Peak Design, a leader in photography accessories, has jumped into the smartphone space, and its first product, Mobile, knocks it out of the park.
Mobile is a comprehensive set of products that matches the ways people use phones. We use cases for protection, car mounts for hands-free driving, and we prop them up against things for video calls, watching YouTube, and reading stories.
Peak Design created a product for every practical way we use our phones and even a few extras.
In short: Mobile is a solid product I didn’t know I needed until I used it. With the case or Universal Adapter (see more below) everyone can use it. As expected with Peak Design, the mounts are elegant, surprisingly functional, and well-designed. Even if you already have a phone case and mount, I’d say it’s worth switching to Mobile — it’s a worthy upgrade.
To date, Mobile has over 9,000 backers and has raised $1.67 million. The campaign and early-bird prices end on Dec 17.
Peak Design Mobile Review
The beauty of Mobile comes from simple, effective magnets. The magnetic slot on the case/adapter and all the mounts work vertically and horizontally. You just rotate your phone 90 degrees and it clicks in. The magnet is strong enough to hold yet not so strong that it’s difficult to remove from the other accessories.
This design feature gives it that why-didn’t-we-think-of-this-earlier feeling, and it makes this product stand out.
Everyday Case

The Everyday Case is the marquee product in the Mobile line. It’s like your existing phone case but better, as it has a magnetic slot that allows it to attach to all kinds of rad mounts. And it has a “loop” option that has a loop for your finger to prevent the phone from slipping out of your hands.
For this initial launch, the Everyday Case is available for the following phones: iPhone12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11, Samsung S20, Samsung S20 Ultra, Samsung S20+.
Don’t worry — if your phone isn’t on the list, you’re not out of luck. Check out the Universal Adapter below.
Full disclosure, I have an iPhone X, so I wasn’t able to test the Everyday Case. It looks awesome, and, based on the other products in the line, I expect that it’s dialed. When I upgrade my phone, I will most definitely be getting the Everyday Case.
