Hey guys it's Olivia and I'm back with another video.
So last week I uploaded a video of me swapping out this popsocket for this one
on my Otter + Pop Stardust case. And so I did that with every intention of making this video right after.
So basically I wanted to paste something over the popsocket attached to my phone
and I didn't want to put it on this one, so I swapped it out for this one. Basically I was
in the market for a plain black popsocket because I was going to cover up whatever design
of any popsocket that I purchased, but for some unknown reason on Staples.ca the black
popsocket was more expensive than all the others, so I ended up with this one.
Anyways, in this video I'm going to turn this popsocket into a magnetic popsocket, but before we get
into this week's video be sure to subscribe to my channel because I make new videos every Monday.
I make anywhere from Popsocket videos like this, to Uber Eats Driver videos, to YouTube Tips videos
and with all that being said let's get into this week's video.
So basically I went on Amazon and I purchased this right here and let's open it up.
I purchased a magnetic car mount for my car. So I know that the iPhone 12 line up has MagSafe,
so you wouldn't necessarily need one of those metal discs to glue on to your phone in order
to stick it to your dashboard, however, I do not think that the magnet is going to stick
through this case. So my idea is to take this kit, take the metal disc and stick it
on to my popsocket, and then I'll be able to stick my phone to my car dashboard.
So let's open this up. Ok, so I'm just going to unbox this magnetic vent clip. Open up the box
and here we have it. So this is the part that I am going to stick on to my popsocket.
So this is a magnet; sticks like so. So if I bring in my phone and I take this off
and I peel off the backing,
it's not quite the size of the popsocket but honestly that's ok.
And there we go. So now I'm going to take this out to my car, clip it on and see if we can get this to stick on the dash.
Ok, so I'm in my car and I have my magnetic clip
as well as my new magnetic popsocket. And so if we look here on my dash, this was my
old vent clip and you put your phone in like this and you go like so.
And it works for the most part, it's just this phone is bigger than my old phone; I used to have an iPhone 8
and so a lot of times it's just too big and it just slips out and my phone falls
on the floor while I'm driving and a bunch of stuff that I don't want to have to deal with anymore.
So I'm going to take this out, take this off, and I'm going to clip this right here.
And then moment of truth; there we go. That's it; I know, very anticlimactic but
that's honestly it for real. It's just going to stick there and now I have a magnetic vent clip
and I can just go about my day like so. Also, just to test to see if it would stick
using just MagSafe; so I'm going to take my phone case off
and see if it sticks using just MagSafe.
Ok, it kind of slides down a little, ooh, or a lot. Ok, so either the magnet
isn't strong enough or the phone is too heavy or I don't know, but it doesn't really hang on with MagSafe.
But if I throw my case back on and I stick it like so, it stays.
I'm going to do a quick drive test to see if it stays on when I drive, so let's do that real quick.
Ok, so I'm just going to go for a quick drive, just around the block, nothing too far;
but just to see if it stays. So I've just made a left turn and it seems to be ok.
Going to make a right turn;
seems good.
Going to make another left.
Turning left again.
Another left.
And then I'm going to reverse back into my driveway.
And there we go. One thing I will say that I just noticed right now; it covers my Park button. So I drive a Prius
and Park is a button and not a part of this gear shift. So now that I'm noticing, it does cover that button.
So that is probably going to be kind of annoying or I can move this a little bit higher.
And there we go. I've now moved it to a better spot,
it doesn't cover my Park button and it is sticking on even when I drive.
So yes, that is all for the in-car test and let's go back inside.
Ok, so that is that; I now have my magnetic popsocket.
And if I take off the case real quick, you can see that the blue of the magnet
is similar to the blue of my phone so it kind of matches which is nice.
So yeah, that's it; that's all for this week's video I was able to use the popsocket I already had,
stick a circle on to it, and now I can use it with a magnetic dash mount in my car.
So that's all for this week's video I hope you enjoyed it if you did give it a thumbs up.
