| Criterion | iOttie Velox Mini Qi2 Dash & Windshield | Peak Design Car Vent Mount (Qi2 Charging) |
|---|---|---|
| Scores | ||
| Overall | 4.1/5 | 4.0/5 |
| Spec strength | 4.5 15 W Qi2 vs 7.5 W on the older Velox Pro, and the longest arm here (4–7 in vs 4.5–6.75 in on the Easy One Touch 5); the Belkin matches 15 W but has no arm. | 4.0 Qi2 15 W matches the Velox Mini Qi2 and Belkin, but Peak Design publishes no wattage on its own page — the 15 W figure comes from retailer specs; no dash or arm option. |
| Build quality | 4.0 Lever suction cup plus sticky-gel pad and a 6 oz body; no CryoFlow fan like the Velox Pro and no published magnet pull rating. | 5.0 The only all-aluminum mount in this group (141 g machined body vs plastic on the iOttie and Lamicall mounts), with a lifetime warranty behind it. |
| Fit & compatibility | 4.0 Qi2/MagSafe only — no cradle for non-magnetic phones — but dash and windshield mounting both work; Peak Design needs its own case or adapter. | 3.0 Works best with Peak Design's own cases; the Universal Adapter is extra and may limit charging; the brand warns it fits 'many but not all' vents. |
| Warranty & support | 4.0 2 years, same as Belkin; 30-day free returns from iOttie. | 5.0 Lifetime warranty vs 2 years on iOttie and Belkin. |
| Value | 4.0 $59.95 list with a 20 W adapter in the box — $20 under Belkin's $79.99 and $40 under Peak Design's $99.95 for the same 15 W. | 3.0 $99.95 is the priciest mount here — $40 over the Velox Mini Qi2 and $20 over Belkin — before you add a $40-ish Peak Design case. |
