tzumi Magnamount Qi Charger & Phone Mount


$15.00 on Amazon when I got it.  A bargain as
far as I am concerned
tzumi Magnamount Qi Charger & Phone Mount for Car Air Vents – Wireless Fast Charging for iPhone X, 8, 8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Edge S7 S6 Note 8 5 & Any Qi Enabled Smartphone

I had another brand of wireless charger for air vents and it has since died.  It was a bit of a kludge.  This clamped on just fine but I don’t want my vents blocked.  I particularly liked the fact that the vent clamp comes off cleanly and leaves a flat surface.   The magnetic part was then very convenient as I have a spot that is next to a power port and I can just lay the charger in there.  The addition of the metal template on the back of my case allows the phone to stay securely on the charger.   It appears that they want it on the inside of the case.  I would prefer it on the outside of my case which is where I put it.  I suppose it will eventually come off but meanwhile it works great.

From the vendor:

·                        Seamless, Universal Fit: The Magnamount is a powerfully magnetic smartphone holder and Qi-compatible wireless charger that will clip to any air vent of your choice for hands-free driving convenience. It will hold any smartphone, including all iOS and Android devices (such as the iPhone X, 8/8 Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 6s Plus, 6s, 6 SE, Samsung Galaxy S8, Plus S8 Edge, S7, S6, and Note 8 5). There are no bracket arms to adjust, and smartphones of any size and weight will dock and charge seamlessly.
·                        Fast Qi Wireless Charging: The Magnamount Auto Air Vent Charger has an impressive charging capacity for Qi-compatible smartphones, which, when paired with a Qualcomm QC 3.0 car adapter, can provide a fast wireless charge with its 10-watt power output capacity. We provide a Micro-USB charging cable to use with Android devices, and an AC adapter unit must be purchased separately.
·                        Safe, Low-Key Design: At only 2.5” inches on all sides, the Magnamount base is completely hidden from sight while holding a device. This prevents distractions and even empowers you as a safer driver by enabling better GPS usage, enabling easier message viewing and media listening from a safe hands-free position. It includes adhesive magnetic plates which can be used to secure your smartphone to the mount, and its unique rubber magnetic ring and matching plate design provides shock resistance.
·                        Fast, Easy Application: The Magnamount is perfect for anyone who wants a quick dock from a safe distance in seconds. Its charging head swivels on a ball joint which provides 320° degrees of rotation and uses a vent clip fixture that can be used with any vertical or horizontal air vent. The sturdy clip features rubber padding for extra stability and to absorb vibrations from the road, so your view remains steady and unchanging.
·                        The tzumi Promise: At tzumi, we are committed to providing you with the very best in consumer electronics products. We're convinced you will be more than happy with your Magnamount Auto Air Vent Charger, but if you are unsatisfied for any reason, please contact us directly so that we can be of assistance.

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...

3D Printing—Way, Way Cool

You may not be familiar with the term 3D printing but I bet you remember the replicator from Star Trek. Well kiddies, it is no longer just science fiction. Replication exists! Analog Science Fiction and Fact had a great article in the November 2008 edition called: “The 3D Train Wreck”. Thomas A. Easton, the author gave a great overview of the future of 3D printing. Simplistically, take your 3 dimensional CAD drawing and print it out on a laser printer that will print layers with some type of raw material. Each layer is adhered to the previous layer until you have a full three dimensional finished product. There are a variety of existing technologies that are doing this right now. Rapid-prototyping in industry is the biggest market right at the moment. Consider how incredibly convenient it would be to fabricate or replicate things right at home. My Polaris pool sweep needed a part yesterday. The part is unavailable, without the part the sweep doesn’t work. The alternative was to buy a...
