What it is

Each holder is a small silicone pocket with a magnet, backed with adhesive. One part sticks to a wall or surface and the remote is held against it, so the remote lives in one fixed place instead of on a sofa.

Six come in a pack, which reviewers treat as more than one household needs at once and useful for spares. Colour sets include black, white and mixed packs, and reviewers pick colour to blend with the remote or the wall.

How it works

The mounting surface is the design decision. Reviewers report mounting on the side of a television, on a wall beside a bed, and on the underside of a shelf hanging above a bed. The underside mount is the one that keeps a remote off every horizontal surface entirely.

Motion does not dislodge them. One reviewer in a camper van mounts two small remotes beside a bed and reports the remotes staying put while driving on rough roads.

Reviewers also use the holders for objects that are not remotes. One reports mounting a laptop power brick under a desk using two or three holders, which held without falling.

What reviewers report

AddToPick read ten US five-star reviews of these holders, coming to roughly 4,500 characters. One reviewer reports about a year of use, which is the longest term in this set.

Named limitations from these five-star reviewers:

• The adhesive holds. One reviewer reports about a year without failure, and another reports the backing staying stuck where cheaper mounts peeled after a few weeks.
• The magnet holds through movement. A reviewer in a camper van reports remotes staying mounted on rough roads.
• The profile is low enough not to interfere. Reviewers report the holder not getting in the way of using the remote.
• Reviewers name the specific remotes this solves: ceiling fan and light remotes by a bed, a fireplace remote used only part of the year, and a soundbar remote.
• Reviewers compare the holders favourably to velcro strips.
• One reviewer reports the silicone not yellowing early, though the observation covers weeks rather than years. Named limitations from these five-star reviewers:
• Not every remote works. One reviewer reports a single remote that pushes the magnet away and will not stay on the holder.
• The system depends on the user putting the remote back. One reviewer notes this directly as the weak point of the whole idea.
• Six holders is more than most households need at once, which reviewers frame as spares rather than as a problem.

Who it is not for

• Remotes that repel the magnet. One reviewer found one in their own household, so this is worth testing before committing an adhesive mount.
• Anyone who will not put the remote back. The holder fixes where a remote lives, not the habit of leaving it on the sofa.
• Surfaces that cannot take adhesive. The mount is peel and stick, and reviewers describe the hold as strong enough to resist peeling.
• Anyone who wants to reposition freely. Placement should be settled before the backing comes off.

Questions people ask

Will the holder work with my remote?

Most remotes hold. One reviewer reports one remote in their household that pushes the magnet away and does not stay, so it is worth testing before mounting permanently.

How long does the adhesive last?

One reviewer reports about a year of use with the holders still attached. Another reports the backing not peeling after several weeks where cheaper mounts had failed.

Will a remote stay put in a moving vehicle?

One reviewer in a camper van mounts two remotes beside a bed and reports them staying in place while driving on bumpy roads.

Can the holders hold anything besides remotes?

One reviewer mounted a laptop power brick under a desk using two or three holders and reports it holding without falling.

Why does a pack contain six?

Reviewers treat the count as covering multiple rooms plus spares, naming fan remotes, a fireplace remote and a soundbar remote as separate uses in one home.
