At one end there’s the 3M sticker that will be used to mount the holder to your car’s dashboard and at the other is a magnetic surface. The magnetic head can be moved around in all directions, hopefully giving you the maneuverability needed to keep your phone out of sunlight and in-view no matter where you have to stick it.
Setting the Syncwire holder up is a case of finding a flat, smooth surface and sticking the mount to it. I couldn’t stick the holder to anything except the inside of a cubby lid, hence the somewhat unusual photos.
The Syncwide holder comes with metal plates that can be stuck to the back of your phone — one round, one rectangular. Those with MagSafe iPhones will need to put their metal plate lower than they might expect thanks to the wonder of magnetic fields. Attaching something big like an iPhone 12 Pro Max or Galaxy Note is a no-go. Every time the holder fell off my car and bounced around the cabin, my iPhone 12 Pro never budged from its grasp.
No surprises here — I can’t recommend people buy this holder unless they already have something similar and know for sure that their car is set up to accommodate it. Anyone looking for a nice, solid holder should look elsewhere — something with a suction cup or vent mount would be a much better option.
Syncwire Gravity car phone mount review
I ran across something that felt like that several years ago at CES but I can’t remember what it was called – just that the people who had made it had not yet reached the end of life of their first sticky product and had no idea how long the adhesion would last. The Syncwire Gravity car phone mount adheres to plastic, metal, or glass but they warn to keep it off of leather and leather-textured dashes. I really hope Syncwire sells replacement heads that fit this base as I’d love to see some options like wireless charging, magnetic lock, etc.

Syncwire Universal Car Phone Holder Reviews
As modern cars become more and more curvy, flat, smooth surfaces are more and more difficult to find. But can the super strong magnets of the Syncwire Universal Car Phone Holder make up for its problematic installation? At one end is the 3M sticker which will be used to mount the bracket to your car’s dashboard and at the other is a magnetic surface. The magnetic head can be moved in any direction, hopefully giving you the maneuverability you need to keep your phone out of the sun and in plain sight, no matter where you need to stick it. The Syncwide holder comes with metal plates that can be stuck to the back of your phone – one round, one rectangular. Those with MagSafe iPhones will have to put their metal plate lower than they think thanks to the wonder of the magnetic fields.
Attaching anything large like an iPhone 12 Pro Max or Galaxy Note is prohibited. Whenever the mount fell off my car and bounced around the cabin, my iPhone 12 Pro never budged from its socket.
No surprises here – I can’t recommend people to buy this mount unless they already have something similar and know for sure their car is set up to accommodate it.
