I was bored on a long weekend and decided that the universal car mounts with the arms (you know the ones I'm talking about - these pieces of junk http://i.imgur.com/f2zZcCs.jpg ) plus the necessity of plugging the phone in manually was ENTIRELY too much trouble.
Ok, not really... but that was my excuse for putting together a little DIY project!
It turns out that the LG WCP-300 wireless qi charger fits perfectly inside a gutted Schosche Vent Mount (this guy: http://i.imgur.com/rRpZO78.jpg ). I had to cut out quite a bit of little plastic pieces, but the charger is held very securely once the mount is gutted.
Next, I bolted a secure, flat platform to my A-pillar trim piece (the pillar to the left of the windshield) and mounted a flexible arm suction cup mount.
From there, I hard-wired a 2amp usb charger using a fuse-tap and ran the cable up through the dash and out between the A-pillar trim piece and the dashboard. This cable is plugged into the wireless qi charger.
So now, when I get in the car, I just set my phone on the charger, the magnets hold it securely in place, and it charges wirelessly!
It's totally awesome and is definitely the most expensive car mount I've ever had - but it's SO cool!
Total cost: Around $40 for the mount, another $40 for the LG WCP-300 wireless charger.

I purchased some neodymium rare earth magnets from Home Depot. Not sure of the exact ones, but the ones on the phone mount are fairly large, while the ones inside the case are, by necessity, much smaller.
There are no magnets in the WCP-300 - I found that putting magnets on it - at least in my case - made charging not as consistent. It may have just been some other factor during my testing, but there you have it. The magnets are around the WCP-300 and around the wireless charging coils in the phone itself (I popped off the cover attempting to place the magnets inside the phone initially).
Hopefully that answers your question!

Very awesome man. I'd totally pay 100 bucks for that set up if a company made it like that. How much time from start to finish did it take you about?

I'd say it only took me an hour or two of solid work, but I was running to Home Depot and back over the course of a day and also testing/trying out different stuff before I found the solution that worked.
All-in-all, well worth the time/money!

Great questions. The ONLY thing they interfere with is the compass... the phone always thinks it's pointing north. However, I only use navigation, and direction is determined by GPS, not by compass, so I don't notice the difference.

well nice try indeed.
but i have my doubts about those magnets corrupting the flash storage and the compass alignment during use. imagine s.o. putting stronger neodym there. that blows the electrons into space lol. also destroying the carinterior is bad ....

Well, the car interior was not destroyed. I used a trim piece that costs $24 to replace.
If you could point me to a study or some proof that the magnets are bad for my phone, I will take them off in a heartbeat! As it is, I can deal with the compass not working.

I doubt these guys would be in business if magnets were bad for your phone. http://www.amazon.com/Cradle-less-Q...e=UTF8&qid=1382805684&sr=1-1&keywords=imagnet

well i dont know the physics behind very well, but i think when bad things come together and somebody uses a very heavy magnet the induction voltages could outrage and lead to misbehavior or destruction. but it seems like the have to be really strong to do even little damage.
But neodym magnets can of course cause severe damage to other sensors or metallic parts in the cellphone. Like the vibrator e.g. ... :silly: i think as long as the magnetic fields arent moved with high speeds nothing should happen to the flash memories.
the car interior wasnt destroyed ? didnt you cut or screw the A-pillar of the car ? ....

I guess you missed it. Yes, I bolted it to the A-pillar TRIM PIECE, which, as I pointed out, is $24 to replace if I ever decide to get rid of it.
Not sure how magnets affect the phone in the long run (so far, nothing out of the ordinary), but I guess I'll be the pioneer and let y'all know if something goes wrong!

[Q] Best Car Mount?

I'm looking for a car mount that can replace my old N5's qi based charger. I have a curved/textured dashboard, it would be great if I can mount on that!
Thanks!

My old civic had a curved and textured dash and was incredibly difficult to find a suction mount that actually held.
Enter iOttie.
These mounts typically have a soft and sticky suction mount that will adhere to almost any surface. I picked up the "easy flex 2" which has served me well for a couple years without ever detaching.
Word of caution though, when trying remove the mount yesterday it took CONSIDERABLE effort to pry it from my dash as the sticky bottom of the suction cup had become so settled that it seemed glued to my dash. I eventually pried it off but not without leaving some marks on my dash which I do not know if they can be cleaned off. The most common complaint for iOttie seems to be this "super adhesion" and is worth considering before purchase.
Tons of their mounts are available on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=mobile&field-keywords=iottie
HTH!

Any idea if a magnetic mount will work on the 5X (as with the 5?)
Thanks!

My iOttie Easy One Touch 2 car mount has been awesome

I have an iOttie which works great. My new car has a weird curve to the windshield so I now use a CD player mount ballhead phone holder that works really well.

This! I love this mount and always recommend it to people who have a CD slot in the dash, as long as its not in an awkward position. It's centered, close, my old iOttie dash mount was leaving an imprint, and cooler temperature wise by not being in the windshield. The last one is important for me especially in the hot Florida sun.

I actually decided to order another one but this time the magnetic Snap 3 version. I realized that because the phone has both power and volume on one side, the cradle version would have to grip it lower than it does on my GS5. Kind of throwing it off centered while in landscape. I do like the idea of putting the mounting badge on the inside of a case to keep it more discrete.

I went with the Spigen mount... It works great on my current HTC One M7, but I have concerns with the buttons in the middle of the phone on the 5X. Will see this week...

I hadn't thought about that. Please update with how that goes. I still haven't pulled the trigger on it.

Ok, been using the Spigen mount over the past few days... Overall, I think it will be hit/miss for many. I started with the phone centered in the mount, which results in the volume buttons being in the 'clamp zone', the power button was not interfered with. I inserted/removed the phone several times. There was one time that I noticed the volume button was hit (showing the volume slider on screen), but it wasn't being held down. So, there will be instances when the volume (and maybe the power, depending on how you insert) can be bumped, but it doesn't appear that the mount design will keep the button pressed.
I then adjusted the phone so it was offset in the mount so that the volume/power were not interfered with. Made inserting the phone a bit awkward, but that is likely due to having a certain method of mounting the phone. I think I just need to re-learn the process and it will be fine. I was happy with the result because it actually moves the phone closer to me. I have had no issues hitting the volume keys with it offset, nor was there any issues with the stability of the mount with the phone like this.
So, YMMV, but I will continue to use the Spigen mount...

I bought a Spigen magnetic vent clip mount. Then I cut down a Ringke Slim case and mounted a plate behind it. Phone slips and the magnet holds the butchered case in place when installing and removing. If I am running a case I put a plate in between the phone and the case and place a piece of dryer sheet between the phone and the plate. Not the nicest but quite functional.

Your thoughts on magnetic holsters

Im looking for a holster, i found some but most have a magnetic closure. Im not sure if its ok for our phones so i just wantes your thoughts or experience with it. I use samsung pay every day and i dont want any sensor to be off because of the magnets.
Maybe im a little paranoid over it because it probably takes an extremely powerful magnet to cause any harm but im not willing to test it out lol

None of the magnetic items for the phones will cause any harm to your phone.
You may notice that the stylus doesn't work where the magnet is, but it will work just fine when you move the magnet.

As a Samsung Experience Consultant, I do not recommend anything magnetic, I think they mess with the device internals.

You do know many manufacturers use magnets in their devices and accessories, including Samsung and Apple, right? Every Apple smart case / cover utilizes magnets and (as much as I love Android) I can honestly think of no more reliable tablet than the iPad.

You think or you know?
You should only be putting out info if you know. If you don't know, and it is clear you don't, then you should not speak on a subject.
Magnets will in no way harm the phone unless you are using super powerful magnets, what you use to hold the phone to a dock and things like that won't bother it in the least bit.

I do not recommend any of the Samsung Flip Cases to customers because I have seen them cause problems with devices before. I do not recommend magnetic closures because I have seen them cause problems with devices.

I'm not sure if this is specifically what you're asking about, but I've been using a Scosche MagicMount (http://amzn.com/B00I608BJ8) for my car dash and love it! I lay the larger metal plate (it comes with two sizes) at the bottom of my case, oriented where the longer sides are parallel to the bottom of the phone (let me know if you need a picture). I don't stick the plate to my phone, but rather set it inside my case. It turns out to be the perfect length and height for the Note 5. Wireless charging and Samsung Pay still work great. I used that picture of the Note 5 where someone made the back of transparent to make sure the wireless charging coil inside the phone does not over lap with the metal plate that comes with the mount.

I bought a nice leatherette case for my Note 5 only to find that the S-Pen does not work on the right hand side where the magnet is. I took it off immediately and went back to my Body Glove case.

I purchased a wallet case on eBay. I noticed there were areas on the screen that wouldn't work. When I flipped the removable phone case there were 6 magnets...three on each side to hold the phone in the wallet. These magnets are small, but the impact was terrible! I I'm attaching pictures of me using the s pen to find the areas on the screen and the back of the phone case.

-Sigh-
Like I said. "Magnets will in no way harm the phone"
This isn't harming your phone, it does do as you have seen which is a TEMPORARY issue and has already been discussed, it will cause no permanent harm to the phone.

I don't know about magnetic holsters but magnetic car mounts most definitely YES. I've used many holsters over the years, for all kinds of types of phones. I haven't really thought about it till I saw this post. My buddy has a good magnetic car mount for his s7 edge, but I don't really know anyone at the moment that's using a magnetic holster. Just my opinion though, the last time I used a holster was way back in January and it was actually pretty good. It was a best buy branded platinum, with kickstand holdster and case like a 3 in kind of deal but not magnetic. It fit could on my belt clips for my jeans and suit pants. Good luck

bought the Bracketron brand at best buy, the magnetic part is on the mount, it is a metal plate stick to your phone so no interference from the magnet, not owning a note 5 tho.

I put in some small tin paper cutouts INSIDE my note 5. I took the back cover off, peeled the sticker with the color/logo and spraypainted it a nice black then just glued the tin paper inside of that. Then I took a flat wireless charger and added neodymium magnets to it, modded it to be as small/thin as possible then covered it up with some black thin leather I bought from Michaels. I mounted it up to my car's console and now I just plop the phone onto it and it sticks tight and fast charges, no wires or case. Worked perfectly, but in hot weather the leather would become a bit slippery so it would slip off, but I fixed that with a couple of very small circular double sided gel tape on the bottom just to provide a bit of friction. I've ridden like this for the past 5 or 6 months and it doesn't slip or fall off at all, heavy bumps, hot weather, nothing dislodges it.
The only thing that doesn't work is the spen, and that's only directly over the magnets, but I wouldn't write on it anyway while it was mounted. Otherwise I've had zero difficulties with it. I'll post up pics if anyone is interested, but it's a bit frankenstein looking.

LED Case (not a review)

Got my Samsung LED wallet case today. Aside from the fact that this one closes more "securely" (doesn't lift up from the face without gravitational assistance), it's really no different from the Note7 and S7 Edge LED cases that I've previously owned. Very cool, nonetheless.

I forgot to mention that, while I'm not at all surprised that wireless charging works as expected with this case, I was quite pleased to find that there is no need to remove the note from the LED case to use the DeX Dock. It fits and works perfectly.

I wanted to get it but opted for the S-View case. I'm weary of spending the money on it because of the crappy ribbon that failed twice on the S7E last year.

Question on the LED case
Sorry to dig up an old thread but I thought you might be able to help me. I am about to purchase the Note 8 and I am looking at the LED case as I want to protect the screen of the phone.
In my vehicle I use a phone mount, RAM X-grip to be specific. If I open the case do you think I can continue to use this phone mount or will it distort the case and cause issues?
If it will cause issues can you use a magnetic mount with this case or will it interfere with the operation of the case or phone having a magnet on the rear of the phone?
Thanks for any help you can provide, I am just trying to figure this all out before I get the phone.

1. There is delicate electric ribbon from back to front part of the cover. Putting strain on the opened cover may damage the electronic connection and stop LEDs functioning well
2. I would advice against to connect any magnet to the phone (via case or directly) as it may/will interfere with S-pen/digitizer and wireless charging.
I have LED cover on Note 8 myself (like I did on Note 4) and I change cover to a simple non-flip case in the rare instances I use phone for navigation in rental cars. Other than that my phone is in center console. My only use in my car is through car infotainment system (play music, answer calls, have incoming messages read to me) so no need to present screen in holder (distracting and therefor dangerous anyway)

I definitely wouldn't put it in the RAM X-grip with the case folded back because that would not be good on the ribbon as mentioned. I do use mine with a magnet mount in both my vehicles and sometimes for hands free use in the shop and LOVE it. Its so easy to just toss it on there anytime effortlessly with not even really looking. I can never go back.
Magnet will not interfere with the case at all but it will cause a distortion field for the S-pen but all things considered you really shouldn't be using the S-pen while you driving anyways. :good:

Can you tell me which magnet mount you have. I purchased one and put the metal strip between the phone and case and the magnet simply is not strong enough to hold the phone securely. My vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler, so the ride is a bit bumpy. The phone would barely stay put sitting in the driveway, so definitely not going to hold up to driving.
I've tried the X-Grip and actually the curved rubber pads on the X-Grip actually press against the hard plastic shell portion around the phone and not really against the soft spine of the case. I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. If the LEDs fail I will report back to say I should've listened

I use THIS one in my wifes SUV. Its not as strong as the one in my truck, but where I have it positioned it rests on top of the vent turn wheels and is supported perfectly. I've never had it move while driving. Even if I don't get it centered on the magnet just right its never moved.
THIS is the one I use in my truck and its noticeably stronger than the Spigen in my wifes car. My truck is an F250 with 6" lift offroad kit and giant mudder tires that beat the hell out of you just driving down the road and my phone doesn't budge on this mount *as long as you snap the phone on centered* If you place the phone off centered it will start to tilt a little after you've been driving for a bit. I did take it off road just a little bit and really gave it some good vibrations to see if I could make it fall and I was unable to get it to pop off of there.

Note 8 naturally magnetic?

I've used a magnetic mount/case for several months now and today I took the case off when I was getting out of the car and without thinking stuck my phone on the mount while I grabbed something and realized it was sticking on its own, without the case. Anybody know why this is? Wireless charging coil? Would it damage the phone if I continued to use it without the case?

It shouldn't be magnetic (to that extent anyways) by default, but things can still become magnetized if they come into contact with certain magnetic fields, etc.
