" ... I have been using a Pitaka Mount and Case for over a year. ... "
" ... I now own the PITAKA MagMount Qi , and the original standard MagMount for some of my vehicles’ air vents. ... For as long as I have had the Standard MagMount I’ve never had an issue with its firm hold on my phone to the PITAKA cases. ... My “go to” case primarily for the extra protection and grip in the work world is still the MagCase Pro, however when I’m stepping out I must confess that I swap over to my new updated MagCase because of the ease and excellent protection when slipping in and out of shirt, jacket, and dress pants pockets. ... "
" ... One thing that would be an excellent change to this product - would be to make the "ball" part of the vent clip, larger in size so that it matches that of industry standards. ... "
" ... Best car mount for a cellphone ever ... "
" ... Clips into heater vent. ... "
" ... I liked the design of the charger and their case with the embedded metal/magnets. ... "
" ... Probably the best mount I have ever owned . ... This mount paired with any of their cases is amazing . ... "
" ... I bought this to go with the pitaka phone case and they work great together. ... I did use this together with the base from the WizGear Universal Stick on Dash magnetic mount because I prefer to stick this to the dash (vs clipping it on the vent, which my particular vehicle did not have compatible vents). ... Super convenient at pit stops to be able to just slide the phone off the magnets instead of plugging it in! ... "

" ... I did a few days of research once I made up my mind to buy a Magnetic Mount with Wireless Charging for my car. ... (a) PITAKA New Magnetic Wireless Charging Windshield Car Mount[Suction Cup Magmount Qi]-Premium Luxury 360 Degree Rotation Fast Charge Suction Cup Phone Holder for Qi Smartphones (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HQG4T2P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) ...

What I found is that the Pitaka magnetic mount wireless charger works best with the Pitaka case. ... The magnet was very strong and the charging was great. ... In most cases I got a decent hold from the magnet and the charging was good irrespective of the case as long as the metal plates were placed correctly. ... If you're getting charger and the case - I recommend Pitaka charger and case combo - quality is good, works perfectly with their Pitaka case and the fan noise is almost non-existent compared to the iOttie charger I have. ...

" ... This product was great until it literally fell apart. ... "
