Magvia Grip
A foldable metal magnetic car mount built with a 3M VHB adhesive pad, 16 N52 magnets, and a zinc-alloy hinge. Designed to hold a Pro Max over speed bumps and stay put on a dashboard baking in the sun.
Why it holds
Every part of Magvia Grip was chosen to fix a specific failure point that shows up over and over on mounts like this.
Adhesive fails in the heat
Foam tape softens once a dashboard hits full sun. That's when mounts let go and slide off.
Our fix
An automotive-grade 3M VHB 5952 pad under an anti-slip gel layer. Picked to keep the base bonded when the rest of the car is baking.
Weak magnets drop your phone
A handful of small magnets can't hold a heavy phone once you hit a pothole or a speed bump.
Our fix
A ring of 16 N52 magnets rated for 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) or more. Built to keep a Pro Max-size phone in place over rough roads.
The hinge wobbles after weeks
Plastic joints loosen with everyday use, and within a month your phone stops holding an angle.
Our fix
A metal hinge with a screw you can tighten yourself when it loosens, instead of throwing the mount out.
How it works
Wipe the spot clean with the included cloth, peel the 3M VHB backing, and press the base down for 30 seconds.
Set your phone on the magnetic ring. The 16 N52 magnets are there to grab it and hold it. MagSafe phones snap straight on.
Turn it 360° between portrait and landscape, or fold the whole thing flat against the dashboard when you're done driving.

The part nobody puts in the ad
These are the kinds of complaints that show up again and again on magnetic car mounts in general, not reviews of Magvia. We built Magvia Grip around fixing them.
"It held for a couple weeks, then started drooping every time I hit a bump."
"Worked fine in the store. Once summer hit, it just slid off the dash."
"Doesn't hold my phone at all. It fell right into my lap on the first drive."
"Looked fine until the hinge got loose and wouldn't tighten back up."
Magvia Grip exists because of complaints like these: a stronger magnet for heavier phones, a hotter-rated adhesive, and a hinge with a screw you can actually tighten.
FAQ
That's what the build is for. The base uses 3M VHB 5952, an automotive-grade adhesive rated for high temperatures, plus an anti-slip gel layer underneath. It's designed for a dashboard that sits in direct sun all day.
The gel base plus VHB tape is built to grip textured and soft-touch dashboard surfaces, not just smooth glass or plastic. Clean the spot with the included wipe first for the strongest bond.
Yes. iPhones with MagSafe snap on directly. For any other phone, including Android, attach the included thin metal ring to your case or phone back. The magnets grab the ring the same way.
The VHB pad is designed to come off clean from most dashboard surfaces. If you want to move it to a new spot, use a fresh pad rather than resticking the old one. Used adhesive won't hold as well. If you need a spare pad later, email info@modernikomunikace.com.
