Better phone mount?

Drifting
I bought a T-Design mount when I had a Cayman and it had a snug fit to the right of the PCM. When I traded and got a 911, there seemed to be a hair more space and a looser fit. I just wrapped the insert place of the phone mount in some masking and packing tape and it now fits like a glove. Over time I did have one of the foam pads fall off but is a non-issue for me since I use a case on my phone and it still stays secure. You do lose use of the left cup holder, but not a big deal for me.
Also had a foam pad fall off but I had some left over from something else and just added it back. I like the mount enough to mess with it's shortcomings.

We would hear if it was a problem. We sell a lot of those and our handmade holders use 20 times stronger magnets then competition's standard tiny chinese magnetic pieces.

Yes, this is just ridiculous woodoo stuff. Mobile phones do not use magnetic tape for a long time and so not affected by magnets.

@t-design Hey, I'm just seeing this for the first time. I've been pretty disappointed by the hold strength of the Rennline unit. I use an Otterbox Defender on my Iphone 12. Will the magnet on your unit securely hold my phone if the metal plate is mounted inside the case between the phone and the case?
Here's a comparison of magnets we use - 2 big rectangular N52 magnets (strongest grade) vs 4 weak grade magnets all the competition use. Hope it makes it clear why it has superior hold. We have to set our magnets in epoxy, as otherwise it would just rip through the front

^^^ I have a clear case (Torras Patrous Series) with my iPhone 12 Pro Max attached to the T-Design phone mount and it stayed put in my 991.1 C2S. I didn't need to used a metal plate. Hope that help.

Yes, it will. T-Design9 magnets should not be compared with others, the magnets are so strong, it's ridiculous to think why nobody ever thought about investing in decent magnets but rather focus everything on design and marketing practically weak magnets with all sorts of funny contraptions that have zero practical real-world use.

Again, Rennline only way to go IMO. Haven't had an issue with mine in years.
You do make an interesting point though. In fact it's the EXACT point I make regarding the Blendmount for your RD. It's ridiculously overpriced! I have yet to have an issue with my "china" mount and it was 1/3 the price. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing you boys are in the Blendmount camp?

I made my own, the exchange rate and the cost to ship to Canada makes both mounts ridiculously expensive! It works.
