An innovative connection system unites beautifully designed cases, mounts, and accessories.

Peak Design, the worldwide leader in crowdfunding and everyday carry solutions, has launched a revolutionary ecosystem of mobile cases, mounts, and accessories. Built around a proprietary low-profile connection system, Mobile by Peak Design aims to make your phone a better tool for everything you use it for, from navigation to communication, creativity to recreation.

They’ll work with any phone. And they’ll even be compatible with Apple’s new MagSafe system. If you’re as stoked as we are about these products, back them on Kickstarter and pre-order them for a screaming (up to 30%!) discount. Better yet, tell a friend or two.

Prior to the release of Mobile by Peak Design, clunky, bulky, unattractive mobile accessories hindered users’ attempts to obtain a seamless, compact mobile carry experience. Peak Design addressed this with a groundbreaking piece of mounting technology named SlimLink. With a stack height of just 2.4mm, SlimLink minimizes bulk on your phone and mounting devices and facilitates both soft-locking (magnetic) and ultra-secure, hard-locking (mechanical) mounting functionality.

The magnetic SlimLink offered an excellent attachment system that was both secure and easy to use. You have to hover the square section close to any of the mount systems, and it clicks quickly into place.

To achieve the SlimLink architecture, a zirconia ceramic insert is surrounded by an array of magnets and then embedded into each Peak Design Everyday Case. “Phones are the most powerful tools in the world, and our goal was to create the most powerful accessories for them,” commented Peak Design Founder and CEO Peter Dering. “We’ve been developing the SlimLink architecture for 4 years, and we didn’t stop until our cases and mounts looked better, felt better, and worked better than anything else out there.”

The consumer starting point for Peak Design’s mobile accessory ecosystem is the Everyday Case, a durable polycarbonate phone case wrapped in Peak Design’s custom high-performance nylon canvas fabric. The case—available for iPhone (including iPhone 12) and Samsung devices—supports wireless charging and strikes an ideal balance between ruggedness, protection, and refined aesthetics.

The soft case offers a nice fabric cover with a rubberized out edge for protection.

A slim, adhesive-backed Universal Adapter is also available that works with nearly any phone or hard, non-textured case. Peak Design intends to support additional phone models in the months and years to come.

The stick-on universal adapter worked great on my iPhone 7 Plus case. The system is thin enough, so the case isn’t overly thick, making it easy to slide into a pocket, pouch, or pack.

To complete the ecosystem, Peak Design has launched a wide array of instantly-swappable accessories, including mounts for cars, bicycles, motorcycles, home/office, a mobile wallet, and accessories for photographers and filmmakers.

The bike mount provides lots of attachment positions, the best being the out in front mode. It offers not only the magnetic attachment but has an additional security lock to keep your valuable phone on the mount. You can screw on an optional Go Pro mount on the bottom of the bike mount so that you could attach a camera or a bike light.

Each accessory was developed by a team of engineers over the course of 2 years and designed to outperform leading competitors in ease-of-use, form factor, ruggedness, and aesthetics. All accessories are built from premium materials, individually serialized, and guaranteed for life.

The tripod system is quite functional and folds down into a packable credit card size. You can use it in the default tripod mode, as a short selfie stick or a foldable stand. It makes it handy for doing photos, vlogging, at your desk usage, etc.

The range of products illustrates the versatility and security of the SlimLink mounting technology, which supports activities from Facetiming to downhill mountain biking.

The stick-on car mount worked just fine on my Tundra console, and it offered a secure and functional attachment, with excellent viewing of the phone screen. 

 

Mobile by Peak Design will be available for presale on October 19, 2020, as part of Peak Design’s monumental 10th Kickstarter campaign (peakdesign.com/ks). During this campaign, Peak Design has the potential to surpass Pebble for the all-time most money raised in the history of crowdfunding ($43.4M). Following the launch on Kickstarter, the mobile system will then be available for purchase online at Peakdesign.com and through major retailers beginning Spring 2021.

 

About Peak Design

Since 2010, Peak Design has been building innovative carry solutions with a simple overarching design directive: make the best things. The idea for our first product was born on a motorcycle trip through Southeast Asia and has since expanded to include a cross-functional ecosystem of bags, pouches, slings, straps, and clips. We’ve won applause along the way, but we’re most proud of the fact that we’re 100% crowdfunded and 100% employee-owned. We’ve raised $32.4 Million through 9 Kickstarter campaigns to become the world’s most successfully crowdfunded company. This allows Peak Design to stay investor-free and focused on the things that matter most: designing great products, fostering happy employees, and taking care of our customers and the natural environment.
