About the Scosche MAG12V magicMOUNT™

Alexander H.

Plug it in

Scosche's magicMOUNT™ makes mounting a smartphone or media device in your car so easy. Plug it into your car's 12-volt power port and you can use the integrated USB port for charging. You'll need to stick the included MagicPlate™ onto the back of your device, but Scosche gives you two ultra-thin sizes that are easy to hide behind a protective case or battery cover. Once you apply the MagicPlate, simply place your device onto the heat/cold-resistant magicMOUNT and it stays put.

Features

Magnetic Smartphone Mount: The Scosche MagicMount is a new magnetic mounting system for conveniently mounting smartphones and more. Just hover your device near the magnetic surface and it instantly locks securely in place. Its sleek cradle-free design uses high-powered magnets to secure your device where you use them most. Place your device at any angle for convenient viewing.

12V Charger: Part of the Scosche MagicMount system is a 12-volt car charger which plugs into your vehicle's cigarette lighter or 12V power port. The 12-volt charger has a USB (type-A) port used to connect your mobile device's USB cable in order to charge the battery of your mounted device. The USB charging port is rated at 7.5W/1.5A.

Installation: This magnetic smartphone system consists of a 12-volt car charger with flexible arm, magnetic bracket, and two magnetic plates. The 12-volt car charger plugs into your vehicle's cigarette lighter or 12V power port. The magnetic bracket mounts to the flexible arm of the 12-volt charger. There are two magnetic plates; one small for smartphones or smaller GPS units, and one large for tablets or larger GPS units. The magnetic plate adheres to the back of your device or case with 3M tape. The other side of the magnetic plate joins to the installed magnetic bracket on the 12-volt charger's flexible arm. Once your mobile device is mounted, you can connect your device's USB cable to the 12-volt charger's USB (type-A) port to charger your device's battery.

Angle Adjustment: Once your device is installed on the MagicMount, you can extend, angle, swivel, rotate, or tilt your device for the best viewing angle.

Compatibility: The Scosche MagicMount system works with Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablets, portable GPS navigators, and other compact portable devices.

Note: Scosche does not recommend using the MagicMount system for any device with an external hard drive (iPod Classics, Zunes, etc.).

Q
Would this hold a full size ipad? If not what would you recommend to use inside of a work truck to hold it in upright position? Thanks Rob

I bought one a couple of months ago or so and love it. I use it in my work truck for my iPhone. It holds it great in all situations. I think it would or sure hold your iPad with no case while you are sitting still or if you are on the highway a lot, but not if you are driving bumpy roads or normal rough grounds. I just don't think that the cigarette lighter can handle it without breaking. That's my two cents and hope it may help you.

I believe it would be able to. You won't want to put the thin magnet under a case though, as that weakens it a little bit. Make sure you can position the stand in a way that the weight of the iPad doesn't cause the stand to flop down (if you can make sense of that). I have my magnet under my iPhone 5s case and I don't see my phone coming detached from the stand ever.

It holds my iPhone6 just fine. In fact I love it! Now with the iPad I would be a little by leary. What I would be concerned with is where you plug it in. (Cigarette lighter) It needs to be really solid. Even with the iPhone mine rocks a bit when I'm driving.

This will not hold a full size ipad. I tried mounting an iPad 2 and it fell while driving on the freeway. Try an IPad mini it is what I'm currently using and it is holding fine.

The 'neck' of this is very sturdy and will hold with no problem. The concern I would have, not knowing your exact setup, would be the magnet itself that hold the tablet/phone in place. The 'thicker' your case, the less the magnet will be able to hold. No case. then most likely no problem. but if you have a protective case like otter box or similar, then it won't hold at all. Hope this helps

I have only used it for my I phone, however, I have a friend who bought this and he has used it in his truck with an I pad and he loves it.
manuel  Jan 05, 2015

Although the magnet is surely strong enough to support an iPad, I don't think the car lighter plug-in would support the weight. There's a lot of give between the lighter and adapter in my ford, which makes for a somewhat unstable, although manageable, experience with my iPhone 6 Plus. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations for your intended purpose. Best of luck.
