W2DIY001 - How to make your in-car magnetic phone holder MagSafe compatible

Magnetic phone holders are simple and versatile. However, they often need you to stick a metal plate on, which makes your phone or case aesthetically unpleasant. In this video, I would like to show you how I make my in-car magnetic phone holder MagSafe compatible with style. This should be applicable for iPhone 12 and 13. Hope this will inspire you for your own little DIY project.

All items can be sourced from eBay:

I believe you could source those on other platforms too.

Maaaytte!! Never in a million years did I think I’d find a YouTube vid for EXACTLY my problem. And what’s more all your links for eBay are Aussie too!
I just upgraded to a new iPhone 14 with a MagSafe cover and really didn’t want to glue on a metal plate to the back.

Bloody legend! Thanx! 🇦🇺

show us how it works pulling the phone away from the holder. Does the thing you built come with the phone and leave the original magnet on the mount or what? I want this to work but...

Just wanted, I have a more better solution, I recently purchased something type of mount, if you happen to use cheap apple wallet with MagSafe, you can stick the plates inside the wallet, since the it holds strong. I use the Apple leather case, it holds the wallet pretty strong, Hope this helps

There are plenty of ways to do this... One is U could use two carbon boards and sandwich the parts in the middle, then u could avoid dealing with the adhesive film on the magnets. it'd look way better and protect the magnets from falling off as time goes by.

what you should do is -- buy a magsafe charger and stick that piece of metal on, then your phone will not just hold there but also charge when you drive.

I love this, I only have to wonder though, your adapter made the metal plate off centered. Can the phone still be properly held horizontally?

Where did you buy the magnets? Link please

Interesting 🤨. But the damn music needs to go

[AndysTV]

Is that carbon fiber plate or just plastic?

[DjRaulio]

This video is more about removing adhesive than the phone holder…

Just get a magsafe vent mount or charger 😅😅

worried about covering the logo you never see over functionality. definitely an i world problem

My solution was way easier.. I bought a 59$ Journey Magsafe compatible wireless charging car mount from JBHIFI . Even holds my heavy brick of an 14 pro max well. And charges it at the same time.
