Thanks for the info. Thickness looks plenty thin. :) If it is easy to measure the L & W of the two metal pieces, that would be helpful. If not, I can extrapolate from the impression if I know if your phone is the bigger iPhone 6 vs. iP 4 or 5.

Is the base magnet the same size as the larger plate that you use? Any idea if the holding power (for touching top & bottom of phone) is lessened much if the smaller plate is used under a case?

Thanks!

Yeah, I've got the iP6. You can use either magnet but it won't hold the greatest if you only have a corner of the base touching the magnet, that's why I use both. I put the larger one slightly higher than the middle of my phone and put the smaller one below it. *not sure if you can tell from the pics* but it makes it more versatile as far as areas of the phone that it'll hold. I'm sure it would hold fine with the larger one, but in my case, why not use both.

Using both... I had not though of that. That would allow me to leave a gap in the middle for the NFC signal to get out. :)

Well there you go. Also, my Apple Pay (NFC) works flawlessly through the magnets and the case. You should have no issue.

I'm not familiar with 3m, which this uses right?

So what happens if you change your mind about where you stick the mounting base. Won't it lose some of its stickyness?

I'm sure it will lose some of its stickiness. I would just test certain spots first before actually mounting it. Maybe holding it in place with blue painters tape or something.

When I post pics up here I never know how they are going to be oriented. That one came out sideways

Thanks for the tip on the Scoshe. Picked one up yesterday for $15 from Wal-Mart (god I hate that store) and mounted it right next to the mft -- I'll post some pics later.

I don't use or like cases on my iphone, so the small plate works out perfect.

Not the best quality pic, but it works. ;) The mount looks a little bigger in the pic just due to perspective; it's about 1.5".




After driving a few hundred miles yesterday, I'm sold on it and I'm real pick about these things.

Is that view not blocked by your steering wheel? It is for mine
