Scooch Wingback vs CX-5 Magnetic Rotatable Phone Holder

Buy the Scooch Wingback if you want one flat accessory that grips, kickstands and mounts in an air vent. Buy the aluminum magnetic holder if you want a desk stand and selfie stick and already use a MagSafe-style magnetic case. The Wingback is the more versatile pocket accessory, but owners report the adhesive weakens and the snap hinge wears out after a few years. The magnetic holder is sturdier in metal and rotates freely, but it does nothing for a phone in the hand and needs magnets to hold.

  • Choose the Scooch Wingback if you want a slim stick-on grip that also props the phone and slots into a car air vent.
  • Choose the CX-5 magnetic holder if you want a folding aluminum stand for a desk or selfies and your phone or case is magnetic.

What reviewers say

Scooch Wingback

  • 4.5 / 5187 ratings

Owners rate it highly and call it sleek, comfortable and genuinely useful in the car. The recurring complaints are the adhesive letting go and the hinge losing its snap after two to three years.

What people mention
  • AdhesiveCriticisedOwners say the sticky pad is the weak point, and some add glue to keep the Wingback attached.
  • DurabilityCriticisedThe hinge stops snapping back into the frame after about two to three years of use.
  • PocketabilityPraisedIt folds flat and slides easily into a back pocket without catching.
  • Car mountingPraisedIt hangs securely in most horizontal air vents for GPS use.

Questions and answers

Which is better for hands-free video on a desk?
The CX-5 holder. It stands on its own and rotates 360 degrees, so you can angle the screen. The Wingback props the phone at two fixed angles and sits lower.
Which works better in a car?
The Wingback, because it pops into most horizontal air vents. The CX-5 holder grips the phone magnetically but has no vent clip, so you need a flat surface or a separate mount.
Which lasts longer?
The aluminum CX-5 holder has fewer wear parts. Wingback owners report the adhesive loosening and the snap hinge failing after about 2-3 years.
Do either work with wireless charging?
No. The Wingback blocks MagSafe and Qi charging, and the CX-5 holder is a mount, not a charger. Take the phone off either one to charge wirelessly.
Is the Wingback worth stepping up to over a plain grip?
Yes if you also want a kickstand and vent mounting from one flat piece. Skip it if you use a silicone case or charge wirelessly.
Will the CX-5 holder work with any phone?
Only with a magnetic phone or a magnetic case. Other phones need a metal plate, which adds thickness.
