Koomus Pro CD-M CD Slot Magnetic Cradle-less Smartphone Car Mount Holder for all iPhone and Android Devices, Single , Black

This is perfect for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, which is larger and heavier than most phones. I use 2 magnets on the back of my phone (between my phone and case), so I don't have to worry that my phone will fall when I rotate it horizontally. I love that it doesn't block the ac vent and since I never use the c.d. player, it's the perfect place for me. I am ordering another one for my husband's new car and realized I've had mine since January 2019. I was shocked that it's been nearly 4 years and it still works perfectly, so I had to write a review. Amazing product!!

It has great suction. I was surprised. Cane with an extra magnet but I'll soon need more. Wondering where I can buy them. Will check Amazon of course! 😃

I had one of these since 2014. It fit in the car CD slot rock-solid and held the phone on like glue.After 5 or 6 years, the ball broke off at the joint. I tried a different solutions to replace it, didn't like any of them, so I re-ordered this one.I no longer have the old one around for reference, but, whatever it is that changed in the newer model did so for the worse.The mount no longer 'grabs' in the CD slot and can pull right out with no resistance. Also, the magnet on the mount is nowhere near the strength of the prior model. The prior would hold with the plates inside of a dual-layer Otterbox, while this new one hardly even grips through a much thinner phone case.This WAS a five-star product and a fantastic, compact, CD slot phone holder, but not anymore.Will most likely be returning it and going back to the drawing board on this.

I bought it for my sister’s car and she did not like how it fit in there it didn’t fit right for her.

The first one of these I ordered worked very well and the magnet was super strong. It broke after a few years at the joint and I ordered a new one, and the ad said it was the same product. This one seems to be made sightly different and wiggles a lot more in the CD slot. Plus, the magnet is not as strong as the last one so my phone wiggles off in my Jeep, even on main roads. I tried shipping it back as defective since it's not working like the old one did and Amazon wanted me to travel to ship it back instead of sending UPS to my door to pick it back up like they used to. Why should I go out of my way "for free" when gas isn't free and I don't have a nearby, convenient UPS place? All to return a defective product? I don't think so. All I wanted to do was exchange for for another one hoping it will work as advertised.**UPDATE** Via Amazon chat, I was able to get a rep to send an RMA for the return with UPS coming to my door for pickup. The replacement should be here today.

Amazing.

In my quest to find a good way to hold my phone while driving, I tried this CD slot holder. I've also tried cup holder solutions and vent clips and I think that vent clips are the best option with the fewest compromises, cd slot holders are a distant second but may be a good option in specific cases.I recognize that a CD slot phone holder may work well for some situations, and I thought this would work for me, so I gave it a try. 3 weeks later, I think I can share my experiences.This cd slot holder from Koomus is one of 2 cd slot solutions that I bought to try, the other having a wide slot and screw tensioner. I like the cleaner design of the Koomus Pro but I found that in my VW Passat with the RNS-510 navigation head unit, the cd slot opening was too thin for the Koomus, resulting in this cd slot holder forcing the plastic trim around the slot (where it was inserted) to bend outward to accommodate it. The bending wasn't huge and as far as I can tell, there's no permanent damage, but I wouldn't be surprised to find a crack in the slot trim if I left this in there for a long time. The problem appears to be the tongues that insert into the slot, they are too thick for the slot on this nav unit. In addition, the spring tension on the tongues (which is definitely a cleaner solution than the screw tensioners of other brands), forcing the tongues open to hold the mount in place in the slot, just adds to the situation. I also found it very difficult to insert into the CD slot on my Jeep Wrangler (no nav, just a basic satellite radio/CD setup). I should point out that on our Buick Enclave with nav and the backup camera, the CD slot opening is taller and this deflection of the slot is not a problem. So it will vary from slot to slot, depending on which head unit your vehicle has.There is one more serious consideration about CD slot holders in general, and that's with visibility of the nav screen. Many nav screens also display the backup camera feed. With a phone on the mount in the CD slot, the screen may be partly or fully blocked. This was my situation with my Note 4 phone (yes it's a larger phone like the iPhone 6S and many others now). I needed to remove the phone from the holder to see the screen when I went into reverse. Obviously this isn't a problem if you don't have a reverse camera or the slot and screen aren't close together, but 3 of my cars do have this concern, and in all 3, a CD slot mount solutions block the screen with the phone. It's for this reason I think a vent mount is a better option, but your situation could be different from mine.A few last thoughts about the design of the Koomus Pro. While I really like the narrower design of the area where the tongues insert into the slot and the spring tensioner, I don't think it has as much stability as the wider options of the slot holders with the screw type tensioner. My phone bounces around more with this holder than with the other ones I have and I find that distracting. However, even with the extra bounce, the strong magnet in the head of the Koomus has never dropped my phone (I don't use the included metal plate since my phone has a wireless charging back. The metal plate interferes with wireless charging and there is enough metal in the wireless charging back that the phone can be held by the magnet with not other requirements!Overall, this cd slot holder works, but for my situation I wasn't willing to give up visibility of the reverse camera and I wasn't comfortable with the risk of damage to the plastic surround of the CD slot. The Koomus ooks nice and there is definitely thought put into the design, but the cars I have were probably not part of their test conditions so it makes me give it a 3 star recommendation with the guidance, YMMV.

Having tried a variety of suction holders (which have all fallen off at some point) and flirted with air vent holders (which are okay unless it is hot or cold and then the 'phone blocks them)........I thought I'd have a bash at this.It is really good.It fits easily and without fuss into my CD slot - it is really secure and doesn't move at all.The pack comes with two metal plates. I put BOTH (side-by-side) into the case of my Galaxy Note 9 - which is a BIG 'phone.The plates adhere to the magnet with ease - even through the 'phone case - and hold my BIG 'phone in place - removal of my 'phone is easy too if you lift and give a tiny twist :-)I throw my car around a bit and there hasn't even been a hint that my 'phone could fall off.A great product which I highly recommend.

It's the only phone holder that stays in place in Mercedes SLK R172. Vent holders are falling off due to the shape of vents. Tried that before. It fits nicely into CD Slot and it's far enough from buttons, so you can still press them. Obviously you can't see them any more but most drivers know what's where in their cars.Magnet is very strong, so I have to hold mount to remove the phone. Otherwise it would move in the CD slot.I suspect it may damage lining of CD Slot over time or change shape of it. But in this age we don't have to worry about CD players too much.--Update on 30/04/2018I removed the vent holder and lining of CD is damaged. I sold the car but I won't be mounting holder to another SLK. It's in too good condition to damage something in it. I will try to sell holder on Ebay now.

Yeh, surprisingly good. Has held the phone in place without issue.No need to permanently stick the metal plates (included), just tuck them into your phone case and they’ll do the job.

So far, so good. This device combines springs and magnetism to produce a smartphone mount that is elegant in its simplicity. What's not to like, other than perhaps being a few pennies cheaper.*** Alas, the mount broke after 13 months of use ***

Brilliant little device. Our new car doesn’t have a sat nav display bit with this, you don’t need it!
