Great Phone/power Fc Holder For $10

[Birnie]

Hey guys.

I was shopping for a new phone holder yesterday and came across this little beauty

It's good for the phone and even better for the Power FC.

(probably buy another one for the FC soon)

Pics are attached

Price was $9.95 from Leading Edge (one of those dodgey brothers elevtrival stores)

Top price if you ask me.

It works using magnets.

Attatch one permanentyl to the back of your phone or PFC and the other piece attaches to the dash of course.

Using the double sided sticky tape method but it is 3M tape so hopefully is reliable.

(hasn't dropped yet...a whole 24 hrs ! )

It has a button on the side which acts as a lever system to 'pop' the magnets aparts.

You know what it's like trying to get 2 flat magnets apart. Can be tricky.

This button makes it pretty easy.

Anyways.

It's the best option I've seen so far so I'm just putting it out there for you guys to check out and decide.

I already use a $12 job from Super Cheap for the Power FC but don't really like it.

Too ugly and noticeable. And taked up a vent slot.

This one you CAN NOT see once the device is mounted over it.

It's also pretty sturdy.

The oval shaped magnet on the back of my phone sticks out about 3mm

..and tha sits inside a 3mm deep oval on the bracket so it can't spin or slide off.

Pics below.....

Enjoy

hey that doesn't look half bad mate

One more thing.

It comes with a spare magent so you can have 1 bracket and a magnet for the back of 2 devices.

(of course, only 1 being used at a time)

Might be helpful to someone..

doesnt the magent play havoc with the screen on your phone?

yeh mate, lol, magnets next to electronics isnt a good idea.

its called uhh, elecromagetics

someone put a big sub next to your TV and see what it does.

BUT, i dont think it has an affect on LCD's but i am sure the rest of the electrics cant be 100% happy?

Works fine.

It's mounted there so i can see who's calling me without having to move my head or pick the phone up, then i answer the call by pressing another button for the bluetooth/handsfree setup.

Calls are fine

Everything works exactly the same as before the magnet.

..a tiny magnet compare to a sub.

strip of velcro?

did me just fine

[Birnie]

I found the velcro sticky wasn't too good and would eventually fall off

[RCEBNR]

i need to find something to mount my safc... are there cradles for them you can buy? i've tried the heavy duty velcro and in the sun it just falls off..

[AlexCim]

for anything "sticky" spend some extra cash and get 3M. They ARE the best, full stop

someone put a big sub next to your TV and see what it does.

i did that... it took a year for the screen to get the colours back right
