I can confirm without anything out of the box you can mount the s7 edge on your magnetic mount.
I have an s5 and i stick a metal in the back cover for my magnetic mount in my car out of curiosity i tried it against my mount it stick around the middle part of the back.

Does it interfere with your signal or other functions? I think I'd rather be safe and put the metal plate inside my case. I have a magnetic mount too, so I've been curious about this.

I may be stupid but I'm pretty sure there isn't anything in your phone that would be effected by magnets.
On a desperate but related note, what difference would a metal plate make, other then to possibly interfere with signal penetration into the device?

Kind of. It uses the fact that an AC current causes a fluctuating magnetic field which can then be picked up by a second conductor and turned back to AC current.

While the information contained in the links is mostly correct (though extremely sparse). The one thing wireless charging wl do to harm your I is heat it up. Usually it's not a concern for naked phones though.
Magnetic fields we're talking about should not effect modern electronics. The CPU and memory (RAM and ROM) don't use magnetic fields, nor would the small fields used to hold things together cause EMP like symptoms (both because they are small and stable.)

Good to know... I never liked putting my phone in front of my vents though. It gets cold in Columbus that would block the heat. lol I just have a gps mount that I can put my phone in. I have it so it's snug enough that it won't fall out and that I can just grab and go without unlocking it. The only downside is the it's a big mount. I just have no place to put my phone and on the dash is the best place so you still kind of have your eyes on the road using GPS.

Best mount ever! In stock at Amazon for $19.99 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IOQ3K6

CNET's review: http://reviews.cnet.com/other-car-components/imagnet-mount-for-smartphones/4505-6730_7-35484776.html
The mount itself is magnetic and comes with a choice of 3 metal plates (2 with adhesive backing) to attach to your phone, which are thin enough to fit under the battery cover, case or on the back side of the device. The mount's suction cup is sticky so it even works on textured surfaces.
The magnet in the mount does affect the wacom pen, which does not respond in the 1.5 inch area in front of the magnet, so don't get this if you plan on using your S-pen with the mount. I mount mine in the car where I don't use the S-pen.
The arm has limited range so it's better suited for horizontal surfaces, but the ball joint is your standard 17mm size so it will work with different bases that have adjustable arms.
Free yourself from clamps and device-specific mounts! I highly recommend this mount. Now if they only made these with wireless charging..
Does the magnet affect the memory card?
No. My memory card works fine and so does the compass, GPS, bluetooth etc.
Superglue inside? No thanks.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
It comes with 3 metal discs. 1 plain and 2 with adhesive backing to stick on the back side of the device or inside of case.
I wanted a clean install so I opted to put the plain one behind the battery cover. The ones with adhesive didn't fit. It stays put without glue but I change my battery often so I just glued it. I was able to tear it off my S3 and reinstall it on the N2. I'm sure tape works fine.
This thing has been getting 5 star reviews. I usually don't recommend products that often but this one was worth it.
It looks slick too. I'll have to post some pics.
If only they had built wireless charging into it too
it is my understanding that the magnetic field would disrupt the working of the S-pan. can you confirm that the s-pen works with this magnet attached?

You sir are correct. I went out to test this and it seems that the S-pen does not respond in the 1.5 inch circle where the magnet is. It works fine elsewhere on the screen. I don't plan on using the S-pen in the car but this is good to know because I was going to get one to use as a desk dock.
Attached a some pics of the dock and phone. That Torque app is an app I'd recommend to any car enthusiast.
Here's a shot of the metal disc taped to the back cover.

The metal disk to fit inside the cover is just a metal plate that is not magnetized. The magnet is outside.
However, I would not recommend this. If you use it a lot, the metal plate will get magnetized over time and become a magnet itself, causing the compas to give false readings and it only takes a week magnet to cause this.
You can easily try this out yourself. Get a needle that is not magnetic. Then swipe a strong magnet along the length of the needle 10-20 times. Now you have a magnetic needle.
Doesn't that only happen to some metals? I've been using this mount for 3 months since I had my GS3 and the disc has not magnetized.
This mount was originally made for iPhones and the manual said it's safe for use on iPhones--that it won't scramble the components.
Anyways, I just wanted to recommend a product that has been a joy for me to use. I think that over time they'll come out with one that has wireless charging which would be sweet.

Maybe this magnet isn't powerful enough but they can cause the battery to raipidly discharge and overheat because of the metals inside the battery. I'd love this if it was like the Palm wireless charging..
I was looking up videos of this on youtube and one of the posts had a discount code for this on Amazon. I can't post the link.

i bought this off amazon. it arrived a few days ago, but i haven't even opened it yet. i don't have the balls to mess with the magnet. it weirded me out when i read that the magnet may mess with the gps. that's the only reason i bought the mount (for nav).

P.S. but its nice to see that this product wasn't made in China.
No issues with GPS here. It only seems to affect the wacom pen.
I kind of want to get one mainly because it does not need any tinkering with the device, just stick the receiver or position itself on top of the battery and close the back cover.
Device in the picture is the GS3 though the website says it's for the Note 2.

Yeah, works alright. Wireless charging is kinda limited to 600-700ma or if you tinker with some wires and solder you should be able to run around 1-1.1A of charging current.
To get wireless charging on the Verizon Note 2, you have to remove the back cover and solder 2 connectors or cut away the plastic concealing the 2 protectors - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slD48Zm_uBM&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

I think they are different. I got the SainSonic wireless charging pad and receiver for mySamsung S3, so far they workes well.
Yeah, it works well for me on my AT&T unit. Slow, but I use it overnight so it doesn't matter. I wish they would go ahead and release the damn OEM door already, because my charging pad comes loose now and then.

I have that but with the "Input: 5v -- 1000mA" model and it works like a charm with n7105. I understand that there is very thin 2013 model (color green) of the receiver that fits better than the one that we have. Just stick it at the back, secure the two metal connectors with tape so that it would continuously stick to the metal connectors of the phone, and it'll work.

I'm with you on wanting a new battery door. I hate the slight bulge on the back the charger coil creates. It doesn't affect the functionality but I'm a bit OCD so the fact that my phone is wobbly on a flat surface bothers the heck out of me.

Works fine with the AT&T version of Note 2, a bit slowly ofcourse. I sorta stopped using it after a while cos.. the phone seemed to need to slign quite well with the charging pad, and I'm used to picking up the phone a couple of times at night to see the time or web browse (only kidding)... and if you don't replace the phone properly on the pad, it wouldn't charge...
In the end, I realised plugging in the mini USB just before going to bed isn't as big a deal as I thought it was when I was ordering the wireless charging pad.!!
are you sure about soldering?

When you solder to the flex board there are small metal pads on the circles. If you apply enough heat the "pads" come off revealing the solder points in which you can apply direct solder. Use a thin layer or the battery door will bulge.

At the risk of looking like a complete noob and being flamed, which charging pad do you suggest? Also, the link is to a replacement battery door. Im assuming that the wireless charger is attached in some way to that door and needs to be removed? Or is it just something that comes along with the door and sits inside the door like in your application?

For users in your area of the world those will work but USA has to suffer.
I have been using magnetic dock in my car with original nexus 5 and don't want to give this up. I'm afraid that sticking the magnetic plate inside a regular case will eventually destroy the back cover of the phone that is resting against the plate. Does anyone know of any case with built in metal plate for attaching to a magnetic dock or a two piece case that I can slide the magnetic plate between?
I saw the back is easily removable. I'm thinking of opening to put the metal plate in the back so that I may continue to use the device naked.

No scratches. I used a plastic tool that came with my screw driver kit. basically a flat end. got it separated a little around the charger port (careful to not grab at the charger it self) and once i saw a gap in the body put the tool in and worked my way around. a sturdy guitar pick would do it too. then snap it all back, and remember to snap right around the camera too.

I'll try to get the device back and take some pictures. Gave it away to a family member. Www really painless to do, but i understand the reservation. I'm use to tinkering even with a brand new item.

It's awesome to hear how easy it is to slip something in. Do you know the thickness of the plate you put in?
I used the mounttek one. So unsure of the thickness. Sorry

I've read people claim magnetic mounts can cause permanent damage to the Spen functionality and some saying Samsung reps even claim it's bad.
Have any of you used magnetic mounts on your previous Note phones? Any advice?
Also, some say their Note phone is already magnetic and can stick right on a mount without a metal plate attached to a case, like normal. Any experience with that?
This seems like an important issue to work out!
I for one, wouldn't want to use wireless charging with a magnet on the back of my phone
I have used a magnet mount with my Note 5(the magnet is not on the device just a metal card for the magnet to grab onto). I experienced no problems with my S Pen as a result. You have to get a good one though. Some of the magnets are not strong enough to hold a big phone. I had one from MPOW that worked well.

It wouldn't be on the phone, but the case. I use TPU cases that come off rather easily, so if I do get and use a wireless charger, I'd have to remove the case prior to using it. Glad you brought that up! Thanks!

Good to know. I have a mount already and use the magnetic card thing and have it stuck to my Pixel case. I will need a new plate, however. I imagine they sell those separately.
I am using this and my wireless fast and normal charging works just fine.

The magnetic piece is not a full magnetic plate but just an outer circular cutout that works pretty well. It also provides wireless charging on my S8+.
I use a 6-magnet spigen with my S8 w/o a plate and it would hold fine. But the Note8 fell off twice on this morning drive.
Been using the iottie magnetic vent clip on my Note8 since I opened it yesterday and haven't had any problems.
Does anyone know exactly where the charging coil is located on the Note 8? Any internal pics? If it is more towards the middle of the phone, then a metal plate may be used at the bottom of the phone to not interfere with charging, at least this is what i'm hoping for.

The only problem with the magnetic mounts is the wireless charging. They have a new Nano stick mount it comes in tomorrow from Amazon. I will test it and report back.

Because you have to have a piece of metal on your phone or on the case for it to work. The metal will block the wireless charging.

Have used a steelie mount on my previous note 5 for 6+ months, no problems at all. But no, you can't wireless charge because it keeps the phone to far away from the charger

Magnetic mounts and wireless charging do not play well together. Wireless charging is more important to me. Aside from that, all the "good" magnetic mounts I tried over the years were never strong enough to hold my phones for long. I buy larger phones.
I finally just bit the bullet a couple of years ago and bought Pro Clip mounts. They are not cheap but I'm not tossing them every 2 weeks for something better.
Got my Nano non magnetic mount in today and it works great. It feels like it is on a magnet. I live in New Orleans and the roads here are terrible and it never fell or moved one time. This is a good mount for those of us who want to use wireless charging. Got it on amazon look at my previous post.

My no date sticks to the magnet without even putting the metal plate in the case
