Looking at the ebay postings. Did you need to put anything on the back of your phone to attach this?
Yes, you need some pretty thick double sided tape. Note that I superglued a thick furniture pad on mine (felt side glued to mount, other side is sticky tape used to stick to dash).

I didn't read your question close enough in the other reply. Yes, this eBay magnetic vent clip comes with two thin metal plates with adhesive on one side. You can stick the metal plate directly on the back of your phone if you don't use a case. Or just slip it between the case and the phone if you do use a case (which I do).
I like this. I'm very impressed by this. Plus 1 for creativity and plus 1 for simplicity. Going to do this to my car also.
So i liked this idea as well.. and before I even got my car I bought the magnetic mount (Above).
Now that I have the car and am considering doing this, I've noticed that its an inconvenient spot for me personally. I have an iphone6+ which is admittedly a large phone, but if I use it in portrait mode, it blocks some of the navi screen and the the HVAC display. If I use it in landscape, it blocks half of each vent.
Neither of these points are deal breakers, esp since I haven't come up with a better solution yet... but just letting you guys know that imo there are a few drawbacks to this placement.
If I ever purchase the nav. lockout bypass, I won't need to mount it anymore. I can put it in the center storage and cast my android auto-esque phone app to the nav screen.
