iOttie Auto Sense Qi Wireless Car Charger - Automatic Clamping Wireless Charging CD Slot & Air Vent Phone Mount Combo for Google Pixel, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, LG, and other Smartphones

This is one of the better quality phone mounts that I have seen or used. It is definitely a bit expensive compared to most other car phone mounts, and this is the first time I decided to go with a mount with built in wireless charging and I was not disappointed. I'm using the dashboard/windshield mounting version of the product. Other mounts of this style that I have used in the past usually end up having some free play in the suction cup base or in the pivoting joints that let the phone and the whole arm flop and bounce around a bit especially when trying to use your phone while driving on rougher roads which can be irritating to say the least. This iOttie mount on the other hand is very solid, using the plastic dashboard mounting pad this thing is firmly attached to my dash and with all the picots tightened down snuggly my phone down not move around at all even on the roughest of PA roads making it very easy and safe to using while driving. It's only been a week so far but the adhesive on the dash mounting pad and the suction cup base is very strong and stays firmly in place even on hot summer days when the inside of the car is like a sauna. The arm on the mount is extendable however it does not extend quite as far as others of this type I have used previously, although it is still long enough to be used comfortably. The charging cord that it came with was long enough to reach from the mount on the dash and into the power outlet in my center console while routing the wire our of the way with cable management clips. This QI charger is able to fast wireless charge my Samsung S22 Ultra through an Otterbox defender series case with no issues at all. The bottom "foot" of the mount that the phone sits on is adjustable up and down for wireless charging, with it adjusted up for smaller phones my S22 Ultra still fit in the mount perfectly fine but it did not start charging like it should so make sure to have that set up correctly for whatever size phone/case you have. The back of my phone does get a little hot from this charger compared to my usual Samsung wireless charging pad, I am hoping that does jot become an issue in the future. I am still a little skeptical about the auto open/close, it opens and closes flawlessly like it should and gets a really firm grip on my phone when closing on it. I actually think it is very cool but am not sure how the open/close mechanism will hold up say a year or 2 from now but only time will tell. Overall this is the best phone mount I've used so far and I think for convinience and comfort alone it is worth the price.

Works great but had to use my own 12v power adapter as the one that came with it did not work. I also swapped out the cord that came with it for a fast charging cable and it charges pretty decently. I like how it auto clamps the phone. Best phone mount I’ve ever had

I gave one of the predecessors of this a five-star review. It didn't have Qi fast wireless charging, but the clamp was the best design I had ever used or seen. With just a bit of practice, it was extremely easy to use and held the phone securely. My wife's Samsung S9 had problems with overheating, so she didn't even connect the wireless charger. My S10 did fine with the wireless charging. When I upgraded to a S22+, on long trips, I had problems with (a) my phone not charging, and (b) my phone overheating and randomly rebooting during the trip. I decided to upgrade to this model (a) to get Qi wireless fast charging (which I hope will help with charging on long trips) and the improved air cooling (which I hope will help with the overheating issue). I was so happy with the hand-operated clamp that I didn't need an upgrade for that. But... I HATE the automatic clamping. You can't open or close the clamp unless you have started the car. So my putting the phone in the holder before I start the car, and taking it out after I shut off the car, which are my usual habits, didn't work. At least until I plugged it into an always-on cigarette-lighter socket which I have in the front of my vehicle. But then it may drain the battery if I don't drive the vehicle for a long time. And, even with the cellphone holder plugged into 12V power all the time – I still HATE IT. If you have a black case, which I do, you have to put a clear reflective sticker on the back of the phone so the holder will recognize that you're trying to put the phone in the holder. AND get it in just the right place on the back of your phone. AND hold it at just the right angle for the holder to recognize that you're trying to put the phone in the holder. AND wait for the clamp to slowly open. All this hassle because iOttie engineers wanted to fix something that WASN'T BROKEN and was a marvel of engineering. I suppose that if you had a crippled hand that couldn't operate the original clamp this might be nice. On the other hand [sic], if your hand is that crippled, how can you operate the steering wheel? I have given up on this and ordered an iOttie phone holder with Qi fast wireless charging but the old, and to my mind much superior, mechanical clamp. I will review it after using it on a long trip.

I gotta say, this iOttie Auto Sense 2 phone holder is a lifesaver for anyone who spends a lot of time in the car. The best part? It automatically clamps around my phone when I place it in the holder—no more fussing with trying to lock it in while I’m driving. Plus, it’s super versatile since it can go on either the dash or the windshield, which is great if you like switching things up.The wireless charging is a huge win, especially when I’m running low on battery during long drives. I just drop my phone in, and it starts charging without me even thinking about it. It’s Qi-compatible, so it works like a charm with my iPhone and would work with most other major brands, too—Google, Samsung, you name it.The only downside is that the power adapter isn’t included, so make sure you have one handy or plan to pick one up separately. Other than that, this thing holds my phone super securely, even on bumpy roads. It’s sturdy, well-built, and definitely worth the price if you want a hassle-free mount and charger all in one.
