Cell Phone Holder for Your Car – MobiValet

A month ago I discovered a new accessory for your cell phone – a holder for your car from MobiValet. The case is very versatile. You attach it to your dashboard and that’s where your phone will be while you drive. Any phone will fit. You don’t need to unplug your cell phone.

Installation is easy. Wipe down your dashboard with a cleaning solution, dry the area, press your MobiValet holder against the dashboard. You are done! Adhesive will keep it attached, and will not leave resedue if you decide to remove it.

The fun part is the design. It suits fashionistas as well as fans of classic styles. MobiValet has a Valentine’s Secret Admirer promotion now where you can get a cell phone holder with free shipping – Gift for him or a gift for her.

Enjoy this fun accessory and be safe in your car.

New Nikon image-stabilized micro lens is very impressive and is coming soon to the Internet near you. This lens is perfect for close-up, nature, portrait and general photography. This 85mm f/3.5G lens fits Nikon DSLR cameras like the D90 and D5000.

This lens is compact and lightweight. The lens has an impressive list of features. It is motorized for fast silent autofocus without changing the length of the lens.

It cures shaky hands with second-generation vibration reduction (VR II) system. This system provides both a steady viewfinder image for composition and sharper results at slow shutter speeds – up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible. As a result you get noticeably sharper images.

With a picture angle equivalent to a focal length of 127.5mm in FX/35mm format, it extends options beyond those offered by standard kit lenses, ideal for portraits. Quickly enhance the look of your photographs with background blur by utilizing the rounded nine blade diaphragm. You get more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements. This lens gives 1:1 magnification and minimum focus distance of 28cm. This lens gives a flattering perspective for portraits.

If you were trying to break into close-up photography without spending a lot of money on the glass, this lens could be your ticket to extreme macro photography.

The lens is available for pre-order for $529.95
