I have a metal bumper on mine also, the charger I bought off of Amazon doesn’t stick very well. That back is just too slick, I should be getting a a matte skin from Slickwraps in on Monday. I’m pretty sure that should help a bit. I had put the clear sticker that you would put under a metal plate and it actually stuck to the magnet better. However I didn’t like the look and only used it to experiment.
Do you have a case on your phone? How is the magnetic pull, is it a strong connection?
That thing looks nice but it's a shame Belkin charges $40 for a magnet and didn't include the charger part.
I agree. Though it didn’t stop me from buying it, as I have a wired airplay connection anyway.
I believe that's why Apple added that "orientation" magnet below the circle array of magnets. It's there to help hold the phone when in car mounts, etc..
The ESR HaloLock doesn't have the orientation magnet and with an Apple Silicone Case, very solid hold without rotation
Is the ESR HaloLock a stronger hold than the Magsafe puck itself? Till they come out with a fully Magsafe compatible 15w charger, I was just gonna use my puck taped to the dash. Time will tell how well the phone holds.
I don't have an Apple MagSafe puck but the hold on the HaloLock is quite strong (and black works better with my dash, and probably most people's, than white)
Yeah, black would look better. Let me know how the 7.5w charging does while you are using GPS and streaming. I realize it won't fast charge, but so long as battery level doesn't go down, and hopefully goes up a little, I'd be ok with it.
Before the 12 Pro, I was using a Scosche Magic Mount Charge (also 7.5) as a wireless charging mount and found that it would still charge even with GPS + streaming.
No. I’m getting 15w with the oem Puck. But the ESR unit is limited to 7.5w. Which if t keeps the phone charging is fine for me.
