Since the boom of the digital revolution—and particularly the rise of popularity in smartphone use—product designers have been looking to optimize efficiency and comfort with built-in phone mounts. A recent example of the continuation of this trend is the MagicMount Hydro by Scosche® Industries. This innovation combines an insulated water bottle with a built-in phone mount that is magnetic. In addition, the design also includes a removable hydration bowl for dogs, positioning this product as a three-in-one solution.
The adjustable magnetic phone mount is MagSafe®-compatible, accommodating iPhone models 12 and later. For pre-MagSafe iPhones and Androids, individuals need to use the MagicRing™ Adapter which is included. The bottle features double-wall vacuum insulation for temperature retention, a food-grade stainless steel interior, and a flip-up sip spout for easy hydration.
