I agree that the magnetic car mount is THE best feature of Qi2 which is why I hope to get such a case one day even though my budget phone has no wireless charging.

Just be aware that as your car ages, the plastic vents get brittle and WILL break off with this mount. Our car is 20 years old and I tried a vent mount once and it broke 2 of my plastic vents clean off. If you can, rather get a window mounted holder.

Good point but I have always found that window sucker mounts *always* drop off sooner or later and don't trust them with my valuable phone. Don't like the idea of having such a strong magnet next to the sensitive electronics of my phone either. I do use a Kenu Airframe for occasional day to day use but mostly just pop the phone in a convenient cup holder.

Given modern cars let you connect the phone to a built in ICE touchscreen and have steering wheel controls the need for a mount at all is really obsolescent.
