Ventev Mobile has launched three dashmounts for keeping your smartphone handsfree in vehicles.
The minipro window has a suction cup mount to attach to any car window (or even some dashboards) and gives you 360-degree rotation of your attached phone. A universal adjustable smartphone mount will hold most smartphones, even while they are in a case.
While your phone is in the mount, you’ll get full functionality to the touchscreen along with all the other controls, headphone and charging ports.
The mini pro vent has all the same features, but instead of the suction cup mount, it clips onto your vehicles air vent.
A ball mount bracket with an adhesive backing is included with both.
A third option is the magdock 360 dashmount, which magnetically attach your device mount and then attaches to the cars air vent.
A magnet about the size of a quarter is included to put on the back of your case or phone to make the magnetic connection to the mount. You’ll also get 360-degree movement and full access to all the phones features with or without a case.
Any of the three setup in seconds.
