OneLock vs. Magnetic Phone Mounts: Which Is Right for You?
1. How Each System Works
OneLock Mechanical Locking
l Uses a dual-slot and spring-loaded ball bearing system to physically secure your device.
l Requires a dedicated OneLock-compatible case for maximum security.
l Produces an audible “click” when locked, ensuring confirmation of secure attachment.
Magnetic Mounts
l Uses N55 Pro magnets and a magnetic-compatible case or metal plate.
l Offers instant snap-on and release with no moving parts.
l Relies on dual-layer magnetic force for a secure hold.
2. Stability and Security
l OneLock: Offers maximum resistance to vibration, wind pressure, and sudden impacts—ideal for off-road riding, mountain biking, and high-speed motorcycle use.
l 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
l OneLock: Single-hand operation, but requires alignment to lock and press-button release to detach.
l 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.
