Reddit reviews SCOSCHE MAGWDM MagicMount Magnetic Suction Cup Mount for Mobile Devices

I use this magnetic mount

Its the only mount I will ever use, no stupid clips or anything. It just works

Don't chase the heat on the map, you'll get burned every time. Even being in an area that's lit up does NOT mean you'll get a ride.

I give pax 5 minutes if I can't contact them, then, I cancel and move on.

Personally, I keep my car stocked with water (40 pack at Sam's Club for $~$3.00), and I have multiple charging cables for pax (links below). My charging cables for the rear pax are plugged in inside my armrest, so it's virtually impossible for them to be stolen.

After I verify the pax, I give them a friendly greeting, the ask them how their day is going. After that, I wait for them to continue conversation, if they choose to do so. About half of my pax don't say anything the whole ride, and I won't force them to, it's totally ok with me. If they want to talk, I'll engage in convo.

You'll learn over time when and where are the best times and places to get rides. For me here in Phoenix, it early AM, like 4ish till 9ish during the week, and weekend evenings.

I've been driving for 3+ years, and I have 2,000+ Lyft rides, and 1,500+ Uber rides. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Having the magnetic phone mount and charging cable allows me to quickly exit without messing with a clipped in phone and unplugging a cable, just grab and go.

I use this one.

If you're looking for a car mount, I use one of these in my car. Good hold, but worth noting I'm not using a case. Magnetic hold is strong enough for when I'm driving, but due to where I mounted it, putting the car in park can knock it off accidentally.

agreed. I just got this one: [Amazon LINK] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9I8WGY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and use it with my iPhone 7+ and the metal plate I affixed to my iPhone.

question regarding magnet phone holders. It will hold the Galaxy S8 without the metal plate because of the wireless charging "maget" or "metal" built into the phone?

Might be the pro series, I'm not really sure. It's really similar to the one you just posted, except it has a more adjustable mounting platform.

Edit: it's this one https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00I9I8WGY/ref=pd_aw_sbs_2?pi=SL500_SS115

One option you may consider is using your cell phone as a dash cam. There are several apps out there, for instance:

and you can use a mount like this:

One shortcoming of most phones' built-in cameras is that they are not very wide-angle, like most of those dash cams.

Another option is the Garmin Virb Elite action camera. It has built-in GPS (and cool data logging) so it can be setup to auto start/stop recording when you start moving, and loop recording lets it record indefinitely as long as it has power, overwriting the oldest data as needed.

I have this one and absolutely love it:

SCOSCHE MOUNT

After buying that, I bought this:

iOttie DashPad

so now I can place my mount anywhere in the car I want, even on textured dashboard surfaces. I can't speak from experience, but I always worry about adding weight to the air vents in the car. For one, you lose the quality of airflow in the car. 2nd I don't trust that it won't break one of the vents. The magnet works incredibly well though. I don't have a case on my phone and have the magnet tucked inside of the battery cover and haven't had any issues. The ONLY time the phone has left the mount was when I was in a pretty bad car accident a few months back. So as long as you don't go from 40mph to 0 in less than a second, this mount works great ;-)

I have one of these in the bottom left corner of my windshield, works pretty well. If it's not high enough I tend to accidentally knock the phone off of it when reaching for my turn signal. (2003 Ranger)

I've used this since 2014, and I love it!

I've been using a Scosche Magic Mount magnetic mount for a year and a half, and I've been 100% satisfied. I stick the metal plate on the inside of my TPU case (with tissue paper over it so the edges won't scratch the phone). It works great and doesn't interfere with NFC. I don't see myself ever going back to one of those that grips the phone. It's just too easy this way. Portrait or landscape, no problem. Stick it up, pull it off, couldn't be easier.

I use this in the top left corner of the wind shield. I drive about 25k a year so I need something easy to use while driving. I don't charge my phone in the car though. My s8 can last all day.
