This is my 4th contraption for controller mount for mobile gaming. My biggest gripe from all prior purchases is that they essentially didn't work very well with a phone case. I have 1 that is somewhat okay if you don't make too jerky of a movement. Forget most of the tension models or the USB connection models unless you're fine with taking your case off every time you want to play a game with a controller. This mag mount is by far the best solution and works perfectly with my mag mount case. The battery cover adapter is simply perfection. Nothing to put on and take off later and unnoticable when not in use. The mount lock is quick and easy to remove and the hinges for angle adjustment are very tight. The magnet is so strong that it takes some effort to separate. At most, I get some minor rotation from shaking the controller that is easily correct with a single finger. The mount lock is also very strong and it seems will not fail unless it completely breaks. Not only does it come with a batter cover for the Xbox version, you also get a 2nd 3M sticky back mount that I may put in my Dualsense. Basically, 2 controller options in 1 package. Whomever designed this knocked it out of the park. The only complaint I see here is weight. The mount itself weights next to nothing. I have a S25 Ulta, so yeah it feels heavy all together, but thay isnt a device issue, it is a physics issue. It may not be suitable for people with a medical condition, disability, or small children. I am none of these and I find it very comfortable for an extended period of time, it is light and more comfortable than my Nintendo Switch. Read more
This is an INCREDIBLE invention. I spend a lot of time in and out of the hospital and I've found streaming Xbox GamePass to be immensely helpful as a distraction in that situation. When I'm really ill, gaming is the only thing that makes me feel somewhat better. Historically, I've used the OtterBox controller mount for my phone. I often left it attached to my controller because it was so difficult to take on and off without breaking it. The OtterBox mount is rather brittle and I've accidentally broken it just taking it off my controller. I replaced it, but the replacement snapped and took a chunk out of my controller when it broke (the plastic next to the charging port at the top) all because my cat sat on the OtterBox mount while it was attached to my controller and holding my phone. This controller mount is SO much better! It works but replacing the battery cover with a custom-made cover; this is where the arm of the phone holder attaches. There's a spring in the base of the arm that allows the arm to click into place on controller battery cover. There's even a toggle that will lock the spring into place should you wish to. The arm curves up, a magnetic pad mount for the phone on the opposite side. The arm can be adjusted to better angle the phone, and the phone angle can be individually adjusted as well. There is a magnetic sticker included that you adhere to the back of your phone; this allows the phone to easily attach to the mount on the arm. It's an impressively strong magnet so the phone isn't going anywhere unless you want it to. The whole setup is amazingly easy to use (something that I don't say lightly, since I'm disabled and have a lot of trouble with coordination and muscle weakness). I cannot recommend this enough - it's brilliant, lightweight, and greatly improves the experience of gaming on my phone. If you play a lot on the go, I highly recommend you get this device; it will make your life much easier. Read more
I was looking for a screen mount for a Series X controller so I could run my XBox from upstairs via remote play on an 8" tablet. I have tried other screen mounts, but most were either really heavy or limited to smaller phones. Looking around at options, I decided to give this one a try. I was originally concerned about the magnet being able to hold an 8" tablet, but that first pull of the magnet set those worries aside. It holds the tablet perfectly. I was able to position the ring such that the bottom of the tablet is just behind the controller buttons so this balances perfectly. Most other mounts I have tried have been too heavy so everything wanted to tip backwards, but not with this one. The included battery door would not work with the rechargeable batteries I use, so I just went with the adhesive one. Many thanks for the included alcohol swab which I used to clean the battery door and back of the tablet before installing the adhesive parts. Again, no worries about the hold, everything is nice and secure. I also really prefer the screw-key adjustment system. It is far superior to any push and lock or gear based system and allows for a more precise adjustment. If you are looking for a screen mount for an XBox controller, I think this will be your best option. Read more
It's super heavy. Makes my wrists hurts after about 5 minutes. But it works well. Good magnets. It's not for everyone though. How the magnet fits depends on the phone you have, where the camera and things are on the back which doesn't allow it to balance in the middle Only 4 stars due to how heavy it is. Read more
Playing around the the mount for a few days now and it looks like well designed product. I tend to be pretty good at breaking little plastic parts/accessories, but this shows no signs of weakness despite me fiddling with the latch somewhat excessively. It attaches seamlessly to the controller, and it holds my iPhone (not a max fwiw) more securely than I was expecting. Magsafe has its limitations, but this seems more than sufficient for any practical use. The mount needs some adjusting to get the balance to feel right in your hands, but there is a ton of flexibility to move your phone around and once you do it stays in place. Great addition to the mechanism eco-system. Read more
