    Ridiculous car mounts, magnets?

    So i've been looking around trying to find a car mount that i like, and it seems like every one is unnecessarily huge and completely ridiculous looking. I just want an extremely small, simple, yet sturdy mount. I looked at the tetrax, which would be great, but it turned out to be like 40 bucks, which seems crazy for how small it is. Unless someone finds it cheaper?

    But anyways, to the point of my post, i can just make one for next to nothing by getting a rear snap on case and a couple rare earth magnets, then attaching one to the rear or the case. What i want to know, is there going to be a problem with having such a strong magnet so close to the back of my phone? I got the Dinc. i donno if it could mess up the screen or something.

    I use the Cellet magnetic phone mount...... It fits your requirements as stated. I love mine... Look for it on Amazon.com

    Hmm. That's not half bad. Still might do it my way tho cuz I can mount a magnet behind the dash and on my case then not have any visible mounts. They're strong enough to do that easily. But does anyone know if it'll mess with my screen or anything?

    Magnets will kill hard drives. I do not know if it will affect your Droid but I would be extremely careful with them. Backup anything you have before trying this.

    the magnets in the mounts are very low powered magnets.... a larger magnet like he is talking about will defiantly do damage.

    Maybe it would be ads if I didn't mount the magnet directly to the case but just the dash and leave a small piece of metal on the case. Seems to be how a lot of the magnetic mounts you buy are.
