Has anyone found a car mount (vent mount preferred) that can reliably charge the Flip 3?

I've tried a few and the charging coil doesn't line up to reliably charge the Flip 3. It seems the coil in the phone is lower (centered in bottom half) than standard candy bar phones and even the adjustable chargers can't shift the vertical orientation enough to connect.

To make things worse, most vent mount Qi chargers also have arms that automatically squeeze the phone to hold it tight but that release when Qi isn't active, so the phone just flops around or falls.

No idea about a charger, but just confirming that both the Wireless charging coil and NFC innards are in the bottom half of the phone to allow for the fold. Furthermore, this phone is a tad more susceptible to 'interference' from thicker cases, so some brands that used to work might be finicky on placement or might not work on older, weaker chargers.
