Pitaka MagEZ Car Mount Pro 2 Qi2

Smartphone case maker Pitaka released a version of its top MagEZ Car Mount with Qi2 charging. With its powerful MagSafe magnets, the car mount offers a secure attachment between a phone and mount even on the roughest roads, the company said. It delivers fast charging to MagSafe iPhones as well as Android phones.

It’s an upgraded addition to the company’s original Pitaka MagEZ Car Mount Pro 2 without the Qi2 charging standard. That one delivers 7.5W to iPhone, half the juice of the new one’s 15W.

Works with iPhones and Android phones

Here’s some of Pitaka‘s description on the new car mount charger:

With Qi2 certification, the MagEZ Car Mount Pro 2 supports 15W fast wireless charging when paired with a charger boasting a 20W output. This ensures that devices remain powered up throughout the journey, providing uninterrupted connectivity and convenience. Compatible with both iPhones and Android phones using a MagSafe case, it offers versatility for users across different platforms.

Enhancing convenience and safety while driving, the [mount] features three customized NFC shortcuts. Users can easily access their preset apps by attaching their NFC-enabled phones to the mount, activating their desired apps with a simple switch of the NFC shortcut. This innovative functionality streamlines phone usage on the road, minimizing distractions and maximizing efficiency.

Safeguarding iPhone battery health

What’s more, this car mount features several air vents for heat dissipation. That helps maintain the phone’s battery health for optimal performance during prolonged use, Pitaka said.

With its 17mm universal swivel ball, the car mount works with a wide range of car brands and models. In addition, its vacuum-plated PC and Aramid fiber weave provide durability for a long life despite daily wear and tear.

Pitaka’s new car mount is available from Amazon and the Pitaka website for $53.99 using the available 10% discount.
