You’ve probably seen all kinds of products — including mobile accessories – whose manufacturers advertise they’re made of special military-grade materials or meet military specifications. The message manufacturers are trying to send boils down to “Our products are rugged, and if you don’t believe us here’s proof: they adhere to military specifications.” That sounds impressive, but what does it all mean?
Buckle up: it’s the law. Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Only YOU can prevent wildfires. There are all kinds of laws and rules that govern us, and some are even sensible! There are, apparently, even state laws regarding the use of certain mobile accessories. Specifically, Window Mounts for automobiles.
According to sources, Window Mounts are illegal in certain states and have rules for placement in others. Please check with authorities in your state/region for specifics. Many of the laws, it seems, are based on ensuring drivers have an unobstructed view of their surroundings, which Window Mounts certainly can block. Regardless if Window Mounts are legal in your state, we suggest you use all of the accessories we sell in the most responsible fashion possible.
There’s a dirty little secret in the mobile industry: It’s not truly mobile. Mobile products were supposed to emancipate us from umbilical-like phone cords and let us go anywhere at any time. That didn’t happen, and while we’re at it, what happened to flying cars and laser guns? The future has been a bust so far, but we digress. The mobile industry could be more accurately labeled as partially mobile. The problem being these wondrous devices require a lot of juice, and if they run out they’re about as useful as shards is of crumbling brick. Sure, there are battery cases and tangled webs of wall and car charger wires, but is this the mobile future we all expected? There has to be a better way, and perhaps there already is.
