Rennline Mount w/ Wireless Charging

I was able to finally found a wireless magnet charger that is compatible with the Rennline ball mount. Not a lot of accessories have a ball as small as the Rennline. One thing I hated was having a magnet on my original case because I use wireless charging so much. I would have to take my case off every time I wanted to charge my phone wirelessly lol.

The mag wireless charger is from a company called Pitaka. I had to get a 'magsafe" case which essentially means the magnet on the case is in a circle around the wireless charging element so there is not interference.

For what it's worth, Rennline has their own wireless charging add-ons for their mounts.

Wireless charger.

Steel ring to let phones attach to the magnet without interfering with the charging.

Yea I saw that when looking around. I saw someone saying they had issues where their phone wasn't always charging. A lot of magsafe products have mixed reviews lol. So far so good with the Pitaka charger and it comes with a built in fan to keep it from heating up I have a long car ride coming up so it'll be a perfect test.

The ring is interesting. Not sure if I'd want that on my case but definitely an option. The price point on the Rennline option is definitely nice.
