Smartphones are a constant distraction for drivers. Many
drivers who use mobile phones can attest to answering the phone as it rings
while on the road. Mobile phone users can be found either using a headset,
earpiece or answering the phone while driving. If a cell phone user answers the
phone without being hands free then it is illegal in fourteen States, and
statistically it has been found to be as dangerous as drunk driving. Most would
agree that there is no phone call that is worth that type of danger.
Nettohome’s solution is the universal mobile phone car mount
that attaches by suction to a windshield or dashboard. It has become more
widely used and it is a practical solution to avoid the danger of distracted
driving and avoiding the constant earpiece. The product is a car phone stand
with a magnetic head. The magnetic head connects to an iron plate that a user
places between the phone and phone case or a circular plate that one sticks to
the outside of the case. The Smartphone user is now safe and legally able to
make or take calls in the fourteen States that enforce distracted driving laws.
The company said that the Smartphone stand is truly
universal as it works with the Nexus 5, iPhone 4,5 and 6, Samsung Galaxy, and
similar Smartphones. The only issue is with heavier phones like the iPhone 6
plus and thicker cases like the Otterbox as the magnet is not strong enough to
penetrate that case.
Other similar solutions are the earpiece which is
uncomfortable, or another car cell phone mount. A vent mount we have found can
over heat when your warming your car as it is right at the vent. A grip mount
has it advantages, but it can damage your phone and it really only allows your
phone to rest on the mount. Others have tried the Velcro mount which attached
to your steering wheel, but that can be distracting. This is why we feel the
Nettohome magnetic mobile phone mount work best as it really attaches your
phone to the stand itself. The mount is so strong you can just leave it on the
dashboard or windshield indefinitely. If it gets dirty just clean it with soap
and water and reapply. Nettohome product is lower priced compared to the
competition and it is available on Amazon just by typing nettohome in Amazon
