Peak Design Offers its Mobile Accessory Ecosystem in Coordination with iPhone 13 Pre-order
An innovative connection system unites beautifully designed cases, mounts, and accessories
After a year of anticipation, Peak Design, the worldwide leader in crowdfunding and everyday carry solutions, returns with the full production release of its revolutionary ecosystem of beautifully designed mobile cases, mounts, and accessories. Originally launched in October 2020 as part of Peak Design’s milestone 10th Kickstarter, Mobile by Peak Design underwent a year of engineering updates and user testing. Mobile delivers robust compatibility with Apple’s MagSafe technology and keeps its promise of making your phone a more capable tool for commuting, cycling, photography, filmmaking, work, home, and more.
Prior to the release of Mobile by Peak Design, phone mounting ecosystems forced consumers to make serious usability tradeoffs: bulky cases, cumbersome attachment systems, unattractive mounts, and incompatibility with MagSafe. Peak Design addressed this with a groundbreaking technology called SlimLink. It’s a magnetic/mechanical phone attachment system that’s ultra-slim (stack height of just 2.4mm), ultra-strong, and so fast and easy to use that beta testers described it as “magical.” “I founded this company because I loved my camera, but it was a pain to lug around,” commented Peter Dering, Peak Design Founder, and CEO. “Ten years later, my phone is my camera. It’s also my communicator, map, and entertainment, but the times I need it most are the times when it’s least accessible and most vulnerable. We made Mobile not because we want to use our phones more, but because we want to worry about them less.”
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.
The consumer starting point for Peak Design’s mobile accessory ecosystem is the Everyday Case, a protective yet slim phone case wrapped in Peak Design’s proprietary nylon canvas fabric and surrounded by a 360-degree shock-absorbing TPU bumper. The case—available for iPhone (including iPhone 13) and Samsung Galaxy S21 devices—supports wireless charging, compatibility with MagSafe accessories, 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.
They’re also coming out with an Everday Case with a Loop.
A slim, adhesive-backed Universal Adapter is also available that works with nearly any hard or non-textured 3rd party phone case. Peak Design intends to support additional phone models in the months and years to come. 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, two mobile wallets, and accessories for photographers and filmmakers. Each accessory was developed by a team of engineers over the course of 3 years and designed to outperform leading competitors in ease-of-use, form factor, ruggedness, aesthetics. Many accessories also work directly with MagSafe phones and 3rd party cases.
All accessories are built from premium materials, guaranteed for life, and are 100% carbon neutral.
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 offers a secure and functional attachment, with excellent viewing of the phone screen. They’re adding a Wireless Car Chargin mount, which will be highly functional.
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, tripods, and mobile accessories. We’ve won applause along the way, but we’re most proud of the fact that we’re 100% crowdfunded, 100% employee-owned, and co-founders of Climate Neutral. 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.
