A magnetic mounting system is provided. The system includes a device having a magnetic attachment feature and a magnetic device mount. The magnetic device mount has a mating magnetic attachment feature. The magnetic attachment feature and mating magnetic attachment feature allow specific angular, radial, and/or longitudinal alignment of the device relative to the mount without a mechanical interface. An electronic device holder and charging system with integrated charging and data transfer interface and a self-aligning, magnetic coupling and docking interface with on-demand decoupling feature are also disclosed.

1. A magnetic mounting system comprising: a device having an indexing magnetic attachment feature comprising a first multipole magnet;a magnetic device mount having a mating indexing magnetic attachment feature comprising a second multipole magnet, the magnetic attachment feature and mating magnetic attachment feature configured to index the device at predictable and programmed intervals, allowing specific angular, radial, and/or longitudinal alignment of the device relative to the mount without a mechanical interface; andan intermediary device mount adapter attached to the device and attached to the mount, wherein the intermediary device mount adapter has a first side having an attachment profile surface, a second side having an attachment profile surface, threaded holes for accepting mounting means, a threaded stud for interfacing with device mounting means, and supplemental attachment means for attaching additional devices. 2. The magnetic mounting system of claim 1, wherein the device is a device case having the magnetic attachment feature configured to interact with the mating magnetic attachment feature. 3. The magnetic mounting system of claim 1, wherein the mating magnetic attachment feature is fastenable to a support structure. 4. The magnetic mounting system of claim 3, wherein the mating magnetic attachment feature is coupled to a pivotable ball which is received by a clamp or socket. 5. The magnetic mounting system of claim 1, wherein the first multipole magnet is a single magnet. 6. The magnetic mounting system of claim 1, wherein the second multipole magnet is a single magnet. 7. The magnetic mounting system of claim 1, wherein a number and arrangement of magnetic poles of either or both the first multipole magnet and the second multiple magnet define a position and alignment of the device relative to the mount. 8. The magnetic mounting system of claim 1, wherein the magnetic device mount has magnets of a predetermined specific size, shape and pattern polarization. 9. The magnetic mounting system of claim 8, wherein the magnetic device mount has a substantially reduced magnetic coupling strength upon angular misalignment relative to a surface of the magnetic attachment feature of the device.
