NKMOS Ultima Revisited: The Best iPhone Auto Accessory Ever
February 23, 2012
A couple of weeks ago, we posted on the NKMOS Ultima Kickstarter project, and -- while we don't always follow up on the hectic crowdsourcing scene, this stylish and rugged smartphone car mount got our attention from the start.
And kept it.
Honestly, even with the Ultima's higher-than-average MSRP, the product's premium build quality, modern looks, and functional utility make it an all-around winner. Plus, with the Ultima's high-grade machined aluminum materials and beefy suction cup system, you won't have to worry about the overheating failures rampant among the plastic-molded models we're all so (unfortunately) used to. While it's elegantly designed with the iPhone in mind, the Ultima can accommodate almost any handset on the market, safely and securely. And, since it uses side-clamps to hold your handset, you'll never again block your loudspeaker or power jack with some meddlesome bottom bracket.
Pledge now to secure your very own Ultima. For $85 you will get one black or silver unit ($99 once they hit shelves), while $125 gets you the Kickstarter exclusive green version. Keep in mind, these prices include worldwide shipping, which drops the actual cost of the units themselves into traditional retail territory. Even better, if you act quickly, you can actually score a silver Ultima for just $65 (only 10 slots remaining).
If you're still on the fence, stay tuned: Inventor/entertainer/Renaissance man Nik Conomos is hoping to send us a review unit to help spread the word and highlight the Ultima's rock-tight windshield mount and versatile grips. There's simply not a stronger, sexier auto accessory on the market, but Nik and NKMOS need your help to get this one out there.
And I need it, too, because I really want one. So let's make this happen!
