(photos: NKMOS) ULTIMA Smartphone Holder | from US$65.00 | www.nkmos.com
personally, I am not a huge fan of putting a smartphone holder in my car – drink holder, yes but probably no when it comes to smartphone. however, if you find yourself in need of such a gadget accessory but sneers at those cheap plastic-made holder, then help is here. the Ultima (no relation to the popular RPG of the bygone era) smartphone holder is one holder that will appease your style-conscious ego. its aluminum construction makes it a style-sensible choice over those ugly black plastic offerings in the market and it boast an “intuitive holding mechanism” that only requires users to press and hold to insert their smartphone, and vice versa for releasing. it does not bear any measured increments for its sliding mechanism and therefore, it should fit virtually any smartphone accurately and snugly. the Ultima is developed by… wait for this… a full time professional singer by the name of Nik Conomos and he is currently seeking your support to make the Ultima a reality through (you guessed it) Kickstarter. by pledging $65, you will get yourself one Ultima Black Edition with free worldwide shipping thrown in. though its worthy to note that only 100 units will be pegged at $65. there’s also a Silver Edition which requires a pledge of $85 and a special Kickstarter only Ultima Green Edition goes for $125 a pop. whichever you choose, expect the delivery date to be sometime in June this year. check out a product intro clip after the break.
thanks to Nik for hat tip!
