MagSafe CD Phone Mount Hollow Ring Design - Compact Car Mount

Our review of the MagSafe CD Phone Mount finds it best for drivers who want a compact, reusable way to hold phones in cars with a spare CD slot. The single biggest reason to buy is its Hollow Ring Design and strong magnetic array, which let it work with MagSafe iPhones and also accommodate phones with small Pop-sockets while keeping the dash area tidy. Installation is straightforward and the double 360 adjustment makes it easy to position a phone for navigation or hands-free calls.

Key Features

• Hollow Ring Design: Allows phones fitted with small Pop-sockets up to 1.56 Dia to sit flush and keeps the car interior looking compact while using the CD port.
• Double 360 Adjustment: Dual ball joints provide near-unrestricted rotation so drivers can angle a phone precisely for visibility and minimal glare.
• 17N52 Industrial Magnets: A strong magnetic ring aligns with MagSafe systems on recent iPhone models for quick one-tap mounting and secure hold.
• Metal Ring Included: Supplies a metal ring for users of non-MagSafe cases or other phone models so those devices can still use the magnetic mount.
• Reuses CD Ports: Makes use of idle CD player slots in most cars, offering a no-adhesive mount option that does not block vents.

Who It's For

This mount is ideal for owners of iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 series who want true MagSafe alignment and rapid one-tap attachment, or for anyone with a compatible phone who prefers a CD-slot mounting point over dashboard clips or vent mounts. It also suits drivers who use a compact Pop-socket and need a hollow ring to avoid interference.

It is less appropriate for vehicles without a compatible CD slot, or for drivers who prefer an adhesive or suction cup mount on the dash or windshield. Users with very large phone grips or Pop-sockets exceeding the stated size should look for a different mount.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact footprint that reuses an idle CD slot and keeps the cabin tidy.
• Strong magnetic hold when used with MagSafe-compatible iPhones, enabling quick one-tap mounting.
• Flexible positioning with double 360 degree adjustment for optimal viewing angles.
• Includes a metal ring so non-MagSafe phones or thick cases can still attach magnetically.

Cons

• Security of the hold varies by case thickness and phone model, so some users report mixed results without proper metal ring placement.
• Requires a CD slot in the vehicle, so it is not universal for all cars.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The MagSafe CD Phone Mount is a practical, good-value option for drivers with a usable CD slot and recent iPhone models who want a tidy, one-tap magnetic solution. Its hollow ring and strong N52 magnets provide flexibility for small Pop-sockets and the double 360 adjustment makes positioning effortless, though users should confirm case compatibility or use the included metal ring for the most reliable hold.
