Baseus Magnetic Car Phone Holder C40141403113-00 Review

For weeks, I’ve been testing the Baseus Small Ears Series Magnetic Bracket (model number: C40141403113-00), a magnetic car phone holder promising hands-free driving and secure phone placement. This review dives into its performance, design, and overall value, sharing my experiences from daily use.

The Baseus magnetic car holder boasts several key features designed for convenience and safety. The compact design is a definite plus; it doesn’t obstruct my view or clutter my dashboard. The 360-degree rotating ball joint allows for versatile phone positioning, crucial for optimal navigation viewing. The strong neodymium magnets hold my phone firmly, even on bumpy roads – a significant improvement over some weaker magnetic holders I’ve tried. The inclusion of two different metal plates is also a thoughtful addition, catering to different phone sizes and road conditions.

The 3M adhesive is exceptionally sticky, ensuring a secure bond to the dashboard. Installation was a breeze, and the instructions were easy to follow (although the English in the manual could be improved). The silicone pad on the holder’s surface prevents scratches and keeps my phone from slipping.

In terms of performance, the Baseus holder consistently exceeded my expectations. The magnetic grip is strong enough to withstand even aggressive braking and sharp turns. I’ve used it with both my iPhone 13 and a Samsung Galaxy S22, and both phones remained securely in place throughout various driving conditions. The 360-degree rotation is genuinely useful, allowing me to easily adjust the phone’s orientation for navigation or video calls.

However, there were a few minor drawbacks. On extremely hot days, I noticed a slight reduction in the adhesive’s grip, though it never resulted in the phone falling. Also, the size of the metal plates could be a little larger, providing a bit more surface area for the magnets to engage. Removing the phone can sometimes require slightly more force than I’d prefer.

Pros:

  • Strong magnetic hold
  • Compact and unobtrusive design
  • 360-degree rotation for flexible positioning
  • Easy installation
  • Protective silicone pad
  • Good value for the price

Cons:

  • Adhesive grip might slightly decrease in extreme heat
  • Metal plates could be slightly larger for improved magnet engagement
  • Removing the phone can require a bit more force

Overall, the Baseus Magnetic Car Phone Holder C40141403113-00 offers a compelling combination of strong performance, convenient features, and affordable pricing. Despite a few minor shortcomings, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. I would confidently recommend this holder to anyone seeking a reliable and versatile solution for hands-free driving.
