OneLock vs. Magnetic Phone Mounts: Which Is Right for You? - A2C

OneLock vs. Magnetic Phone Mounts: Which Is Right for You?

1. How Each System Works

 

OneLock Mechanical Locking

Uses a dual-slot and spring-loaded ball bearing system to physically secure your device.

Requires a dedicated OneLock-compatible case for maximum security.

Produces an audible “click” when locked, ensuring confirmation of secure attachment.

Magnetic Mounts

Uses N55 Pro magnets and a magnetic-compatible case or metal plate.

Offers instant snap-on and release with no moving parts.

Relies on dual-layer magnetic force for a secure hold.


2. Stability and Security


OneLock: Offers maximum resistance to vibration, wind pressure, and sudden impacts—ideal for off-road riding, mountain biking, and high-speed motorcycle use.

Magnetic: Highly stable in most urban and highway conditions, but may be less secure than mechanical locks during extreme jolts or heavy off-road use.


3. Speed and Convenience


OneLock: Single-hand operation, but requires alignment to lock and press-button release to detach.

Magnetic: Fastest mounting method—just bring your phone near the mount and it snaps into place instantly.


4. Adjustability and Versatility


Both systems offer 360° rotation and multi-joint adjustability on compatible A2C mounts, allowing you to position your phone exactly where you need it.

Both built with weather-resistant materials and tested for performance in real-world environments.


Final Thoughts

If your rides involve extreme terrain, high speeds, or unpredictable conditions, OneLock is your best choice for peace of mind. If you prioritize speed, convenience, and smooth transitions between rides and stops, a magnetic mount offers unmatched ease of use.

No matter which you choose, A2C ensures your device stays secure, accessible, and ready for every adventure.
