Ultimateaddons revolutionising the
road for bikers
Ultimateaddons’ sleek, premium mobile cases allow bikers to run
satellite navigation, Bluetooth intercom and audio apps such as
Spotify, while charging the device at the same time.
With 15 different attachments to fit almost every bike on the
market, a hardwire cable connects to the battery with a Bluetooth
earpiece, all that is needed to revolutionise the road for all two-
wheel enthusiasts.
The company believes that its products are unique in the industry as
each case complies to one of the highest waterproof ratings possible
– IPX5 – and can still be charged, a feat which no other waterproof
mobile case can boast.
B
ikers can now stay connected to the road, their friends and their
favourite music at all times – in all weather conditions – thanks to
a UK company’s revolutionary range of mountable charging devices.
Ultimateaddons, based in the Scottish Highlands, is changing gear
at the perfect time to offer its waterproof cases for the latest iPhones
and smartphones, including the new iPhone X.
In addition, the range of fitments ensure that every bike model is
catered for, instead of the ‘one size fits all’ products which are not
always entirely suited for different manufacturers.
Ultimateaddons was created in 2008 by Craig Derbyshire, who
has a passion for unique mobile electronic device accessories and
is a keen biking enthusiast himself. He prides his range as being
contemporary and premium with a look and feel befitting the most
discerning of enthusiasts.
