Elemount Gadget Design Harkens Back to Classic B


It's the 21st century. We don't have flying cars, babies in vending machines or personal robot (pronounced RO-bit) servants. But, we do have cool, retro gadgets like the eleMount.


In its brushed aluminum form, the eleMount has that retro sci-fi look of 1950s B movies. And, that's a good thing. There's a flair for future aesthetics those films envisioned for this age that we really don't often manage these days. Imagine the sweeping, hot rod lines of Flash Gordon's rocket ship - then, take a look at the real world ISS. Better 1, or better 2?


Counter weighted and magnetic, the hinged elemount puts your iPhone or iPad on full display - angling into your field of view with artsy, understated elegance.


For about $80, you could argue this tiny gadget is a bit overpriced - especially when you consider it's a single function device. Still, it's well-made and adds a touch of faux-futuristic class to your desk while you wait for an android to make you dinner.
