Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better for holding heavy phones, the Miracase or VICSEED?

I’d go with the Miracase if you’re worried about a heavy phone. Its steel metal hook with silicone pad physically clamps onto your vent blade, so weight doesn’t matter much — it’ll hold anything from 4.0 to 7.2 inches. The VICSEED uses magnets and claims it can hold 10 phones, but if you hit a big pothole with a bulky Pro Max model, the magnetic grip can sometimes shift. For pure mechanical strength, the Miracase wins.

Does the VICSEED work with non-iPhone Android phones?

Yes, but you’ll need to use the included metal rings. The VICSEED comes with two metal rings that you stick onto your phone or case, and then the 20 N52 magnets will hold it just fine. That said, if you own an Android or any non-MagSafe phone, the Miracase is actually easier since it clamps directly without needing any extra stickers or rings.

Is the Miracase worth the extra money compared to the VICSEED?

Actually, the Miracase is priced lower and it’s the better value for most people. You get a universal clamp that works with any phone, a 2-year manufacturer warranty, and it’s the #1 best seller in GPS Vehicle Mounts. The VICSEED costs a bit more because of the strong magnet system, but you’re paying for that MagSafe convenience. If you don’t need magnets, the Miracase gives you more for less.

Which mount is more stable on bumpy roads?

Both are very stable, but the Miracase has the edge here. The metal hook design actually locks onto a single vent blade with a silicone pad and mat, so there’s no wobble. The VICSEED uses a built-in metal vent clip that locks securely too, but because it’s magnetic, your phone can vibrate slightly over really rough terrain. For off-road or city potholes, I trust the Miracase more.

Can I use either of these with a thick OtterBox-style case?

The Miracase handles thick cases no problem — it’s designed to work with phones up to 7.2 inches and bulky cases. The VICSEED can work with thick cases too, but you’ll need to stick the included metal ring onto the back of that case, which might not look great. If you don’t want to mess with stickers, the Miracase is the simpler choice.

Which one is easier to install and remove quickly?

The VICSEED is faster for daily use if you have a MagSafe iPhone — just snap it on and off with one hand, no buttons needed. The Miracase also has a quick release button for one-hand operation, but you still have to squeeze the clamp arms to release it. For pure speed, the VICSEED wins. For security and universal fit, the Miracase wins.
