Ultima universal smartphone holder for car comes with ‘forever yours’ label
No, we aren’t joking when we’re saying that the Ultima universal smartphone holder by Nik Conomos up on Kickstarter could actually stay with users forever. The working prototype is apparently ‘future proof’, with users not having to worry about buying a new mount everytime they change their smartphone.
Designed for use in vehicles, Ultima boasts of a stylish design that should typically complement most smartphones. A high-quality build which includes superior aluminum materials, together with the easy usability of this device further ups its ante. And while it should be able to house a range of smartphones, the makers’ ‘mainly with the iPhone in mind to be used with or without a case’ claim does make us a wee bit wary.
Nevertheless, the distinct holder shows off an intuitive holding mechanism. This includes a specific release button that works at keeping the smartphone in place at all times. A simple press-and-hold of the button is likely to do the trick! With no measured increments, the holder gains flexibility, allowing it to accurately hold the smartphone in question depending on the force applied by users to press the button.
Interested users can cough up $85 (approx. Rs 4,131) to lay their hands on a first production run of Ultima in silver or black colors. The smartphone holder will otherwise retail for $99 (approx. Rs 4,811) at release. A special discount makes two of these mounts available for $160 (approx. Rs 7,776) only. What’s more, a special Kickstarter ‘Ultima’ Green Edition is slated to be available while the campaign is running on too. the Ultima universal smartphone holder will be shipped worldwide for free.
