M8 - Magnetic Phone Mounts
Anyone have a suggestion for a good magnetic phone mount? I had the ones that you stick I to the AC vents but it broke my vent (for what it's worth was pretty flimsy for a 150k car). Now looking for something that won't break the car. Any suggestions?

There's an older thread on this subject that has several suggestions from forum members including the magnetic mount I purchased based on the recommendation.

I asked my Q because the new iPhones have MagSafe built in, so a slew of third party magnetic mounts will be hitting the market shortly.

I understand that as have had same function on Macbook Pros, etc. You asked about phone mounts not charging. Unless some 3rd party includes a magnetic car mount that wires to a USB/USBC port the charging is AWOL.

Here's one of the first to offer magnetic mount and charging. There will be more.

I've had a wireless charger in my vent for several years now with no damage to the vent. It does occasionally wiggle it's way loose a bit and I have to push it back in, but overall I've been happy with it. In the summer I open the vent to allow cool air to blow on the phone to keep it cool while charging and in the winter I close that vent so hot air doesn't blow on it. I have had a few instances where the phone told me it was getting too hot while charging there, but proper vent/air management seems to have fixed that.
