A lot of phones have almost enough metal to stick to a magnet. I bought this car mount a while ago and while it came with metal plates I found that my Nexus 6 would stick to it without anything. I later upgraded to a nexus 6P which weakly stuck, it would kinda hang off the bottom but never fell off.

I was thinking that it would be nice if we could just standardize something as simple as "stick an iron plate in the back of the phone" but I guess now I see that it would be nice if there was some sort of standard for a Qi charging location relative to whatever metal/magnets are there.
