During the recent holidays, a number of car accessories and novelty items manufacturers have released a number of fancy gadgets that would make life easier for the driver and the passengers by infusing a touch of convenience anchored on modern-day technology.

So it is important to have that smartphone mount for it. The suction-cup mounts usually placed on the windshield often interfere with his line of vision, and the ubiquitous air vent mounts are a non-starter if he lives anywhere that requires the use of aircon.

The differentiator is the flip-up panel because it is a reflection screen for a smartphone, essentially converting it into a makeshift HUD.
