Nothing works as well as the Orbiter for making your phone secure. The clip is so much stronger than pressure applied rubber clasping methods, where so often when you pull on your phone the whole attachments comes off at the same time, very frustrating.
Not tested enough

The metal ring is too skinny and there's not enough 3M adhesive surface area. The ring fell off my phone case w/i a week from mounting/unmounting the phone on the magnet. The old style with the single metal circular disk was rock solid for years. I'm looking to melt or superglue the ring onto my case.

Thank you for the feedback, please do not super glue or melt the ring to your phone case. The metal ring goes on the charger as shown in the product picture. The Orbiter Plus Magnetic Socket is specially designed to align with the magnets inside MagSafe iPhones, and cases, connecting right onto the back of your phone. Just double check to make sure your case is MagSafe compatible and you should be all set. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@niteize.com.

For the solid metal ball on the dash we purchased, we expecting this orbiter to securely attach with the magnet and needless to say it does not. My phone falls off the ball more often than it is secured. The magnet does not have a strong hold at all. A bit of a disappointing purchase.

I bought this about a month ago and I love it! It’s so easy to pop in and out of the car when I’m running around town. Just need a way to purchase additional metal rings. I drive a semi and sometimes the truck bounces pretty good, so I need the additional strength to keep from bouncing off. I highly recommend this product, and it works with ALL the various mounts they sell.
Doesn't work for me!

I wished I read the other reviews here before buying. The magnet sticks great. However, it must have some effect on the charging of the MagSafe as it stops charging as soon as it’s connected. Very annoyed. Buyer beware!!

Been a steroid user for years. Bought this for my new iPhone. Does NOT work with a MagSafe charger. Added ring seems to interfere with charging ability. Great standalone cell phone holder. Terrible MagSafe charging compatibility:(

MagSafe charger doesn’t work

The mount works great, no slippage or anything and I would absolutely love it except, when you have the MagSafe charger on the steelie mount, it won’t charge! This is a serious flaw and renders this product a complete waste. Basically, if you have a MagSafe charger on a magnetic mount, it disrupts charging. I did some research to try and figure out a solution, and the solution is that you CANNOT mount a MagSafe charger on a magnetic mount. Nite Ize needs to discontinue this product because it does not work, period. Very disappointing.

Solid mount, does not magsafe charge

First, I like this mount. I want to love this mount. I am a huge MagSafe adopter. It's sweet tech. My current setup is an iP14Pro in a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag case. I attached the metal ring to the back of my magsafe charger (NOT the case) and when I attach the charger to the orbiter, charging stops.. I remove the charger from the socket, charging resumes, so there is an issue when attaching the black orbiter to the magnetic socket. SUCKS, because the main purpose was to charge my phone via magsafe while driving, but, it does still work as a solid mount.
Nothing compares

Love how well it works with Apple products! I previously had the metal arm and stick-on magnets with my Android device, and recently switched to iOS but wanted to keep the metal arm attachment. So glad I found this set and can't wait to see how the charger works with it!
Love

I think these are the Best! I had the smaller one and now with the new phone I have the larger magnet and I love this. It was just what I was looking for. I am able to move my phone around in all kinds of positions. It never falls off. It’s a strong magnet. Thank you.
strong magnet, holds phone just fine on mount

works just as advertised. using it with the apple magsafe charger. only con is my 13 pro max causes the ring to slide down, so you have to continuously push it back up so it doesn't face down
Great!
