People tend to prefer an air vent magnetic phone holder over a traditional one since this does not block the flow of air and is also more comfortable to use.

The Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount comes with a unique three-section air vent clip that can be adjusted to fit the varied thickness of air vent blades across different vehicles. Such compatibility gives it a unique selling point in the market.

What is in a magnetic phone holder?

A magnetic phone holder, typically, comes with a hard magnetic head which is attached to an adjuster. The magnetic head is the one responsible for holding your mobile phone to the holder, and the adjuster assists in positioning the mobile phone at your convenience. Also, while the one end of the adjuster is attached to the magnetic head, the other side is the one that connects it to the surface, which keeps the holder in place. It could be attached to a dashboard, windshield, a CD slot, or an air vent depending on the model.  There is a small, thin metal plate that is available with the magnetic phone holder that helps in mounting the mobile phone against the magnet. Either the back of the mobile device or the case, need to have a sticker that can hold this metal plate in place. For example, the in-box accessory of Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount includes one rectangular metal plate and one circular metal plate, along with a 3M sticker. So, whenever you mount your mobile phone on the magnetic holder, this metal gets stuck to the magnet, and you can swiftly pull away to unmount the mobile phone. The magnetic phone holders, therefore, work on a simple concept of the magnetic field between the metal and the magnet.

Features to look out for in a magnetic phone holder:

  • A magnetic phone holder shall be compatible with almost all screen sizes. It should also provide a smooth mounting and unmounting without the fear of creating scratches on the mobile cover or the casing. The Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount is compatible with mobile phones having a screen size ranging from 3.5 inches to 6 inches, which is wide enough to suit almost all the mobile phone models.

The Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount provides for a smooth adjustment of the phone’s angle while being mounted to the holder. There is no need to operate the alignment through a lock or a button; a simple manual movement of the mobile phone can adjust it to the desired position.
  • The magnetic holder should be able to support bulky phones and should be capable of holding them through the bumps and twists of the road. The magnetic pull shall be strong enough to deal with the jerks and shocks on the drive, and the Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount would be an excellent choice to ensure a shockproof hold of your phone.

Typical misconceptions over a magnetic holder and crushing them down:

  • There were days when you press your fingers against the television screens or desktop screens or mobile phones, or even rub a magnet on their screen, and it could be psychedelic colors. Those were based on old technology when magnetic fields could intrude on electronic devices. But nowadays, we have advanced to OLED and IPS LCD screens that do not depend on magnetic fields to operate, and we no longer have to worry about magnetic interferences to our mobile phones.
  • There is a common concern about whether magnets could damage the data contained in our mobile phones. The storage chips in the phones have flash memory that ensures magnets do not affect the mobile phones. Therefore, your phone gallery, contacts, and messages are still safe in their device.
  • People have a general opinion that magnetic phone holders cause their batteries to drain down. The mobile phones these days come with ample battery capacity to handle heavy usages throughout the day. However, we usually switch on the GPS for navigation or make a video call, or play on continuous music throughout the journey. These activities generally lead to draining down of battery, be it on the magnetic holder or otherwise. The lithium-ion batteries operate on a chemical reaction when charged and do not get affected due to a magnetic field.
  • You can usually find mobile phone speakers at the bottom end of the device. The magnetic field in the car phone does not cause any damage to the speakers, firstly because the strength of the magnetic field in your mobile phone holder is not strong enough to damage your mobile phone speaker. Also, you mount your device in such a way that the center of the mobile case is in contact with the holder. It is always not advisable to bring speakers in close contact with the magnets, and your mobile phones are just fine since they are not subject to any magnetic field around the speakers, which can cause any damage.
  • If you think that magnetic phone holders can damage the GPS feature on the phone, then let us clarify the concept. GPS is a satellite-based tracking system that functions through the satellite signals transmitted to and from the device. It helps in locating a device through its geolocation and the details of the time of such identification, assisting in tracking the distance traveled too. It is, therefore, clarified that the GPS feature does not use geomagnetic forces, and hence magnetic fields in the phone holder can not interfere with the GPS signals and thus can not cause any harm.
  • Magnetic phone holders can not damage the phone signals. The reason being, the phone signals operate on radio wave technology. The signals from your mobile reach the cell phone tower, which is converted into digital signals and then converted back into voice signals when it reaches the receiver. These radio signals can not be disturbed by magnetic signals since they operate on entirely different concepts.
  • The apparent concern arises about what happens to the phone’s compass when brought close to the magnetic holder. The compass works on the phenomenon that allows you to understand where the north is, based on its magnetic sensors. However, the magnetic field around the phone holder is so negligible that it is not powerful enough to interrupt and damage the magnetic sensor of the phone’s magnet. To provide you a better picture, a magnetic field as strong as a lab sized horseshoe magnet can disrupt the phone’s magnetic compass. Therefore, damage to the phone’s compass can not be possible by the compact magnetic holder.

Additional benefits in using a car phone holder:

When your phone holder can also charge your phone, it’s double benefit from a single product. With excessive usage of the phone battery due to usage of GPS and Bluetooth, we would, for sure, require a charger that comes handy. The magnetic phone holders do not cover the charging slots and allow the jack to be connected freely. When the phone holder comes with an attached charging cable, it eliminates the trouble of having to search for the wires on the car’s floor and pulling it towards the phone mount.

People prefer mobile phones that are compact enough and are comfortable to use one-handedly. Therefore, it becomes a crucial aspect while driving that you should be able to operate your phone with a single hand. It is also essential that the car holder should be comfortable to work in a single hand. Mounting and unmounting the phone to and from the holder should not be a cumbersome activity and should not distract your sight off the road. The car holders, such as the Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount are available with a sleek yet sophisticated look that satisfies the concern of most customers.

Most brands provide a warranty on their phone holders, which gives additional encouragement to the customers to try out new products and choose the one that suits them the best. The Pivoi Strong Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount comes with a 12 months warranty.

Why should magnetic holders be preferred over the conventional clip holders?

Magnetic holders are smaller in size as compared to the conventional clip holders. These are compact to hold and carry around, and also occupies less space on your dashboard, air vent or the windshield. These also provide a firmer hold of the phone as compared to the clip holders. The product tends to last longer since the magnets have a longer useful life than the spring-based plastic clips. These are also less prone to damage or breakage as compared to a clip holder. Another advantage of magnetic holders over the clip holders is that the magnetic holders can hide behind the phone and would almost be invisible when the phone is mounted. The magnetic phone holder provides a better look and comfort in operating all over the phone’s screen. The clip holders could cover any screen space or might need adjusting the clip position to access certain places on the phone’s screen. The use of a magnetic phone holder eliminates this issue with the clip holder.

The magnetic plates and the holders are also individually available in the market. Therefore, it is quite cheaper to purchase various magnetic plates and mounts so that you can mix and match them to create your customized magnetic holder. The magnetic plates are compatible with almost all the holders available in the market and vice versa. This advantage is not possible with a clip holder, wherein you might end up investing in so many products and spending huge money on them.

The innovations with the magnets have never failed to surprise us. Beginning from a simple compass to the massive MRI scanners, the magnetic fields have been useful to humankind. The next-generation cars and the floating trains are a few examples of how people could take the uses of magnet to the next level. In the way of all these innovations, magnetic car holders happen to be frequently used in everyday lives and designed, keeping in mind our convenience and road safety. The launch of magnetic holders in the market has changed the game. People have acknowledged the benefits of magnetic holders and their advantages over the existing clip holders or no holders.

Therefore, with the increasing demand for magnetic phone holders, there are a lot of products available in the market. However, it is necessary to make an informed purchase. People should not be carried away by the cheap and low-quality products and ensure that they invest in a brand that performs as it promises. It is easy to identify inferior products. Products that have poor quality rubber and thick plastic cases do not provide high-quality functioning. The materials get worn out easily and would require you to change frequently. It happens to be a wasteful expenditure. It is always advised to spend a few extra pennies and invest in trusted brands. It helps you to save a lot of money in the future since there would not be a need to replace the product for a very long time. When you own an elegant luxury car, it is more important to ensure that a branded quality car holder compliments the car interiors. On a first impression, the look of the car holder is more apparent than the functioning. However, the usability and operation of the phone holder hold a higher priority in choosing the right product.
