Chad's Crappy Corner and another holiday gift he received.

Chad emailed our loyal (and much appreciated) Patreon supporters and asked them to pick a January, 2016 theme of the month they would like to see. They voted and picked 'Chad's Christmas Gifts'. This week Chad's gift is the Car Mount TechMatte MagGrip CD Slot Magnetic Universal Car Mount Holder for Smartphones. 

Here's what Amazon says about it: The TechMatte MagGrip CD Slot Car Mount is a sturdy, cradle-less, attractive device holding system focused on simplicity. Simply place the included slim, MagGrip plate inside the case of your device and insert the MagGrip CD Slot Car Mount into the CD player slot on your car. The strong magnetic surface of the mount will ensure that your device is secure, while the cradle-less feature enables you to completely view your device without any distracting arms and holders - Designed with Drivers in Mind. Compatible with almost all smartphones. (models are listed on Amazon) Note: The metal plate/sticker may affect the wireless charging for some devices. Weight: 4.0 oz (113 g). It's $10.99 and Amazon Prime (as of 1/13/16)

 

And Chad's take:

 

Chad liked this device a lot. As you'll see in the video, it's easy to install and it holds his phone securely, even over bumps in the road. Someone in the chatroom asked if you can still play CD's with the MegaGrip in place, and Chad said you can't. But as someone else in the chatroom pointed out, there's now a use for the CD player since most people rely on digital media for their music, not CD's.
