Universal smartphone stand made with aircraft grade aluminum features an integrated cable management system and exclusive mounting technology designed for home, office and travel

Minneapolis, MN - June 17, 2013 – Bracketron’s new universal NanoTek Stand for mobile devices adds simple style to home and office desks, keeping power cords neat and readily available with its patent-pending integrated cable management system. The NanoTek Stand also increases device functionality by placing it in direct line of sight for users, allowing screens to be easily viewed at a glance, ideal for checking the time or incoming texts. The stand securely grips to both desk and device thanks to an exclusive mounting technology that leaves surfaces and smartphones clean and residue-free. It is universally compatible with most handheld mobile devices and offers flexible mounting options to secure devices in both vertical or horizantal positions for optimal use.

Founded in 2001, Bracketron is an industry leader in universal mounting solutions for mobile devices. The company has created hundreds of top-selling accessories for mobile technologies and is now sharing its knowledge, resources and expertise with smaller start-up companies to help bring products like the NanoTek Stand to market quickly and successfully.

“In addition to creating our own patented, unqiue technologies for mobile devices, partnering with start-up companies and designers who share our passion for crafting solutions that extend the use of the device and enhance the overall user experience is important as we continue to grow,” says Christian Johnson, Vice President of Marketing for Bracketron. “We have the experience and relationships to bring exciting products to consumers quickly and widely, and the NanoTek Stand is a great example of this.”

In addition to home and office use, the NanoTek Stand is designed with travel in mind. The lightweight smartphone stand is made with aircraft grade aluminum for easy portability. By having the NanoTek Stand on the road, travelers can transform their smartphones into highly visible clocks to ensure they never “miss the boat”.

According to a Pew Internet & American Life Project report, 67 percent of smartphone owners check their phones without being prompted by a beep, ring or vibration. With devices clearly in view, the NanoTek Stand allows consumers at home, work or away to see the current time and messages as they come in without having to continually pick up and check their device.

“The NanoTek Stand is an elegant solution to a common problem,” says Johnson. “The stand quickly and easily stations your mobile device so that it’s easy to view, saves desk space and keeps your work area looking clean and sleek.”

Let’s tackle these needs one by one.

Low Profile

Many dash mounts I’ve tried have long arms with multiple points of articulation. That’s great for flexibility of placement, but bad in that they’re distractive. Worse, the longer the arm and the more points of articulation you have, the more the dash will bounce as you drive.

The Mi-T Grip has just one point of articulation right at the gripping claw, and it’s easily tightened to the point where you get virtually no bounce at all (beyond the natural bounce of your car, of course). And if you prefer windshield mounting like I do, the low profile design doesn’t draw your attention away from the road.

Freedom of Placement

As I mentioned above, I prefer to mount my iPhone 5 just under the rear view mirror of my Toyota Matrix; it’s right at eye level so I can keep my eyes up and on the road, and the center placement makes it easy for my wife to see, too, so she knows I’m not second guessing the Maps app again.

This may not always be the case, however, and I’d like options when it comes time to get a new car or move it to someone else’s. The Mi-T Grip’s suction cup is made of a gel-like, somewhat tacky substance called Temporbond that makes it great for mounting on your dash even if it has a bit of texture to it, with no special mounting plate required; just make sure you’ve completely cleaned and dried the dash area before mounting.

Accommodates Multiple Devices/Cases

Previously, my favorite dash mount was Navigon’s iPhone 4 Design Car Kit; the problem of which is right there in the title. It’s still in use in my wife’s car, because she still has an iPhone 4S. When she upgrades later this year, the Navigon mount will become obsolete because it’s designed specifically for the iPhone 4 form factor. This is not a problem with the Mi-T Grip Dash Mount. It’s latch mechanism firmly grips the sides of your iPhone, and doesn’t at all interfere with any of the buttons, speaker or jacks. Whether you prefer to view your device in landscape or portrait mode, the rubber padding on the latch arms firmly secures the iPhone even in most cases.

The Bracketron Mi-T Grip Dash Mount will cost you about $5 to $10 more than similarly modeled mounts, but its freedom of placement and ability to adapt to your changing devices/automobiles mean you’ll likely get more use out of it. It’s good to know that when I’m using my iPhone 9 in my Tesla S, my Mi-T Grip will still be able to do the job.
