This iPhone 13 mount for PC/laptop is the must-have accessory for every desk setup

If you thought docking stations or other Magsafe compatible mounting accessories were cool, wait till you lay your hands on the Orbita iPhone mount for the PC screen or your laptop!

Magsafe has brought an expanded dimension of functioning for Apple users, creating an ecosystem of accessories and attachments. The technology debuted on the iPhone 12 lineup back in 2020, and thanks to its success, there are many third-party accessory makers like Anker, Mophie and Spigen who have created Magsafe-like functionality for Android devices too. That said, majorly the magnetic freedom to wirelessly charge smartphones, battery packs, and other cool functions is still the privilege of Apple iPhones.

Designer: Andrea Tortone

The Orbita modular system is a good example of yet another useful utility of the Magsafe technology – giving the user freedom to extend the personal working space on the desktop or laptop without any hassle. The iPhone 13 becomes the second screen according to the designer Andrea Tortone who’s developed this modular accessory for MiLi. The Apple device can be oriented in any direction – vertical, horizontal or anything in between to have a productivity-centered approach. This comes in handy for taking up Zoom calls, answering calls, or glancing over at the pop-up notifications right while you’re working on an important project.

The accessory is made out of a 3mm thick piece of aluminum for a lightweight yet robust form factor. The focus of the product is on minimalism and a clean look while being mounted on the desktop screen. Orbita’s attaches to the back of the screen and, thereafter, you can mount the Magsafe compatible phone for movement in any direction. As compared to most of the docks out there, the phone can be freely set in any orientation, and when not required it can be tucked away from sight, which is a great advantage with this intuitive accessory.

EDGE Magnetic Phone Mount: MaglevSafe

If there’s one thing the pandemic taught me, it’s that webcams are a scam, right up there with printers. Even a mid-range smartphone can beat $200 webcams. All you need is a mount, like this upcoming one from the folks at Rolling Square. The EDGE mount is a slim magnetic phone mount that also has nifty optional accessories.

The EDGE has three advantages over conventional clamp-style mounts. First, it makes it easy to attach and detach your phone, thanks to its magnets. It comes with a stick-on magnetic disc, but if you have an iPhone 12 series phone, then you don’t need the disc; the magnets at the back of the new iPhones are strong enough to do the trick.

Second, as you can see in the photos, the mount itself can be folded into the body when you’re not using it. In that state, it barely adds any thickness to your setup, which is great particularly for laptop users. You can of course also stick the EDGE on a monitor, or even on a tablet.

Finally, there are the aforementioned optional accessories. First is the obvious one – a 15W wireless charger. It comes with a magnetic ring that you can stick to your phone to make it work with the wireless charger. Again, if you have an iPhone 12 series phone, you won’t need the ring. One of the available accessories is a small LED light, which is one of the cheapest ways you can greatly improve the quality of your video feed, particularly for cameras with small lenses such as laptop webcams.

You can pledge $20 (USD) on Rolling Square’s Indiegogo campaign to get the EDGE mount only. The full kit – which includes the wireless charger and LED lamp – costs $50.

STICKO, The Ultimate Sticky Phone Mount Is Here

Sticko-1

We’re all dependent on our smartphones, nowadays, but finding a solution so they will stay visible and safe in places like cars can be quite hard. Luckily, STICKO will soon be among us.

Sticko-1

Most phone mounts are more trouble than they’re worth. They tend to be big, bulky, and cumbersome, while at the same time lack design and are not very portable. STICKO is a new idea (already funded in Kickstarter, but with a few days to go still!) that aims to fix all this, while giving you a place to always be able to mount your phone.

STICKO can go with its users anywhere they go, but it’s also incredibly easy to both stick and unstick while feeling safe at the same time, providing both portability and safety, the two things you should prioritize when trying to find a mount. Also? It looks quite great, if we may say so. Learn more about it in the video below these lines.

This phone mount sucks…

Literally! Sticko uses the power of suction cups to help you stay connected wherever you go. Primarily designed for hands-free phone use in the car, the double sided suckers attach to your device and to any smooth surface like a rear-view mirror or windshield so you can look at your GPS or talk on speaker while driving. Not just limited to the phone, Sticko can be used on your iPad or for a variety of other applications!
