Video Review: Knomo's Mag Case and Mag Mount Let You Stick Your iPhone Anywhere

Friday November 16, 2018 6:09 PM PST by Juli Clover

For our latest video review, we went hands-on with the Leather Mag Case and Mag Mount, designed by Knomo. For those unfamiliar with Knomo, it's a site that specializes in high-quality Apple accessories like bags, backpacks, and cases.

Knomo's Mag Case is a slim, leather and polycarbonate case that looks much like any other iPhone case, but it has a steel plate embedded in the back. The steel plate is able to attach to the magnet built into the accompanying Mag Mount piece, which can be placed anywhere in the house via adhesive, letting the iPhone be mounted in a variety of different locations.

We liked the fit and feel of the Knomo Mag Case, but since it has a minimal design, it offers limited protection from drops and damage. Installed in a car with the Mag Mount, the Knomo Mag Case worked well, holding an iPhone 6s Plus firmly in place.

Knomo's Mag Case and Mag Mount for the iPhone 6s Plus can be purchased from the Knomo website for $49.95. The iPhone 6s version is available for $44.95, and additional Mag Mounts can be purchased for $19.99.

But then where you'd spend those 48.95 dollars you've just saved?

While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz.
