Nite IzeSteelie Vent Kit - Magnetic Cell Phone Holder for Car Vents - Phone Mount - Orbiter Plus

I like many folks here think very highly of Steelie products. So much so that when I need to travel, I feel out of sorts when I have to drive a rental car. While I'm not comfortable with the level of dependency I've built up with this brand, imagine my sheer joy when Steelie launched a portable mount that I could move from car to car.This vent mount is perfect for that being that it's portable, sturdy, and the clamp works great. However- I, like others, noticed that my phone was too heavy to stay in position. Bumps in the road would cause it to shift in position. Others here are concerned about the magnet not being strong enough to hold up the phone. I challenged this presumption because I believe the magnet is plenty strong for this purpose, otherwise the phone would have fallen off. Instead, I came to the hypothesis that Steelie is SO GOOD, that the ball mount is just too polished and therefore lacks friction.SOLUTION: I bought a roll of clear gift wrapping tape and put a piece of tape over the ball, therefore increasing the friction quotient just slightly while not impacting the connectivity of the magnet. No more sliding! Even when I hit bumps in the road, it stays perfectly in place.Perhaps in the future Steelie can include a small 3M dot or something to address this issue. But in the meantime, this will do. Great product, will buy again and again. Because I need to.

I opened the package today! I really like the effort put into the construction of this design. At 1st I thought the orbiter design, with double magnets would fight each other when I dismount the device from the placement of my steelie ball on the vent of my car. But, it works great! When I pivot the device around the ball everything works like you think and holds firm in every direction. Take note of the placement of the sticker magnet on the back of the device case.....most people would want this attached just off center one way or the other in the long direction of the device as to help with orientation for different angles. Centering the magnet works great too! I like mine just off center favoring the topside of the device.

This item really works. The magnet is very strong holding . Got this as i have a loopy case (brand name) and had a hard time finding anything that would work with this case and this one works! I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ so not a small phone but was able to handle the weight of the phone just fine. Ordered a extra magnet to put on the back of my husbands I phone case which is a leather foldable cover that way he is able to use the mount in my car . This is a win win for both of us! I highly recommend especially for any of you Loopy case lovers out there!

I love the Steelies. This is probably the worst one, but still better than any other vent mounting system I have seen. Youre still better off mounting the ball to your dash with the normal adhesion but if that is not an option, this can still provide at least a reasonable mounting experience.It will occasionally fall off the mount, especially when going over bumps with a heavy phone, but again, it holds better than any other vent mounts I have used.

I love this thing! I wish I had found it sooner. I’ve wasted so much money on other products looking for the right one when this was it all along! I chose the vent style since I already have a dash style. It was supposed to replace the phone mount however with the super magnetic backer for my phone, I love the adjustability, I can move it from vehicle to vehicle with ease. This is a must get! Not to mention the value! and magnet strength!

Really good

I purchased more than four of these product very good different styles but the same result very good recommended for anyone if you want to support your phone while you're driving without having to sweat the details real easy to detach easy to connect five star every time

It pains me to write this review. Because I have had steelie brand accessories for years. I never have a new phone, without putting a steelie magnet on the back. I have a mount in my work truck. My car, even on my refrigerator for when I’m reading recipes. But I started using multiple vehicles at work, and needed something I could move from vehicle to vehicle quickly. The problem is that it is too heavy with the phone in it, and it just always ends up pointing down to the floor where I can’t see it for my GPS. I tried every single set up I could do to get it to work, it’s just not strong enough. I even tried using just the vent clip, same issue. As I’ve said. I love steelie products. You can check my orders, I’ve been buying them for years. This one was just a miss.
