Why a mechanical lock
The CLS and E-Class cupholder geometry is precise enough that the mount does not need a soft interface. The sintered nylon body is made to the exact internal dimensions and holds itself in place through engineered fit, not friction padding.
Cleaner install. No material degradation over time. It stays as tight on day 1,000 as it does on day one.
Fewer parts. Tighter tolerances. That is the advantage of designing for one specific vehicle.
Every mount is manufactured in-house in our Swiss workshop. We typically run a waiting list or carry minimal stock. Pre-order to secure yours in the first batch.
Fitment. Read this before ordering.
The rule: the Mercedes-Benz CLS W218 and E-Class W212 share the same centre console cupholder geometry. We 3D-scanned both and confirmed it. One mount fits both cars. If you own either, this is your mount.
Fits
Every mount we make is drawn for one interior. Find yours in the vehicle-specific phone mount collection. Porsche drivers start here: 911 991 · 911 992 · 718 Cayman & Boxster · Boxster & Cayman 981 · Taycan · Macan · Macan EV.
Built for the car
3D-scanned from the car
Scanned from the actual vehicle interior, then made to those dimensions. Not a universal mount hoping to fit your car.
Five seconds, no tools
Push it into the centre console cupholder. Mechanical lock. No suction cups, no vent clips, no adhesive, no drilling.
Industrial SLS sintered nylon
Not desktop filament printing. The same grade used in aerospace prototyping and automotive tooling. It handles summer heat and winter cold, UV and impact, without warping, cracking or fading.
Designed and made in Switzerland
We invented magnetic storage accessories for vehicles. Every product is designed, produced and hand-assembled in our Swiss workshop.
Phone compatibility
The included Qi2 charger works with all MagSafe iPhones and Qi2-compatible Android devices. Qi2 Ready phones need a magnetic case for correct alignment.
Apple MagSafe
Qi2 Android
This list is growing. As more manufacturers adopt Qi2, more phones will be compatible.

Pairs well with
It starts as a 3D scan of your car.
Then hours and hours of modelling. Then nylon powder, fused by a laser one layer at a time, until the powder holds the shape of your console.
We do the hours so the install takes seconds.
Scanning, modelling, printing, finishing and assembly happen in one building in Ticino, Switzerland. Nothing arrives finished. Nothing is rebadged. When a part needs to change, it changes that week.
