I've never been a fan of magnetized iPhone mounts in cars because they require special iPhone cases that stick to the base of the mount to keep the smartphone in place. Since I enjoy using Apple's own leather and silicone cases, I haven't had the urge to ditch a case for one that would be compatible with a car mount.
Although Scosche's Magic Mount Pro Charge still requires a few unruly magnetic accessories to use, it's come close to convincing me that I need to make a few concessions so that I can get the advantages of hands-free iPhone use in my car. The Magic Mount also doubles as a Qi-enabled charging platform, so it will work with any compatible smartphone or case.
The Magic Mount comes with two options for installation: a suction cup with an extended reach (for the upper dash board or lower windshield) and a shorter arm with a sticky pad (for the infotainment center area). The initial unboxing and setup for the Magic Mount is a bit overwhelming, with nearly a dozen different parts and accessories making up the process: a metal case mount, metal smartphone mount, wire clip cable organizers, suction mount, sticky mount, charging pad, 12V car power adapter, micro-USB to USB charging cable, and even cleaning wipe to prepare the intended area for the mount.
The charging pad itself attaches easily to the two mount attachments with a ball and screw "tension collar" system. You then can attach the micro-USB cable into the charging pad, and feed the cord into the car adapter to enable wireless charging when you place your phone on the pad. As a note, Scosche also provided me with a separate fast car charger, which features both a USB-C and USB-A port to charge two devices simultaneously. I found both this car charger and the charger included with the Magic Mount (which has just a single USB-A connection) to be reliable throughout my testing period.

For the metal mounts, you have to choose between placing them directly on your smartphone or on a case. For obvious reasons I didn't want to attach a large black metal pad to the back of my iPhone X (Scosche does promise this is completely safe), so I opted for the case option. This includes placing two smaller metal rectangles on the back of a case of your choosing, which will help magnetize the iPhone to the charging pad and enable Qi charging through compatible cases (which are pretty much any thin iPhone cases, including all of Apple's first party leather and silicone options).
The installation process for the metal strips was easy enough, since Scosche provides a helpful paper guide with arrows that point you where to place the strips depending on the size of your iPhone or Android phone. Once you have the alignment right, you remove a film on the back of the measurement tool, press hard to attach the metal pieces, and when it's removed your case will have two new pads permanently attached to the back. The process appears largely the same for attaching directly to an iPhone.

Reviews for "The Science Behind Magid Sand Toys: Exploring Physics in the Sandbox"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magid sand toy. The quality of the materials was very poor, and it didn't hold up well in the sand. The shovel and rake broke within minutes of use, and the mold shapes didn't hold their shape. Overall, it felt cheaply made and not worth the money.
2. Robert - 1 star - I don't recommend the Magid sand toy at all. The colors started fading after only a few uses, and the pieces didn't fit together properly. It was frustrating to try and build sandcastles with mold shapes that didn't stay in place. I expected better quality for the price and was extremely disappointed.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Magid sand toy didn't live up to my expectations. The handle of the shovel snapped off the first time we used it, and the rake was flimsy and didn't effectively scoop up sand. The mold shapes were also smaller than I anticipated, making it difficult to create anything substantial. I wouldn't recommend this toy for serious sandcastle builders.
4. Michael - 2 stars - I was not impressed with the Magid sand toy. The plastic felt very thin and cheap, and the molds were difficult to push into the sand. The shovel and rake were also too short and uncomfortable to use for an extended period of time. Overall, I found it to be a subpar sand toy and would recommend looking for a better option.
