Let’s dive right into my unbiased, detailed observations of the Magic Mount by Soch. I’ll break down why this product has enthralled me from the first use and continues to do so in daily life with its easy setup, versatile use, and dependable performance.

Why Magic Mount is My Favorite: From Personal to Work Vehicles

With numerous options out there, it might be intimidating to choose the best film mount for your vehicle. But, why do I vouch for this particular mount by Soch? In short, because of its uncomplicated design, solid grip, and robust built. I found that the mount fits seamlessly into my personal truck with utmost ease, to the point that it feels like a part of the vehicle itself.

I also have it installed in my work vehicle, and it stands as firmly there as it does in my truck. So, no matter what vehicle you drive , this could potentially be a good asset for you.

Purchasing Guide: How to Get the Magic Mount for Yourself

It’s important to make an informed decision, and knowing where to find a product is essential. Some might wonder where they can purchase a Magic Mount by Soch. While I won’t mention any specifics, the product is available in many online retail stores. You can find a link (usually provided) in the product description to make a purchase.

What about the cost? Well, without mentioning the exact price, I can say that the mount is affordable, considering its high-quality build and design.

Bear in mind

• Always verify the authenticity of the product before buying
• Shopping from authorized sellers guarantees you’ll receive a genuine product
• Be aware of the market price to avoid overpaying

Setting It Up

• Magic Mount setup is user-friendly and straightforward
• Mount offers adjustability to different vehicle surfaces
• Package includes metal plates and cleaning wipes

Setting up the Magic Mount by Soch is quite a straightforward process that anyone can handle regardless of their technical ability. The thought and care put into the product design are evident even in the installation process. Let’s break it down.

Quick and Easy Installation: Get Your Magic Mount Running

First things first, the setup process is seamless. There is a peel and stick mechanism at the back of the Magic Mount that makes it the perfect fit for your vehicle. You don’t need any expert tools or extensive knowledge to get it up and running. Without complicating things, I must admit, the setup process is as user-friendly and intuitive as it gets.

Customization to Your Necessity: Adjustable and Flexible Features

Another noteworthy feature is the flexibility offered by some tiny tabs that allow you to adjust the Mount according to the surface you are sticking it to. Not all vehicle surfaces are perfectly flat, but the Magic Mount has got you covered regardless.

The Unpacking: What Comes with the Magic Mount

1. Metal Plates

There are these metal plates included in the box along with the Mount. These plates stick to your phone and are available in two different sizes to match the size of your device perfectly. There exists a large plate that you can install if Q1 charging is not a primary requirement, and a smaller one if it is.

2. Cleaning Wipes

The box also features some cleaning wipes to ensure that your phone surface is clean before you stick the metal plate onto it. This is a thoughtful addition, considering that a clean surface is crucial for secure attachment.

3. Adhesive Part & Plate

We also have an extra adhesive part that you can use for alternate placement if you change your mind later about where you want the Mount. The plate is, notably, very sticky; this is how it can secure your phone, even through bumps and sudden stops, without causing any damage.

In summary, the setup process is unambiguous and user-oriented, following a thoughtful design. All things considered, setting up the Magic Mount by Soch is literally as easy as making a cup of coffee.

Unique Features

• Magic Mount includes two metallic plates for devices
• Smaller plate compatible with Q1 charging
• Metallic plates require clean, dust-free surface

What sets the Magic Mount by Soch apart from the rest isn’t just its design or functionality, but the impressive slew of unique features it brings to the table. Let’s delve deeper and explore each one of them.

The Metallic Plate: The Magic Behind the Mount

In the box, you will find two different metallic plates, which you can attach to your phone. These discs serve as the magic ‘connector’ between your device and the mount, creating a robust bond, strong enough to withstand even the roughest of terrains. The first plate Is larger and perfect for those indifferent about wireless charging.

Compatibility with Q1 Charging: Decoding the Small Plate

For users who are irrevocably dependent on Q1 charging, fear not! The Magic Mount provides a versatile solution with a smaller metallic plate, easily attachable to your phone. Although smaller in size, it holds as strongly to the mount ensuring your device is secure while also enabling your Q1 charging function. It’s an added convenience I found really helpful.

Now that’s what I call user-friendliness. Tailoring to the different requirements of consumers without compromising on functionality, the Magic Mount definitely scores high in my books. However, I must add that these metallic plates need to be stuck onto an immaculate and dust-free surface for best results, so ensure you clean your device surface beforehand.

Practicality Check

• Magic Mount performs well in challenging terrains
• Mount may struggle with larger, heavier devices
• Extra adhesive part less durable in extreme temperatures

Today, we’re diving deep into some real-world tests and seeing just how practical this Magic Mount truly is.

Testing Durability: A Rough Terrain Test with My Magic Mount

One of the key features of a good car phone mount is its durability, especially in challenging driving scenarios. And trust me, I’ve driven across some pretty tough terrains with the Magic Mount. The verdict? It performed remarkably well.

The phone stayed firmly in place without any wobbles or bounces, thanks to the sturdy grip of the mount. However, a fair point to note here is how well it can handle larger phones or gruffer roads. The one size preventive fitment may restrict its usage for larger or heavier devices.

Replacement Made Easy: Utilizing the Extra Adhesive Part

The Magic Mount does come with an extra adhesive part. The company clearly thought about user needs. You know, just in case you aren’t happy with your first placement of the mount or if the adhesive wears out in the long run. However, the adhesive part isn’t as strong as the initial one that comes attached to the mount.

In my experience, the additional adhesive worked fine, but I can foresee an issue if your car faces extreme temperature changes, which could potentially affect the adhesive’s durability.

In summary, the Magic Mount does offer great practicality with its durability and flexibility. But certain aspects, like the adhesive strength and handling larger devices, could use a touch of improvement.

Installation Guide

• Magic Mount installation is straightforward and intuitive
• Mount features adjustable tabs and firm grip mechanism
• Adjustments for user comfort and organization included

Step-by-Step Installation: Fixing the Magic Mount in Your Vehicle

The process of installing the Soch’s Magic Mount is rather straightforward and intuitive. It starts with the peel-and-stick tabs at the back of the mount. Before applying these, ensuring the surface on your vehicle is clean is crucial. The mount comes with cleaning wipes, so no worries there.

With a clean surface ready, you proceed to take off the tab’s protective layer. Once this is done, it’s a simple matter of now attaching the mount to your desired location. It’s noteworthy that the Magic Mount has little flexible tabs that you can adjust if your surface isn’t completely flat.

Upon sticking the mount onto the surface, apply some good pressure and wiggle it back and forth, this helps to ensure a firm and solid grip. The instructions suggest holding it down for 30-60 seconds, a guideline which seems equally applicable in real testing scenarios.

Adjusting and Making It Work for You

• Wing Nut: Once you have the mount in place, next comes the tuning stage. First up, there’s the little wing nut. You can tighten or loosen this to get the best fit. Be careful not to overtighten it, though – good firm hand tightening should be perfectly ample.


• Clip for Charging Cords: The mount also provides a convenient clip for your extra charging cords. This can be pretty handy in keeping things organised in the vehicle.


• Attaching the Metal Plate: Finally, the practical test of the mount comes with the iPhone. Here the magnetic pull of the mount shines through. With minimal effort, the phone sticks to the Magic Mount, and the hold is surprisingly well off.

The Magic Mount seems to have considered user comfort and needs well with these adjustments and variations, allowing each user to customize the mount as per their unique requirements.

Aesthetics and Feel

• Magic Mount is aesthetically appealing and functional
• Robust build with smooth, premium feel
• Seamlessly integrates with vehicle interior

Switching focus to the aesthetics and feel of the Magic Mount just for a bit. The interesting part is how this device is both functional and visually appealing – a quality often missing in many vehicle phone mounts.

Stylish yet Functional: The Look and Feel of the Magic Mount

Let’s introduce the visual attributes first. The sleek design of the Magic Mount effortlessly stands out, given its appealing simplicity and modern minimalist design. The mount does not throw around any clunky vibe, instead contributes to the sleek interior ambiance of the vehicle. What strikes me the most is the Soch logo at the front giving it a subtle nod to the brand.

Feeling-wise, the robust build quality is evident as soon as you touch the mount. And, of course, the metallic plates give it a premium feel that goes hand in hand with its robustness. It almost feels like this mount is built to last. The mount’s elegantly designed structure isn’t just an aesthetic charm though; it houses a secret function. It’s this little bendable wing nut that litterally allows you to fix your phone at any angle you need, making your driving experience a breeze.

The Little Detail: How it Blends in the Interiors

Mounting it onto your vehicle’s dashboard, you’ll notice how effortlessly the Magic Mount camouflages with the interior. Installed in my Toyota Tacoma, the mount merged so well it almost felt like it was an original part of the vehicle. The black exterior of the mount offers a classy touch, seamlessly matching it to the interior color scheme. It’s a thoughtful detail, especially for those of us who like to maintain the uniform aesthetic of our vehicle.

But you must remember, the aesthetics of a product are a very subjective area. The sleek design and subtle elegance worked for me, they hit the right note in maintaining a balance between looking good and being functional. For others, the appearance might register differently, which is why I recommend checking it out in person to truly appreciate its design and feel.

In conclusion, the Magic Mount’s design and feel is a perfect blend of style and functionality. It offers the flexibility you would want from a phone mount, without compromising on the look and feel.

My Personal Experience

• Magic Mount features adjustable, peel and stick installation
• Appreciates the design, practicality, and longevity of Magic Mount
• Compatible with Q1 charging

Sharing unbiased and personal accounts of product experiences can help you make informed decisions. Keeping that in mind, here’s a detailed recap of my encounters with the Magic Mount.

An Intimate Interaction: How I Use My Magic Mount

Every product comes with a personal story behind it. For me, the Magic Mount has always been a reliable companion that made my driving experiences smoother. With adjustable, peel and stick features, installing it is just a breeze. Its metal plate firmly sticks to the phone, making my vehicle cabin less cluttered. Whether rough trails or smooth highways, my phone stays put, keeping me connected and safe during the journey.

My Third Magic Mount: Why I Constantly Revert to It

In all honesty, I have gone through more than one of these mounts – this being my third. It’s not because they break or falter, far from it. The Magic Mount prevails in terms of design, practicality, and longevity . It’s just that once I experienced the convenience and functionality of it in my personal vehicle, I wanted the same for my work cars as well.

The standout feature, for me, is its superb grip and stability. During my time on off-road terrains, I never once experienced the phone bouncing or falling out of the mount. It ensured peace of mind and safe driving, both critical to me.

So, is there anything I would change? Not much, really. If being critical, I would appreciate a variety of color choices to match different vehicle interiors. But that’s more of a personal aesthetic preference than a functional necessity.

One more thing to mention – its compatibility with Q1 charging is a bonus. For someone who often relies heavily on mobile applications while driving, this feature is truly a lifesaver.

Overall, I can confidently say that the Magic Mount by Soch is a product I genuinely cherish. Its top-notch quality, practicality, and user-friendliness have helped me in numerous situations. And I believe it could do the same for you!

Experience with Metallic Plates

Not to mention, the peel and stick ease of usage further simplifies the whole process even for those who may not be tech-savvy.
