DESIGN NAME: iLoop
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Smartphone Holder/Stand
INSPIRATION: 1. Have you ever wonder how great it would be to see who is calling you even though you are lying on your bed and your phone is on the other side of the room and you are just too lazy to stand up?
2. Have you ever had such stressful phone conversation that you just needed something to relieve the stress with, something to squeeze like maniac countless times?
3. Have you ever tried to have face-to-face video call with your friend hands free and found yourself trying to place phone in upright position leaning it to some books, laptop or anything alike and phone just did not want to stand still?
4. Have you ever tried to take group photo with you phone and realized that every time you are the one missing on that photo? Why? Because you are the one taking the photo.
5. Have you ever been in the gym using your phone as a stopwatch but every time you wanted to check the time you had to stop workout routine and walk to the phone to check the time?
These and many other everyday situations have been main inspiration for development of the iLoop. I realize you have many various phone stands/holders/docks but non of those are as funky and fun and multifunctional as iLoop.
