Scosche Qi2 Wireless MagSafe Car Mount Charger 15W Magnetic Cell Phone Holder for Car with AMPS Mounting Plate

EDIT: After using this charger for a couple months, driving from the Pacific Northwest to Michigan's UP and back, on gravel roads and interstate highways in a huge dually pickup that rides like an ox cart, it is still fantastic! So I want to respond to some of the complaints about it that have been posted since I wrote my review. The strength of the magnets is excellent. If a device is falling off of this charger, it is because the device was mispositioned on the charger, the device is an early MagSafe iPhone with weaker magnets, or the device is in a case that is low quality or non-MagSafe. It surprises me how many people put their MagSafe phone in a case that isn't MagSafe and then complain about their phone not sticking to MagSafe chargers. As for vibration, this charger is rock solid. If a phone is vibrating on it, this is because the AMPS mount itself is vibrating. That's not the charger's fault. (This does happen to me on washboard gravel roads.) FWIW, I'm back to buy my fourth MagicMount charger! Original review: I purchased the Scosche MEQMRAMPS MagicMount Qi2 to replace an old clamp-style phone holder that was installed in my truck on an AMPS-style bracket. It was a simple matter to remove the old phone clamp and replace it with this Scosche. The magnetic coil seems to hold my iPhone at least as securely as Apple's latest 25W OEM charger. I love the sleek, clean design of this product. The dark grey and black materials have a matte finish that looks great and blends well with my truck's interior. The innovative cable management system completely eliminates any excess cable. And the soft surface of the charging pad ensures that nothing gets scratched. This is a well thought out product. This product has two main components: the MagicMount charging pad; and the charger itself, which is a 40W charger with Power Delivery that fits into a cigarette lighter-style power port in a vehicle. It features two USB-C ports, leaving users with one available port even after the Scosche is plugged in. I did not use or test the Scosche charger. In terms of heat, it is important to remember that wireless charging is more convenient but less efficient than plugging in a USB-C cable into your phone. Heat is the result of this inefficiency. There is no way to avoid heat with a wireless charger. But how hot is normal? I consider the heat generated when charging with the new Apple 25W MagSafe charging puck to be the reference point. Well-designed third-party chargers shouldn't get significantly hotter when charging. To test this, I plugged the MagicMount into an Anker charger that I trust, attached my iPhone 13 Pro, and after it had charged for a while, I measured the temperature on the back of the phone with an IR thermometer. I compared this reading to what I got when attached my phone to the Apple 25W puck under the same conditions. I am happy to report that the two measurements were the same. The bottom line here is that I love this product. It looks great and it works well. I like it so much that I will be buying another one to use in my other vehicle. It is easy to recommend. Five stars. Read more

I've got this in two vehicles now and it works great. Locks the phone in place with no worry about it falling. It charges both my iPhones and Samsung phone with mag cases on them. Totally worth it for a really fast and easy way to "slap your phone on the dash" and have it both secure and charging. Read more

I recently wanted to upgrade my ProClip phone mount to a charging one, but they were out of stock. I found this on Amazon and it was a perfect fit. It lined up with the ProClip mount perfectly -- could not have been any easier! The magnet is strong enough that it holds my phone -- even on bumpy roads! Charges well too. Highly recommend!

I love the design of this product I love how the cord winds up in the base. But the only problem is the magnet is too weak and the phone keeps falling off. This is very discouraging and I have been dealing with it for four months now and had to buy a cheaper one with a stronger magnet. Very Bummed because I totally dig the look of the Scosche. The price was higher than the new one and over all it would've been fine the magnet was stronger. Read more

Fit my existing pro clip mount perfectly on my 2015 Sienna. Works well. Good magnet holds my iPhone 16 in place over lots of pot holes and dodging wild Arizona drivers. This was very easy to install. Read more

I'm returning this item because it didn't meet my needs, but it is still a good, quality product. Pros: - Holds the phone in place, easy to use - Charger is good and has an extra USB-C port - Easy to install (needs a pro-clip base) Cons: - It holds an iPhone much tighter than a Samsung (both with the same magnetic case), but the Samsung never fell off. - The screws provided to attach to the pro-clip base were not the rights size. I had to use the original screws that came with my pro-clip. - If you use your phone as a GPS (which is the main reason to get this base), the wireless charge isn't really enough to top-off your phone while using it. I got to my destination (an hour away) with barely the same charge I had started with. With a cable, I'm always at 100% at my destination. This is the main reason I'm returning it and exchanging for the non-charging version. - The charger provided is a bit long and sticks out of the lighter port more than it should. I have similar chargers that are more streamlined. Read more

I was skeptical that this would hold my phone securely, but it does a great job. Charging is fast and it was easy to install. Read more

Magnet is super weak. My phone would fall off from going over some typical Boston bumps. But I do have a Caseify case so that could play a factor. I’m not about to take my limited edition Gundam case off to use this so I returned it. Read more
