Strengths

— Seriously strong magnet that holds heavy phones without wobble
— Compact, low-profile design that stays out of the way
— Sticky-gel suction base mounts on dash or windshield

Watch-outs

— Mostly cheap plastic build that does not feel premium
— Not MagSafe-native; relies on an adhesive metal plate
— Superseded by the stronger, MagSafe-ready iTap 3

How they stack up

iOttie iTap 2 Magnetic Dashboard Mount

The older, budget sibling of the iOttie iTap 3, with a strong magnet but no native MagSafe support and a more basic build. It holds nearly as well as the iTap 3 and Spigen OneTap 3 for less money, but lacks the charging of the iOttie Velox Pro Wireless and the rugged clamp of the RAM X-Grip.

iOttie Velox Pro Wireless Dash & Windshield Mount

The premium charging mount of the group, adding wireless charging and active cooling that the iOttie iTap 3, iOttie iTap 2, Spigen OneTap 3, and RAM X-Grip all lack. Its magnetic hold rivals the iTap 3, but it costs several times more, which is why it sits second to the better-value iTap 3.
