They don’t give your phone a kickstand or help you mount it as a GPS in your vehicle, and they certainly don’t let you hang it from a wall. Yet Plust, a design firm based out of Providence, RI, has created a product to do all of these things: The Linkmount System Smartphone Enhancement. (Read More)
