Has anyone tried using this on a Note 2 or 3 with a Zero Lemon battery installed? I'm wondering if the added weight will make a difference.
No worries, I'll let you know when I get one and try it out.

I use the Arkon mount and have problems now and then with the suction cup failing. This would definitely be a winner if it supported the mammoth Note 2/3 and zero lemon together.

Would be iffy with the added weight imo. Worth a shot though if the plate/magnet are directly next to one another; or throw some ingenuity at it..

My note 3 with a neohybrid case (steel plate is on top of the battery cover & below the case) holds solidly, but feels like it could pop off if there was much more between the magnet & plate.

    Can you provide some personal reviews of negative impacts of having a magnet stuck behind the phone? Heard this has caused issues with Wi-Fi, NFC and also in some cases BT comms.
    I use BT almost exclusively for audio in the car and it's never been an issue at all. There are little-to-no magnetizable parts in your phone so it shouldn't care at all. I just did some oh-so-scientific testing, and the metal plate hasn't become magnetized enough after MANY hours of use, (including a two way cross country trip last month) to affect a small paperclip sliding around on the back at all. I get the exact same signal strength for 4G and 3G on my MotoX, which I also use with the mount. I don't have cell service on my N9000 but WiFi appears unaffected. Yes, I just tested both.

    Considering how many OEM phone cases use a magnet to signal the phone it's attached (iDevices and the OG Droid come to mind), I think it's fairly safe to say there's no real impact on the device's radios. The magnets aren't outrageously powerful. A really hard bump would probably knock the Note 3 off, but it provides hardly any resistance to intentionally pulling it free.

    I don't think it's the magnetism that causes the problems. It's the metal plate that would block some wireless comms. But if you haven't seen any degradation that's good.

    Do you use wireless charging?

    I've had this mount for almost as long as I've had the phone with no issues. The metal plate that allows it to stick on the magnetic pad is the same height/width as the battery, so in theory the only impact will be to your NFC, however I haven't had any issues the few times I have used NFC.

    Depending on the case you use, the rubber may not have much "grip" (mostly with soft-touch cases, however my Spigen UltraFit works out. It isn't that the magnet isn't strong enough, it's just that bumps and vibrations will *slowly* cause the phone to rotate on the pad... this can be avoided by centering the weight, though.
