis jetzt sehr gut. und die Montage ist auch einfach. Ich kann es empfehlen!

Es la tercera vez que compro este producto, la primera vez fue cuando nadie lo conocía, importado de EE.UU., a través del fabricante directamente y pagué casi 100 dolares con envío y aduanas, hace ya 7 u 8 años, una maravilla. Luego lo compré hará unos 4 años para nuestro segundo coche, debido a lo contento que estaba con su funcionamiento, en eBay, también a EE.UU. Y esta vez lo he comprado en Amazon, las otras veces no estaba a la venta por este medio, supongo que solo se vendía en EE.UU., para tenerlo de repuesto, ya que algún día se estropeará (aunque es difícil debido a su sencillez) o si cambiamos de coche y olvido sacarlo... por lo que sea, pero para tener uno de reemplazo. Es sencillo a más no poder, pegas un disco con un iman de gran potencia en la parte posterior de tu móvil o de una funda para tu movil (lo recomendable) y a su vez pegas el soporte (que es una simple bola de acero de unos 30mm de diámetro) en el salpicadero, lo único que tienes que hacer a partir de entonces para poner el movil en el soporte es acercarlo a unos 2cm y el imán hace el resto o bien tirar de él con firmeza (no hace falta excesiva fuerza) para sacarlo. Mi recomendación, ten una funda para tu móvil del día a día, la que llevas siempre, y compra una funda a parte en la que pegar el imán, ya que sobresale unos 5-6mm de la funda y no es cómodo, esta última la guardas en la guantera del coche o donde te vaya mejor, pero en el coche, y cuando lo necesites usar como GPS o para lo que te haga falta, cambias una funda por la otra y lo colocas en el soporte, cómodo, rápido y simple. La única pega es el hecho de que el imán sobresalga por la parte posterior, pero si lo ha comprado tres veces digo yo que muy incómodo no debe ser, además, no es ningún armatoste como otros, ni es difícil de montar ni supone una inversión elevada, así que lo recomiendo al 100%

Ca fait bientôt 4 mois que je l'utilise et le support est nickel! Le telephone tient très bien et l'aimant est vraiment classe dans la voiture! Petit conseil pour ceux qui hésitent parce qu'il y a un support a ajouter sur le telephone, ayant une coque, je l'ai mis sur la coque et la laisse dans la voiture sur le support directement. Bref, un produit classe, super resistant et très pratique!
