Nite Ize STF-01-R7 Original Steelie FreeMount Bracket - Additional FreeMount for Steelie Magnetic Phone Mounting Systems Black

Exactly what I needed,this magnet is strong enough to stick to the fridge without sliding down with the phone attached to it..try it.

My father had in if these he raved about it. About 6 months in it failed, the pin that pivoted the release arm broke, we were able to rig it with a screw and keep going.I liked the holder a lot and thought the breakage could be a fluke, I bought one and within a few months had the same issue and it broke in the same place. I maybe used it 3 times a week on Avg.I fixed that one the same way and then bought to this one on Amazon as a backup just in case. Well, the repaired online didn’t last and I brought out the spare. It was in use about 6 months and it broke and in exactly the same way the first two I experienced. I feel like a fool having bought 3 now, and do not expect to buy another.What’s super unfortunate is not I feel I need to question the quality of a brand of products I have enjoyed using for years!Btw, I would not recommend this to phone mount to anyone.

The media could not be loaded. First on I had lasted 2 years before it quit holding my phone. I purchased a second one that only last one month. The magnet is strong and hold the mount in place, the clamp is the weak point. We will see what they say about a replacement. If not I hope I can get the mount off the dash cleanly I’m done. Will update if service is good.Update: I spoke with the manufacturer and they sent me the newest model free of charge. I was told this model is known to have these issues and has been discontinued. I have had the newer model for over a week now. It holds the phone great and seems to be more mechanically durable. Id recommend buying the new model and if there are any issues they have great customer service.New model:https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-Universal-Windshield-Compatible/dp/B08QR1J56Q/ref=sr_1_54?crid=23GFXQ7EYSC4W&keywords=nite%2Bize&qid=1695322192&sprefix=nite%2B%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-54&th=1

I love these things, I have now owned 3. The first one, I resized too often and it broke. I took it apart and tried to fix it, but it was a critical plastic nub inside which had broken. Repairs were not successful. However, if you size it to your phone and then never open it again, just keep cramming your phone into it, it'll last longer. Instead of resizing it for my phone or my girlfriend's tiny iphone I just have two, and I keep hers in the glovebox until she uses it. I ALSO have two mounting points on my car so I can have mine up top for the GPS and she can put hers down by the dash so she can control the radio. And swapping them is easy when we switch drivers!

This is a repurchase. My first one lasted a while but then it broke so I had to purchase a new one. Great hold and it has extra silicone attachments if you have a smaller phone or one with no case. The magnet is strong and durable

I am giving this bracket three stars because it is very well made, but not very good for a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in an Otterbox Defender case. A year ago, Customer Service stated in a response to a question that the bracket spread is 4-inches and at a "true" 4- inches, it would work fine with my phone, but that dimension is between the hard plastic end pieces. The spread is much less between the soft rubber cushioning material on the faces of the end brackets. The Note 20 with the Defender case has to be wedged" into the soft "teeth" to fit into the bracket at max spread. The bracket holds the phone securely, but there is no way to quickly release it from the bracket. I really wanted this bracket to work so I tried to cut the "teeth" off each side, but they are too soft and spongy. I did manage to remove most of the soft material from the end brackets and then glue a 1/16 inch piece of silicone across the face on each bracket. I managed to get one click of adjustment, but the silicone did not provide enough grip to provide a tight secure grip on the phone. Too late to send this one back, but may have to order another one and put up with having to "wedge" the phone in and not have a quick release.

only complaint i have about this is that i have to squeeze pretty card to get it to click/lock into a position tight enough to hold my phone. if i go one less click then it is loose...other than that this pairs really well with the a car mount from nite ize, or you can just stick it to anything metal which is very convenient in many situations!..i use this with the car mount that has suction cup for your windshield and a metal ball on the end of an adjustable/swinging arm..works great in the car. very sturdy and no bumps will ever be stronger than the magnets holding it to your car mount...worth it! oh and best part is you dont always have to use it..very very easy to remove and put on..just keep in mind on my samsung phones i have to squeeze it just a tad hard to get it to hold onto my phone...not like its breaking it or anything, though!

This is the second one of these that I purchased. My first one I bought from a Verizon store several years ago, and somehow the part that is supposed to fit snug against your phone (the adjustable part) got stuck, and I couldn't get it to push in tighter to hold my phone. My son tried to take it apart to fix it but it was not fixable. So I've ordered another, hopefully this will last longer. Although I did get quite a bit of use out of my first one.I like that it's adjustable and has an open frame, so I can have my phone plugged in and the cord does not get in the way. The biggest downside for people may be that you have to adhere a big silver ball somewhere in your car, and it's VERY stuck. When I pull on mine, it feels like I might break the dashboard before the ball will come off. I'm sure if I want it off I'll have to use some chemical (goo-gone) to get it loosened up. Meanwhile, there's a silver ball stuck on my dash. I was able to find a place above my cup holder in the center console that works well to have it attached to, but you need to make sure you really think about where you're going to want to mount this in your car, because you're committed once you've put it on.
