    Finding the right phone holder is a real pain

    With this product, there is no phone holder, only a small pin somewhere were it suits, and you can barely see anything. No phone suction kit falling off your windscreen.

    Costs 12 euros from Halfords

    Magnets you stick on your phone/tablet

    Surface cleaner wipes provided.

    Attach the magnet to your phone/case.
    Comes with double side tape, good enough for flat plastic, but not for vinyl.
    On vinyl material, I would recommend you to use superglue. Which I did.

    All good.

    Looks good but would the magnet be strong enough to hold the phone in place if driving on a not so smooth road?

    I've yet to hear of anything good coming from putting a magnet in close proximity to anything with a speaker

    Keep them away from your cards in your wallet, or you could find they stop working at a very inconvenient moment.
    I am not a fan of magnets for this kind of thing, too many sideeffects.

    Not a bother at all actually it holds very very well surprisingly

    No speaker here. Not big enough to affect the radio either.

    This is a tiny magnet sitting on a piece of plastic. No side affect that I am aware off.

    Rare earth magnets are tiny but very powerful.
    If that magnet on your phone comes anywhere near any magnetic card (Debit/credit/Visa, security card etc) the information will be gone.
    I would think looking at that picture that the convex buttons on your phone case are ferrite and the actual magnet is the gold concave bit attached to the dash.
    Which would be better.

    You're forgetting the ones in the phone ;)
