Cellphone holder
 
Hey guys, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on this cellphone holder called the imagnet but before doing so, I though I'd ask around if there are better mounts than this. Thanks...

I have something like this. I bought the Scosche one. It's great, but the problem is you have to stick some little metallic plate on the back of the phone to get it to attach to the mount. Gets kind of annoying. You can also stick the metallic plate to a phone case which you'll need every time you want to use the mount.

I've seen one of these and I'm not sure it would hold the phone during hard driving (but I'm talking seriously hard driving here, not like a brisk Sunday cruise, I'm talking about pulling 1g under braking or through corners) but other than that it's awesome how simple it is, just slap the phone on there, no cradles to muss with or things to adjust.

You're better off sticking the magnet in your case. But, hey, nothing's perfect right? Just don't drive really quickly lol

I have this mount, and I stuck the metal plate to the phone but I have blue painters tape in between the plate and the phone. It holds well for hard driving and it's great because the suction cup has a sticky ring that conforms to non porous surfaces. I have an iPhone 6+ if it helps!

Thanks for the advice guys... decided to go with it and so far, I haven't had problems with it.

I have an imagnet and yeah, it works alright. It's a pop and go affair with this one.

I have the beatsonic mount and really like it

I have it and it works great for my I phone 6 plus.

I use the imagnet one with a Note 3. I was actually able to tape the metal disc to the battery with some scotch tape and put the cover back on. Works great even on pothole ridden NYC streets.

And yet, no problems in 2 years of use. No interference with the phone, BT, or data connections. I have had my phone running Waze, navigation, YaV1 and talking to someone via BT through my HU.

The imagnet is actually pretty popular on the phone forums as well so any issues would have been caught by now.
