Belkin MagSafe Vent Mount Pro - MagSafe Phone Mount for Car Magnetic Phone Holder Compatible with iPhone 17

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a simple, kind of modern-looking, yet durable MagSafe phone mount for an iPhone, mainly while teaching a teenager how to drive and to not touch his phone - it's in your line of sight, you will live for 20 minutes of no interaction LOL (and also got it for me, I mean it's my car). It magnetizes to both my MagSafe phone case and MagSafe socket, and the strength is pretty darn good. Every time I remove my phone, the socket is still left on the Belkin. I had both this non-charging Belkin and the charging Belkin that I was looking into. I saw reviews of the other Belkin wireless car charger but the reviews weren't really too positive as far as charging goes and stated that the charge wasn't that great or it didn't charge quickly or it eventually lost charge completely. I already have phone cords in my vehicle so TBH that wasn't really a feature I needed - I just needed a phone mount that I didn't have to un/screw into my air vents, didn't have four sides to it that had to hold your phone in place, was plastic & cheap - I wanted MagSafe only. I also did not want a mount with any sticky stuff that goes on your window or your dashboard. I'm a simple kinda gal. I want simple stuff. Belkin delivered. The size was discreet, although having an air vent mount will always block some portion of your air/air vent, that is expected and I'm totally fine with that. Belkin has a shorter top area and a longer bottom so it succeeded in not blocking my air vent too bad (which are vertical). If anything, the position of the MagSafe on my phone is what made the phone block the air/vent. The gray prongs that go into your vent.... Now, I was going to give this one star off but changed my mind (really should only be a half of a star) and not because I'm disappointed with the product itself or because of Belkin's design flaws per se. So, the gray prong that goes into your vent is silicone. That part is fantastic! No slipping at all while driving. The only time the prongs come off the vent is when I try to pull my phone off the mount too hard when I'm getting out/done, if I pull my phone to the side/in a sideways manner, the mount stays in place. They made the prongs a little too short. It would probably help just a little if the prongs were a tad bit longer, but I can understand why they didn't risk that because some vehicles have air vents with shorter panels and some with longer so it's better to just fit all vehicles by making the prongs short, I guess. The prongs are attached to what I call a rotator cuff (yes, it was fitting to give that name). That rotator cuff obviously moves in a circular motion but it sure as heck needs some WD40 because when I try to adjust the Belkin to accomodoate my air flow, the rotator cuff will sometimes not move and the prongs just remove themselves from the air vent. Did that make sense? You see why I was interested in longer prongs? Maybe that would have helped. Maybe not. I can still move the rotator cuff but in doing so, I have to push the Belkin into the vent and then adjust the position. Hope that was easy to understand. That was really the only issue I had with it, but nonetheless, it is a such a great product, I am a happy customer that I found Belkin (no idea why I settled on cheap flimsy options before a review of another product brought me to Belkin's page) but hey... I will definitely be a returning customer. Read more

I LOVE THIS ! I had the sticky type of phone mount and let me tell you that having this one it’s sooooo much better will not ruined the leather of your dash , I had the sticky one for like a week and I’m glad I switched when I took it off there was a dent already on it ! It works great and it keeps your phone from overheating since is in the vent , I have an iPhone 15 pro max and holds well the weight of it , easy to mount and very clean and elegant design.

Make sure your phone case is rated for magsafe. I tried multiple car holders and this is the only one that stuck. It’s never fallen off. The phone, however, falls off occasionally if my car goes over big humps in the road, so I took off a star for that. It’s rare and stays on 90% of the time. I like the swivel function, easy to mount portrait or landscape. The clips slide in easy and stay firmly attached. They remove easily. Clean look when phone is detached. Read more

Simple and works great Read more

I have the iPhone16 Pro and the Belkin is strong enough to hold the phone. If I'm driving a local road the phone stays on perfectly. However if I make a turn or hit a bump in the road, the phone has flown off several times. Definitely frustrating especially if I'm driving in an area I'm unfamiliar. I could see this being perfect if you had an older iPhone model that had Magsafe. Read more

I've had this mount for a few years now and my experience has been largely positive. The magnet is strong and has held onto various generations Pro Max iPhones without any issue. The mount is a bit heavy so depending on the vent it can force the vent closed (i.e. in a down position). I've encountered a few rental cars that didn't have traditional vents with which this device was incompatible - but I think that would be the case for any vent mount so won't dock points. So it's a solid device that holds the phone well, but would I buy it again? In short, no. In this day and age a mount that has wireless charging is a dealbreaker for me. Especially because the charging port is the only port on modern iPhones and if you want to plug in an accessory - for instance a wireless audio transmitter/splitter (I ran into this scenario just this week) - then you'll need wireless charging to keep it charged at the same time. It's a solid device and if you know you don't need wireless charging then it's a good option, but I'd personally go with something more robust. Read more
