People Also Ask
What is the difference between the iOdisc™ and the iOcore™?
The iOdisc™ is the passive component, a razor-thin stainless steel disc that adheres to the back of your phone or case with 3M VHB adhesive. It contains no magnet; it is simply the ferrous target the magnet locks onto. The iOcore™ is the active component of a high-strength neodymium magnet mounted on a 360°-rotating semisphere head that lives on your bracket. When the two make contact, the magnetic bond between the neodymium magnet and the steel disc creates the connection. The iOcore™ stays on the mount. The iOdisc™ stays on the phone. Your phone is never carrying a magnet only a thin steel disc.
Can I use one iOmounts® system across my motorcycle, car, and desk?
Yes, that is the core design intent. Every iOmounts® product in the Klock Werks lineup shares the same iOdisc™ and iOcore™ interface. Apply one iOdisc™ to your phone and it is immediately compatible with every mount in the 29+ product lineup: the perch mount on your Road Glide®, the iOtraveler® in your truck, the iOkwik™ on your gym squat rack, the iOstand® on your desk. Snap off one mount, walk to the next, snap on. The phone is always the same device. The mount is whatever environment you're in.
How strong is the iOcore™ magnet and will it hold my phone at highway speeds?
The extra-strength iOcore™ used in motorcycle and off-road kits is rated at up to 15 lbs of pull force. A modern smartphone weighs less than 8 ounces so its a safety margin of more than 30:1. In real-world testing, the system has been validated on speedways, dirt tracks, off-road trails, and thousands of interstate miles. Every motorcycle and off-road kit also includes a phone tether as a secondary retention measure for riders who want extra peace of mind at speed.
Does iOmounts® work with any phone case, or do I need a special case?
No special case is required. The iOdisc™ adheres to most hard plastic and polycarbonate cases, as well as directly to the back of the phone. The important exception: the 3M VHB adhesive does not bond reliably to silicone cases, highly textured soft-touch finishes, or soft flexible cases. If your current case is silicone, adhere the iOdisc™ directly to the phone back or switch to a hard case. The system also works with GPS units, tablets, and iPads for any device that can accept the iOdisc™ on a flat surface.
What is the nomad™, and how is it different from the motorcycle-specific mounts?
The nomad™ is a universal bar mount that clamps to any round tubing between 1/2" and 2" in diameter is the most versatile mount in the lineup. Motorcycle-specific mounts (Perch, Ambidextrous, Center Riser) are engineered for the exact control layout of specific bike models and bolt to factory mounting points for a clean, integrated look. The nomad™ uses a clamp mechanism that adapts to virtually any bar: dirt bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, Slingshots, RZRs, strollers, and more. Both styles use the same iOcore™ magnet and the same iOdisc™ interface. The difference is mounting location, not connection strength.
