Nite Ize STCK-11-R8 Steelie Car Mount Kit for Cellphones – Retail Packaging
Here’s how it works: two specially engineered components – the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket and Steelie Ball Mount – are backed with 3M VHB foam adhesive tape, to provide secure-yet-versatile phone docking exactly where you need it. The Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket Component is a strong, machined aluminum base containing a powerful, circular magnet centered with flexible silicon that attaches to the center of the back of your phone or hard case. The Steelie Ball Mount Component also features a machined aluminum base topped with a steel ball that can be attached anywhere on your dashboard. The two connect magnetically, and, once your phone is in place, keep it securely positioned, even if you accidentally hit that speed bump a little faster than you intended. The Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket’s silicon center creates a smooth glide and firm grip, so you can easily rotate the phone from landscape to portrait position and it stays that way until you turn it again. And, because of its fumble-free design, unlike other phone holders, the Nite Ize Steelie Car Mount Kit is legal in all 50 United States. Here’s an added bonus: when you’ve reached your destination and you detach your phone from the Ball Mount, the Magnetic Phone Socket still works with any other convenient metal surface. So you can attach your phone to refrigerator doors, metal shelving, filing cabinets, toolbox tops, even grocery cart handles-and keep it usable, secure, and easy to view throughout your day. The Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket contains a strong magnet. These magnets will NOT damage your tablet or phone. However, do not place new magnetically sensitive objects such as credit cards, pacemakers or computer hard drives. Steelie assumes no liability for damage to such objects.

Fantastic little mount This mount is creative, innovative, and effective. I have one in my truck and it is fantastic!Easy to attach, and use.One pro tip…if you’re going to have your phone in landscape mode with the charging cable attached, balance your phone between your fingers to find the sweet spot.One Dummy tip….keep the magnet away from your credit cards because….you’ll find out.
Pretty good product, but pricey I’ve tried a number of different mounts for my smart phone. None of them were quite right and the one that worked the best took up a cup holder spot. I saw this and decided to try it. Installation was easy and the magnet holds well. I’m giving it four stars for a couple of minor gripes.1) It’s kind of slippery in that the phone rotates around the ball easily. It would make more sense for the company to mill small groves in the ball and the ring to hold the phone in place. Probably not an issue for thinner phones but my Rezound with the extended battery pack is a bit on the beefy side.2) I know that it needs really good adhesive, but there should be a means to reinstall the components when I get a new phone or new vehicle.3) It’s a bit pricey. That’s only a gripe because of #1 and #2. I’ll probably get a new phone sometime early next year and I’d like to reuse the current ring and not have to buy a whole new mount.Other than that, I recommend this for vehicles that are hard to find mounts for.
