Pitaka MagCase question

- Sort by reaction score
I ordered today as well, Magcase Pro (iPhone XS Max) and Qi Charger (vent mount).
@Sarah-PITAKA I was a bit disappointed to see a USC-C to USB-A cable included. From a video review I had seen, I thought it was going to be a USB-C to USB-C cable.
Am I supposed to receive thisC to USB-A cable? Will this cable support fast wireless charging?

Yes, the cable sent along with the MagMount Qi was a USB-A to C cable as many people reflected that their devices don't have the C port. But please be assured it actually supports fast wireless charging function but comes with different ends

Ok thank you confirming. I will need to order a different car charger
Can you please confirm if the below car charger will work for fast wireless charging with the Magmount Qi?

I have both of the ones you listed and they work perfectly for fast charging through the mount

Hello Sarah-PITAKA,
Are you able to please share the distance between the (bottom of the) top metal plate in the case, and the (top of the) bottom metal plate please? Of course the middle section allows for wireless charging, but what is the spacing here?
Hey Drag'nGT,
Did you manage to test this out?
I have a similar car mount to your Scosche magnet mount and also want to know whether it is compatible! Hope you had some success...

Paging Sarah-PITAKA... can see you were online in the past day. Are you able to respond to the query posted above in POST #34 please?
Hello! It depends. the non PITAKA case must meet the below requirements
1, it has metal plates embedded. 2. if it has the metal plates, the distance between 2 metal plates must be compatible with the MagMount Qi's magnets as well.
It seems the Mous case doesn't have metal plates embedded? so it's not compatible with the MagMount Qi.
In case anyone was interested in this, the response as follows:
Hello! the distance between the (bottom of the) top metal plate in the case, and the (top of the) bottom metal plate is 71.5mm, let me know if you have other questions
This means it becomes very challenging to use the Pitaka case with other/existing magnet mounts - such as the Scosche - because they have far smaller surface areas that contain the magnets... meaning only either the top metal component, or bottom metal component, of the Pitaka case, will attach to the mount.... but NOT both = not a secure or strong hold.
71.5mm is a huge gap.

But it includes the width of 2 metal plates (20mm)
please check the test we did before for ScoscheHello! Normally the light will go off when you cut off the power in your car, only the engine off means your car still has power on. The light will stay on only when your car is not turned off completely.
Let me know if it's still the same result when you locked it off.

This mount just doesn’t seem to work well with my vehicle. I have vertical vents and when I put the phone on the mount it just falls forward
Hi, can I know if it's the Scosche or MagMount Qi? Since it seldom happens on the MagMount Qi, please kindly advise. Thanks!
Thanks, I suppose there's an incompatibility problem with your car vent and MagMount Qi. please directly contact us at support@ipitaka.com to better solve the problem
Well, 5 months of careful use has seen the case break!!
For such a 'premium' and expensive product, this is completed unexpected. Very difficult to recommend PITAKA based on our experience.
Sarah-PITAKA - what do you have to say about this, and for anyone contemplating your products?

5 months of careful use huh? Like how careful? Did that piece just fall off? Looks like it might have hit something, and a little scuff mark on the bottom too.
wait you so out of the blue a case breaks by itself ? come on now... no case is perfect, but blaming Pitaka for this is not called for !!!
I just took my case apart, and take that plastic lens cover off a lot of times when i clean my pitaka case, i really don't see how it would have chipped like this.
