Does ANYTHING stick to this phone?

[Florp]

I'm trying to attach a magnetic plate (for a vent mount) to the back of my honor 8, and this glass surface is like magic, nothing will stick to it! The double-sided tape that came with the plate held for about 5 seconds; hot-glue (my usual fool-proof solution) popped off instantly. Super-glue doesn't bond to the glass.

Has anyone found a reliable way to attach things to the back glass?

(Side note: Pretty as the glass case is, I would never buy buy a phone with it again. Too slippery and too fragile, I cracked the back glass within 2 days of getting the phone.)

Put it inside a case..... Not pretty but then again gluing something on the back isn't either.

Lol. No doubt. Try Amazon. There are some great deals on good lookin cases.

I did it with a simple black tpu case from AliExpress on my moto x style, a metal plate under the case and on a magnet vent holder in the car, worked great could barely notice the plate.

Silicon case and a slim magnet in the back.
But I wouldn't use magnets as it might mess up with the sensors. I´m just guessing here...

The plate you put under the case is just metal and the magnet is on the holder you stick in the vent of your car. Sensors seems to work without any issues.

Anyway I'm not risking it. I know a few people who use magnets, but it's too much money to risk it.

That's a nice and simple solution.
Won't the metal plate worsen your connectivity? That is why there are 'antenna lines' on many recent phones right?

It's not noticeable if there's any connection drop. At least from the people I know. Also it's only for car mount purposes.

No I have no issues at all it works, costs 2 bucks from AliExpress.

I personally would go for the clip ones with the windshield suck cups, but it comes down to personal preference.
