How to choose
Choose the OX-3 when your customers use thick protective cases, when the phone has to hold on a magnetic car mount or desk stand as well as in the hand, or when you sell into markets where a rugged case is the norm. Choose the CX-5 when the pitch is the thinnest possible one-hand grip, and your customers use slim cases or none. For an appearance-led accessory range, compare first-sample anodized color, logo method and retail packaging before deciding which model leads the shelf. Many buyers stock both to cover a car and desk scenario and a slim everyday grip from one shipment.
What both share
Same 58 mm body diameter, same N52 magnet grade measured at about 4,100 GS, same SK7 hinge cycle-tested over 6,000 open-and-close movements. Both run on existing tooling, so neither model needs a mould paid for on a first order, and both start at 50 pcs including custom logo, colour and packaging.
Can we order both?
Yes. They are separate line items with a 50 pcs minimum each, they ship together, and the carton list is itemised by model so your warehouse can check the shipment quickly. Tell us which markets you sell into and we will say which of the two we would lead with.
Aluminum checks before an OEM order
For a custom aluminum phone holder project, the approved drawing and purchase order should state the alloy grade, whether a material certificate is required, the fabrication route and the specified finish. The model name does not confirm the grade by itself. Keeping those details in the order makes the approved sample, inspection plan and mass-production lot refer to the same material requirement.
Before a lot starts, seal the approved sample. During production, compare first, middle and last pieces for anodized color, blasting or brushing, gloss and uncoated areas. After anodizing, recheck the parts that affect fit: dimensions, flatness, magnet pockets and assembly. On the OX-3, both faces and the mating surfaces get their own masking and finish checks because it is a double-sided part.
