Customers value the AutoGrip Magnetic Vent Mount's ease of use, quality, and compact size, frequently praising its convenient design and strong hold. However, some users experienced issues with the magnet strength and the clip's durability, reporting that the mount sometimes falls off the vent or that the magnet isn't strong enough to hold heavier phones securely. Concerns were also raised regarding the adhesive's longevity and compatibility with larger phones. Overall, the product receives positive feedback for its ease of use and design but needs improvement in terms of the magnet's strength and the clip's reliability.

Does its job fairly well. Just had a few times where the magnet failed when turning hard or the clip fell off while driving. I had to jam it in the pretty good to get it to finally stay. Unfortunately I believe I have slightly damaged my vent as a result.

This little thing is awesome, small and convenient, but its pretty strong both in the magnet and the vent grip. If you use any of the schoche magnetic mounts this one is way better and way cheaper and has a better hold and stability on the vent mount than the standard rubber squeeze grip that fails in a week this one clamps on woth a rubber grip with very good holding power.

Taking off my phone from the mount would cause the mount to slightly detach from the vent. Doing so repeatedly eventually takes the mount off completely. Wish it was more secure

I have a big phone. It's a one plus 7t. This mount does a really good job at securing my phone on the rough ride to work.

This is not for me as my phone in itself is too heavy for this. I would recommend this to someone who doesn’t use a heavy case as well. The quality is amazing, the money is worth it and easy to use if you don’t have a heavy phone like me.

Bought for the simple and compact design. I have a normal size phone iPhone 13, not a plus or anything extremely large. Magnet is not strong enough to truly hold the phone in place. It does fine for smooth, flat roads without a lot of movement. Add some bumps or some curves and you start getting concerned that the phone will fall (which it does). I replaced the small disc with a larger metal plate, same issue.

Great option for medium to small phones. The magnet has a really strong hold. Sometimes a little too strong (my phone would bring the whole clip off when trying to remove it). This is better for use in summer months, as the clip has to be attached to the vent. I did however have to switch to another phone mount in the winter. The heat would overheat my phone. You could also just shut that vent, but I really like to blast my heat in the winter, especially with little humans in the back seat. Otherwise worked great.

It is a good product. I bought it for my Honda Accord and unfortunately the clip is not wide enough to clip on to the edge where you see the radio details. You can use it with the air vent area and I put mine by the left side of steering wheel air vent. It stays in place holding the phone even if drive through a bumpy area. Worked for me.

Holds iPhone 15pro although it has dropped off of it a couple of times during bumpy roads.
Maybe a better option for smaller phones. Wouldn't recommend for larger iphone pro max or android equivalents.

Great magnetic mount for vehicle. I would definitely recommend. Yet, I do have an issue with the magnet that adhere to the back 9f phone because its not that strong. I had to use a stronger adhesive to get it to stay but does work now.

I love the sleek design but it doesn’t hold my phone sturdy. To be fair, I have an iPhone XS Max. I think it’ll hold a smaller phone sturdier. If the magnet were stronger, I would’ve recommended this item.

Great for cars but not good for hostage rooms

Bought this to use in my hostage room so that the hostages could watch some videos on an old iPhone. I clipped it to some hooks I had in the walls there but the hostage's constant thrashing knocked it off the hooks.
I decided to use it in my car to hold my phone and clipped it to one of the vents and it works great. Not nearly as much thrashing going on in my car so it is FAR less likely to get knocked off the vent.
Simple and works great for intended purpose, which is cars, NOT hostage rooms.
