I have an iPhone 13 with a slimline bounce type case. Currently use an Amazon sourced China unknown brand magnetic phone charging mount which is fine for ordinary driving.

However, when pressing on, phone can fall off.

Any ideas for something that genuinely sticks like a limpet that is magnetic (don’t want a clamp type one).

I have this on the Cayman (as vertical vents don’t work well with vent mounts!) and works very well, rock solid (used MagSafe case btw). Note it has a metal plate you can stick on top of dash - the mount then clamps to that.

And if you have horizontal slats (which I have on the Avensis) then the following works very well

And if you want your case to be a “MagSafe” one…

Megamount.

iPhone 13 here. I stuck the disc to the outer of the case and it works perfectly.

I have this one. It's a bit expensive but works superbly and looks really neat too.

The MagSafe case is what I was missing, fixed the issue! Thanks.
