iPhone 4 with JaTiKi Mount Part “A” (shown in anodized Blue)
The JaTiKi Mount is an innovative, first of its kind, multi-purpose mounting system for the iPhone 4/4s/5 and any other personal electronic device. By incorporating powerful rare earth magnets, 1/4-20 threaded holes, and other CNC machined features into a two-disc mounting system, we have completely eliminated the need to wrap or add unnecessary bulk to the phone itself (like a case). If a phone never falls does it still need protection? We are not saying you will never drop your phone, but chances are drastically diminished with the JaTiKi Mount. Without a case on your phone, the JaTiKi delivers a high level of functionality while staying true to the aesthetics and function of devices such as the iPhone.
