MagSafe Steelie Orbiter Plus Dash Mount - Magnetic Phone Mount

In this review the Steelie Orbiter Plus Dash Mount is examined as a MagSafe-compatible car phone mount aimed at drivers who want a secure, flexible way to hold and charge their iPhone on the dashboard. The kit combines a Magnetic Socket that aligns with MagSafe magnets, a machined aluminum Dash Mount with a steel ball for unlimited viewing angles, and an adhesive Metal Ring so you can keep a MagSafe charger attached while the phone remains mounted. The bottom line: it is an elegant, low-profile solution for MagSafe users who prioritize adjustability and a magnetic connection.

Key Features

• MagSafe alignment: The Magnetic Socket is designed to align with the magnets in MagSafe iPhones, cases, and chargers so the phone connects consistently without fiddling.
• Power-friendly metal ring: The included Metal Ring adheres to the back of a MagSafe charger so you can charge your phone while it stays magnetically mounted.
• Sturdy ball-and-socket: A smooth steel ball threaded into a machined aluminum base provides a wide range of viewing angles and stable positioning.
• Strong neodymium magnet: The Magnetic Socket uses a powerful neodymium magnet with a silicone center to hold the phone securely in typical driving conditions.
• 3M VHB adhesion: The Dash Mount and Metal Ring both use 3M VHB foam adhesive to stick to the dash and accessories for a low-profile installation.

Who It's For

The Steelie Orbiter Plus is best for iPhone users who own MagSafe-compatible phones, cases, or chargers and want a magnetic dash mount that supports charging while mounted. It suits drivers who value a compact footprint and the ability to swivel their phone into landscape or portrait for navigation, calls, or media.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers with dashboards that are curved, textured, or dirty enough to prevent secure adhesion, and users who need a clamp-style holder for very heavy phone cases or large battery packs that could exceed the magnetic hold.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• MagSafe-compatible Magnetic Socket makes alignment and mounting fast and repeatable.
• Metal Ring allows in-place charging with a MagSafe charger while the phone stays mounted.
• Ball-and-socket design gives smooth, precise adjustment and stable viewing angles.
• Machined aluminum base and 3M VHB adhesive provide a tidy, low-profile installation.

Cons

• Adhesive reliability can vary by dashboard surface, and some buyers report mixed stickiness and durability over time.
