I use WAYS instead of a radar detector so I don't want to look away from the road to see what is ahead. This magnetic mount is perfect for me, puts the phone in the line of sight, and is legal with CAs new laws. It holds my 7+ without issue on rough roads.
There are some magnetic mounts for under $10 on amazon/ebay. They use a strong magnet base and thin light metal plate on your phone. I've used them, and the plate can go between the phone and the case. You could put one of those on a proclip mount. They tend to work better when it's more vertical, as when the phone is on an inclined mount like I have, it can spin a bit.
I made a custom sleeve for my phone that included a built in inductive charger, and 3d printed it. It sits on a proclip mount.
Cool! I want to do something like this as well, using an inductive (i.e., wireless) charger in the car. I hate trying to plug that little bitty, orientation-specific USB plug into the bottom of the phone in the dark.
T-Design now has a magnetic wireless charger for 911/Boxster/Cayman. Unlike chinese mass market with tiny little magnets, that one is designed for spirited driving/super strong grip. It's absolutely unique in-house design. As minimalist as humanly possible (with strong grip). About size of the credit card and no visible cables. Made in USA. http://t-design9.com/wireless_charger_porsche.html
Hmm for something touted as so “minimalist” it sure has a big cheesy logo all over it. Wish it was just plain black and truly minimalist.
I use a cheap magnetic mount. I used it in a different car before my 991. I'm not sure if I'll replace it with the Rennline one, or just keep using it. It's OK and does what I need it to, I guess. I certainly like the magnetic mounts more than any of the other styles I've tried.
I like how Rennlist people say what they think, without circling around it!
It's about size of the credit card. It can hold the phone securely on a race track. There are no cables, and ugly parts or any details sticking out.Yes I call it minimalist. Compare to this for some perspective
What part of logo do you find cheesy? In person - it's VERY subdued graphics. And we thinking about making text smaller. But it's already pretty small. May be pictures doesn't relay scale. Snince the device is pretty small, text looks bigger... But we do need our name there. Since we don't have a billion dollar budget - we have to show our name.
I think you’ve done a great job. It’s a very clever solution that I’d be interested in. However, I absolutely would not buy it because of the logo and Monaco graphics. By putting them on there, you’ve made just ‘un-minimalisted’ it. The graphics reduce your potential customer base significantly - Meant as constructive criticism.
