I really want these contact chargers to work but it’s too much work for so little a charge and wearing a case of almost any kind throws it off even more.
They make flat plastic plates with 3M adhesive backing.
You 3M the plate to wherever on the car … usually the dash … and then suction mount the phone holder to the flat smooth plate.
Works quite nicely.
It’s not that hard to get the flat 3M plate off the dash or wherever with a little goo gone and a flathead screwdriver ir nail file.
Removing one never messed up any car I drove, but I wouldn’t do it on an expensive new car or anything because you want those to look kind of pristine I guess and there’s no guarantee it won’t leave a mark
on the other hand I drive elderly junk so messing around with stuff like that in my car is just fine
@f00l 3M has never made any adhesive that could survive a Texas summer on the dash of a vehicle. And I can say that despite having access to their professional lines.
For those concerned about mounting to a textured dash, a couple of deck screws worked great for me. Also easy to relocate.

Suction mounting. On a textured-surface vinyl-over-fiber-backing dashboard.
Riiiiiight.
Yeah, that’s gonna work well every time.
</sarcasm>
Yeah, I’ve never had anything that was suction-mounted stay up long enough. (Insert obligatory “that’s what she said” here.)
/showme that’s what she said

@werehatrack It comes with an adhesive plate to ensure a flat surface
@f00l Think you’re mistaken. Pretty sure you’ve never driven me.

@werehatrack
I live in Texas 3 AM adhesive survived in my vehicle, but I do crack the windows
@phendrick
I don’t think you or Detroit elderly junk or Japanese elderly junk or Korean, elderly junk or German elderly junk
so you don’t fit the profile for my daily driver vehicle
