As smartphones become even more sophisticated, it is only natural that people will want to use it in different ways throughout their day and the Linkmount system helps them in these situations. The Linkmount is a simple and elegant attachment that allows the smartphone to secure to any surface for easy hands-free use. Not to mention that visibility is increased as well.
The Linkmount was designed by PLUST, a design firm based in Providence, Rhode Island. An extremely successful Kickstarter campaign so far, the Linkmount system has raised nearly $150,000, which is much more than its initial $35,000 goal. Available in a number of colors, the Linkmount can connect to a strap, tripod or even a singlemount placed on walls and other surfaces. The Linkmount is essentially a multifunctional 3-in-1 design.
