Can you post a picture? You need to instal the metal plate behind your phone. You can get metal plates on Amazon for real cheap. If you need help please contact Clearmounts at info@clearmounts.com

Yeah, if you don't have a metal piece either on your phone or inside your case, it won't stick. You can order just the part for your phone from clearmounts directly or find some online. I have the low profile version, not the swivel, and I love it. Not big and bulky like so many of the other mounts out there. A bit pricy, but I'd buy it again.

Oh Jesus, for some reason I was thinking the bare phone would stick to the magnet. Metal plate makes sense!

I'm glad the car came with one, because if it didn't that would've for sure been an automatic 30+ bucks out of my wallet. Such a clever design.

I bought the low profile magnet mount for my S3 8V the second i saw this product.
Everyone that sees it tries to find a magnet mount like it; definitely love this product as the magnet holds my phone very firmly.

Have the low profile mount in my 2015 S3 w/ Iphone 6+. Love it. the hold is solid. I don't us my phone in landscape mode, so the low profile works great for me. Its a very strong mount. The phone doesn't really move - even on big bumps. Great purchase for me. I would definitely recommend it.
