Reddit reviews iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger for for iPhone X, 8/8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S9 S9 Plus S8, S7/S7 Edge, Note 8 5 & Qi Enabled Devices

They make them, but not for big phones. Been looking for one. Probably going to go with a windshield one again, I used an older version when I had a Note and it worked great. Still use it with my 6+ and just plug the phone in to charge.

Right. Got a bit carried away there.

If you've got wireless charging, the iOttie Qi One Touch mount is fantastic.

I have also been wondering this. Currently on my note 3 I use the Spigen magnetic mount and enjoy not having to fight with a mount.

Now I have my note 8 I'm looking forward to using wireless and I know that the magnetic plate will interfere with the charge process. I came across this iOttie however it doesn't support fast charge and its £65 from amazon which is a lot more than I'd be willing to pay. I discovered they have this model coming soon, I think we are both looking for a similar solution. The only other thing that slightly annoys me is that they both use micro USB rather than type C.

I've used this dock before and worked well: https://smile.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Edit: Found their newer version which is magnetic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm9LmmGoZ6M

So what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Wouldn't it be impractical?

IMO, GoPro is not a good choice for this. Cell phones are a better choice if you have a way to mount it or prop it up somewhere. A cell phone will capture amazing audio as long as you can get it close. If you can use more than one camera (cell phone if needed) at a time, stitching and editing the video together can be very useful. Put them in airplane mode to avoid accidental upload, pull the video off of them via USB cable, and delete original before turning off airplane mode. I highly recommend the camera and lens I have below, because they are so useful outside of the bedroom for family or activity stuff. Kind of pricey.

I use three devices at the same time: cell phone, video camera, and microphone. Here is a few links from a recent comment:

>Her view is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 running a Sigma 350963 60mm F2.8 DN mounted to a GFM MK-1 tripod behind the bed.

>His view, seen in the rest of the gifs (NSFW!), is on a microphone stand held in place by bags of rock salt inside custom bags, and the other end is adorned with a GPS bicycle mount, which uses the Gamin ball diameter that I've standardized on for over ten years. On the ball is a iOttie phone dock, and clipped in the mount is a Galaxy S7 International running in pro video mode.

You can see our home (sexy) tapes here (very NSFW), feel free to ask any questions. I use Adobe Premiere to edit them.

I've been using this one lately but swapped out the holder for a CD-slot mount from another car dock. It's the smallest one on the market and works great. :)

Previously I had this one which actually had a better one-handed removal mount but just wanted to switch to something a little more compact now that I'm using a CD-slot dock and don't want to cover as much of my vehicle's touchscreen. Both are great options however depending what you want.

iOttie's qi mount is the good stuff. I use Waze for my 1hr commute to and from work, and it'll trickle charge enough that the battery drain is minimal.

Not OP, but this is the one I use in my car for my Nexus 6. Only problem with it was I had to use the micro USB to cigarette lighter cable that came with it and it's a little short. I bought one of these to make up the difference.

I had this for my GS6 (it includes wireless charging which obviously I no longer use) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The one click in and easy out is the most wonderful thing. Highly reccommend any of their mounts. Definitely worth the price.

Edit: Don't waste your money on this one since you don't need the wireless charging, but go with the brand

I use this qi charger in my car with the N6. It's more than sufficient to keep the phone running maps and music/podcasts without losing charge. Admittedly, if I get into the car with low battery it won't pick up much charge if I'm using it. It'll charge if I turn the screen off, so at least there's that.

For convenience factor, though, I love it. Just press the phone into the dock and it's charging and right in my eyeline while driving. When ready to get out just squeeze the release and it pops into my hand.

Also here is my wireless car dock

I have a Proclip and used it for years with great success.

However, just a few months ago, I decided to give this mount a try. I chose it because of the wireless charging capability. I wasn't sure if I'd like having it stuck to my dash and blocking my line of sight but I was able to position the arm in such a way that it works well.

I'm really loving the wireless charging iOttie mount I got about a year ago. They're not magnetic, but the way they operate is almost as convenient. Putting the phone in the mount or removing it is almost instant and can easily be done one-handed.

It is incredibly convenient to just be able to drop the phone into the mount and go without any cable fuss. It used to be that if I was just running in for a minute (such as at a gas station) I'd often leave my phone in the car just to not have to unplug and replug it. That is a thing of the past now. I can get in and out of the car repeatedly, always take my phone with me, and have no hassle/delay of cable connections.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958

When I have the screen always on running Google Maps and bluetooth playing music, the wireless charging is slow and roughly break-even during the day when auto-brightness is at max. Sometimes it is up a little, sometimes down a little. But, the end result is that I can start a trip at 90% and drive all day and after hours of driving I might be at something like 89% so not exactly a big problem even for all-day trips. At night, when auto-brightness dims the screen and Google Maps goes into night mode, it charges slowly. With the screen off (day or night) it charges at a reasonable speed.

What if I am in a situation where break-even or slow charging isn't good enough? I have a Quick Charge adapter already plugged into the car with the cable sitting right below the mount. So, I do have fast charging available (with the hassle of plugging a cable in) on those rare occasions when I need it, and the convenience of wireless charging during the other 99% of the time. It's the best of both words.

It's a little expensive, but I got this one, just watch out using the provided extra "pad", it's glue and will stay on permanently, I use just the suction cup and it only falls off once or twice a year when the temperature is over 90F.

Like the other commenter, I only have a Commuter case. This case is flawless. I bet it could fit a Defender.

This is what I use, and it works great.

https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Only caveats are if it's hot outside the phone can get SUPER hot. Generally I don't have any issues, but on 80*F+ days I usually unplug the charger.

Also, I don't expect the wireless charging to charge fast, so when I actually need fast charging I just move the cable from the dock to the phone.

These are issues with any wireless chargers, not just the iOttie.

You can't use both - you either use that metal plate on the back OR the wireless charging. Metal completely blocks the electromagnetic field that current version of wireless charging uses.

If you really want to use the phone mounted somewhere on dashboard (which I personally never do) - you can try something like this instead of magnetic mounts:
https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Or, like you said, just give up on wireless charging altogether.

Where would you like the mount? Suction cupped to the windshield? Clipped in the vent? Adhered to the dashboard? I personally like phone mounts that adhere to the dashboard. Is your dashboard hard plastic or is it soft vinyl? If it is vinyl, you would need a vent or windshield mount.

I used the old version of this mount for many years. It didn't have wireless charging at the time. It was a solid, robust mount. It didn't feel cheap and flimsy like most mounts. I recommend it.

Only one I can really think of that's wireless is

Have we already covered fast charging Qi chargers that work best for the the iPhone yet? Sifting through amazon is a bit exhausting.

Sorry for the format but here are the Qi chargers I have:

By far the spigen one is the best and sits on my night stand. Chargers 35-40% in 1hr.

I have this one, and it works great for me in landscape.

The first mount I ever liked was the iOttie Easy One Touch XL:

When they came out with the iOttie HLCRIO132 Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958
I jumped at it, and haven't looked back since! I love not having to fiddle around with the cable every time I want to charge the phone.

Here are a few pics since you requested:
How it looks from where I sit,

still under the line of the dashboard and windshield, from where I sit, does not block any visibility through windshield.

This is what I mean about the top surface above the screen, the cups from the Iotties fit perfectly:

Let me know if you need any more pics.

My Charging Solution:

USB Micro (grumble grumble, upgrade to C already!), USB-C, and Qi.

I have Qi chargers in various fixed places and just set the phone there as i enter and pick it up as I leave. I have one in my car for when i'm driving.

Pixel 2 XL has a C port, but I've replaced it for normal usage with a Qi pad on the back of the phone, which fits nicely inside the case. If I leave it off the charger entirely, I get >2 days. (Grumble Grumble Nexus line has Qi but Pixel line doesn't...)

Various devices on MicroUSB - Headset, speakers, keyboards, nearly every non-computer device that charges. Most of these devices can be pre-charged for weekend travel.

Pebble has a custom cable from USB A, but lasts ~4 days, so I can pre-charge for most weekend travel.

I have a power bank with 2 USB A ports and a USB C port, and Qi on the front face. It can also pass through power from either of it's input ports to any output.

I don't tend to do much computing when I travel, so I'm mostly down to the phone and it's cluster of peripherals. I don't currently have a laptop, but often borrow my dad's for travel, and it has a unique (Lenovo) charger.

For a day: I just take my devices.

For a weekend: I take the Qi battery pack.

For a heavy-usage weekend/longer: Qi battery back, USB C<->C cable, USB C wall charger (so far only travel within US, so that's easy...), USB A<->USB Micro. For longer than a weekend, Pebble cable.

In the future the watch will probably be Qi also, and I could see a lot of devices with sufficient surface area going Qi, and the rest going USB-C. IMHO, the solution to charging cables is to get rid of them all, in favor of ubiquitous wireless power.

Edit: Oh, and Apple is adopting Qi too, so it's going to be a standard on both sides!

Very happy with my Note 8. Got the Unlocked from Samsung directly:

Galaxy Note8 64GB (Unlocked)

Added 256GB SD card and this case:

Ztotop Armor Shield Shockproof Rugged Protective Case with Kickstand for Samsung Galaxy Note8 (2017) - Black / Black

Been using this wireless charger at home:

Spigen Essential F300W Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad with 3 Coils

And these in my vehicles:

iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger

The case works with both wireless chargers. I've had the phone for a couple of months and never needed to plug it in to charge. Battery has never gone below 40%, but I have no idea if I am above or below the average when it comes to using it. I use it extensively for reading, taking notes, and listening to music (via Bluetooth headphones). I take occasional pictures, which have come out really nice, and a couple of long videos.

Been very happy with the purchase, since I got $400 off the purchase price as a former Note 7 owner (turned in an old Galaxy S5). Because of that, I don't have contract to worry about, and since it's unlocked, I can switch carriers if I want to.

I use iOttie HLCRIO132 which has wireless charging (I used to have note5 )

Here is the link
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXS7958/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_awd_x_PUKiybJBAP1PP

For the app, yes it does delete old videos automatically if that's what you mean by looping. It also does background recording so i just make it record in the background while using my phone normally.

I'm very specific about car docks and I'd definitely recommend this one.

I've been using it for a few months now in my Altima and it is BY FAR the best dock I've ever used. It's extremely simple to dock and remove your phone with one hand, the build quality is very good, configuring it to almost any angle is possible, the suction is strong, and best of all it has built in wireless charging (though I removed the wireless charging component in it and modified the mount to have a fast wireless charger instead).

There's also the non-wireless charging model for much cheaper, which is still a good item. My wife has it in her car and I've only used it a few times, but I feel that the dock is a little more shaky than the other one, maybe because there's less plastic because of the lack of wireless charging components.

I have a solid mounting solution for my car that sits nicely out of the way and still accessible. Took a few tries, but settled on this combination:

iottie QI charger, connected to a ram mount ball, mounted to my dash via proclip.

Is this what you're thinking you want? I guess it's not necessarily magnetic, but I have the non-Qi version and it does a fantastic job of holding onto my phone.

The issue with the iOttie is that it is not fast wireless charging, but they do have a new version out.

I replaced my iOttie https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958/


with this one - dodocool Qi Wireless Charger 10W 3-coil Fast Wireless Charging Car Mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XD7WJDL/


The dodocool has a goofy name but works well. It is able to charge my phone while using Spotify and Google Maps at the same time. FYI Waze does seem to use a bit more juice than Google Maps.

Also, I like how it has the vent clip style mount included as I never have had any luck with the suction cup base mounts staying put after a hot day.

As I was going through your requirements, I thought of my iOttie, until I got to wireless charging, but it looks like they have a wireless version.

From car.

I don't use the sticky pad they provide as I haven't felt the need to, sucks pretty hard.

This is what I have. It expands and should work with most cases. You can pair it with a cupholder base (mine is Charger City).

I know it's not magnetic but I love my iottie wireless charging dock.

I have several of this car mount/wireless charger. They worked great on my Nexus 6. Unfortunately I got a different phone without wireless charging so I cannot use that part of it. It is very convenient to just put it in and not have to worry about plugging in the charging cable. The suction cup sticks well, even to a textured dashboard.

You can also get wireless charging mounts that clamp to the phone instead of using a magnetic plate. I found this one on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXS7958/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ut0-zbX7V1TM9

It includes a video showing how it works, and it even rotates! I want that so bad.

I understand the frustration, but I've had a great experience with this guy. Use it every day and haven't had any problems.
