Cell Phone Accessories With A Magnetic Personality

We’ve all been there, on the road traveling around town or down the highway and needing to take a peek at our phones. While I generally try not to mess with my cell phone when driving, there are times that I have a destination programmed into the GPS and need to glance at it to make sure I’m not getting off track.

I’ve bought a few different car mounts to use but they just never seem to be just what I need. I don’t want one that permanently affixes to my dash, I want one I can easily take from vehicle to vehicle or get rid of when a newer, better one comes along. But, the ones I’ve tried either don’t seem to grip the phone securely or fall rather than staying in place.

The Vena vCommute Phone Case (featuring a magnetic leather flap on the back) used in conjunction with their Magnetic Car Vent Clip is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Both the phone case and car clip mount are magnetic so I can just hold the phone up to the clip and let it click into place securely. No slides or dials to be turned to adjust the mount to my phone which takes up precious time and makes me have to contort my body to be able to use both hands to get the job done!

As an added bonus, the Vena vCommute Phone Case has a multi-angle magnetic-lock stand as well as a small space to store cash, business cards, credit cards, and IDs when you’re running short on pockets or carrying a purse isn’t convenient. (If you use Apple Pay, this case is compatible with that, too.) Their phone cases also feature military grade drop protection, and if you hang out with me for even a short amount of time you’d know that I need this because let’s just say I’m a little clumsy sometimes.

Made from high-quality polycarbonate (PC) and shock-absorbing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), this smartphone case has been drop tested to meet MIL-STD 810G-516.6, surviving 26 drops from 4 feet high. The TPU layer on the inside of the case ensures your cards remain scratch-free. —– VENA

I can really appreciate the precision cut-outs that make it effortless to access the ports and power button. And while the volume and lock screen buttons aren’t cut-outs, they still maintain the same feel and use as though they were. My phone fits very snugly into the case but can also be removed with very little effort for cleaning.

Also high on my list of must-haves is a phone case that doesn’t slip easily out of my grasp because I’m butterfingered enough as it is. The Vena vCommute Phone Case is comfortable in my hand and stays put as I use my device. Also important is that even though it’s a very sturdy accessory for your phone it doesn’t feel bulky.
