Hands down the best upgrade I have made to my car! The Steelie Dash Mount is perfect-it holds the phone securely, and at any angle. I have been using the first version of this dash mount for over a year in my car, and now we have the new, updated version for my wife’s car. This updated version has a larger base so there’s more surface for adhesion.

This updated version has a larger base so there’s more surface for adhesion.
The phone side of the mount is new and improved as well. It has a super-slim metal plate that mounts to my phone. The magnetic cupped mount that has always lived on my phone can now stay behind in my car when I prefer. Extra plates on different phones and cases means I can use multiple phones with my Steelie and not need a new “socket” side each time.
There is nothing that is not to like about this dash mount. It is inconspicuous when not in use, so there’s no large pad sticking out of my dash. I am a huge Steelie fan, and have many of their pieces, both in my home and our cars.

I just got the same one several days ago. Dang, I wished I bought one a whole lot sooner. This model is better than I could have ever expected. Can't see myself EVER going back to those clamp style holders. Also like the bigger metal that sticks to the phone that allows me to position the phone a bit more to one side or the other or up and down more. The plus cell phone I have never falls off or moves on the rotation ball on its own. What a great invention.

I bought two of the vent mount versions. Both of them failed. Pulling the phone off almost always results it the grip on the slipping off. If I tried to tighten them down, the little pivot bar bends and will break. The manger is very strong but the vent Mount sucks bad.

We've had good success with our vent mount versions on Toyotas--a Sienna and a Corolla and I finally lost the last one I had in a Highlander when I forgot to grab it before turning in the rental. I had to use the clip near the bottom of the vent so the weight would rest on the bottom of the vent. When I pull it off the magnet, on all of our mounts, I pull up and then off to help break the magnetic attraction.

I got the original, but after watching this I kind of wish I'd got the orbiter. Can I still be considered cool with the original?

I read your comment at a red light with my phone on the mount in the video. Never have changed out the magnet or mount. I have added more mounts--I travel with the suction cup one for my rental cars. I did two business trips without my mount and I was lost the entire time, fumbling with my phone. Now, the suction cup windshield mount travels with me in my carry on so I can get from the airport to where I'm going without opening my luggage if I checked a suitcase or tool box.

@@rbronco21 The iPad-rated one would surely work in the car, but the angle it's held at on the ball would move. The iPad wouldn't fall off, though. The same thing happens with my phone--the angle won't necessarily hold, but I'm never worried it would fall off.

So if you have a MagSafe case on your phone, you don’t need the metal disc on the phone the case will stick to the magnetic disk that fastens to the steely ball, correct?

Great question! I don't know--I'm using the smaller original magnet on my phone using double-sided tape. This one ended up on the back of one of the kids' iPad for wall-mounting for Facetime with family. I think that one is double-sided taped as well.

Can you use a wireless charger when the thin metal plate is on the back of your phone case Or does the metal plate prevent a good connection?

Hello does the magnet work if you place it behind the case?
@DavePR
@DavePR 3 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't think so--the magnet is cupped, and that red dot in the middle is rubber to give friction when it's on the ball mount in the car to hold it at whatever angle you want. I just got a new phone and put this on today because I have desperately missed it the last few days--I'm delighted to have it on my new phone, and it'll be so much safer to drive now since I use it for navigation.

They include a sticker to make a smooth spot. I use the AC bezel in one car, and the piano-black trim on a different car, then a friend uses the ac vent mount, and I bring the suction cup windshield mount when I travel and rent a car.

Nope. Just use a piece of dental floss to cut the adhesive pad and then peel the sticky off your dash. We've done it with our Toyota van.
