Your Phone Goes Where You Go, Treat It Right W/These 10 Buys
This piece was written by the Cracked Store to tell you about products that are being sold there.
You buy a new phone every year, but odds are you're driving a car from five or ten years ago, and that means there's some disconnect. Maybe you have to balance your smartphone on your steering wheel, or maybe you glued a webcam to your fender to help you parallel park. Needless to say, your car isn't the futuristic marvel you've always dreamed about. But thanks to these gadgets, it can be. And they're coming at you fresh from the Cracked Store. (And take an additional 15 percent off with the code PREZDAY15.)
U-Grip Cup Holder Car Mount For Phones And Tablets
Most phone car mounts suction cup to your windshield or dashboard and then fall over when it gets too hot or you play with the suction too much. This one sits right in your cup holder, making your phone just as safe as your most precious cargo: an ice-cold milkshake.
This $59.99 gadget is available now in the Cracked Store for just $12.99, or 78 percent off.
Aduro PowerStation Four-Port USB Charging Station
New cars have USB plugs right there in the dashboard, while old cars just have cigarette lighters. OK, so what if we said we had a cigarette charger that had a USB port? You'd be impressed, right? Well listen, buddy: This one's got four USB ports. We'll let you collect yourself before sharing that it's also available in the Cracked Store for 76 percent off its $49.99 price -- a paltry $11.99.

ExoMount Magnet Air Universal Smartphone Car Mount

GoSafe S37 1080p HD Sony Exmor Sensor Dash Cam
A dashcam is only as good as the footage it provides, which is why the GoSafe adjusts for weather conditions and lighting to make sure everything it records is crystal clear and not blasted with rainwater. That way, you can be sure you'll get maximum Reddit upvotes and/or win a court case about a traffic collision. This $169.99 camera is available in the Cracked Store for just $99.99.
The Black Box Dash Cam automatically records accidents based on its G-sensors. We're not exactly sure what G-sensors are, but we figure they've got to be better than A-F sensors. It also guarantees crisp 1080p resolution, day or night, complete with audio. This $149.99 device is available in the Cracked Store for just $29.99.
Ztylus Stinger Car Charger Emergency Tool
If you ever get in an accident that requires a glass breaker or seat belt cutter, you're going to want to make sure you know exactly where they are.

It's a device which is as useful as its name is on the nose, and it's available in the Cracked Store for 9 percent off -- just $19.95.

You can now charge your phone while it's suspended on your dashboard with this Qi-enabled wireless phone charger. It's kinda like magic, except we can totally explain it with science. It's just $34.99 in the Cracked Store.
HUDWAY Glass Heads Up Navigation Display
This glass sheet is a transparent heads-up display that projects a map on your dashboard. Yeah, it is 20 percent larger than any smartphone, but we'd take one the size of a thimble if we could have a freaking HUD on our dashboard like it's an X-Wing. It is seriously cool, and it is just $39.95 in the Cracked Store.
Even if you're still rocking the very first Protophone, you can deck it out. Go Big Or Phone Home.
