I had to look for the best lighting in my house.
I like it, wouldnt pay 4 bucks though, maybe $2

I have big hands, (flame away Im sorta tall),
It was tight on my middle finger, and it may be even tighter on a dude.

Its needs tweeking, but its an ok start

I wish you all the success OP... I can never knocked another person for thriving for achievement.

Great pics shoefreakbaby! I'm in a hotel for two weeks without a camera so I wasn't able to take pics of it on the actual device. I'm going to add those in the OP.

You can still drop your phone when it's not in your hand, like if it slides off a table. OP said its impossible to drop your phone. Still doesn't look bad though.

 

[shoefreakbaby]

You gonna have to run me that hand model check

 

[sooperhooper]

Thanks for support guys
@shoefreakbaby I've definitely been considering lowering the price point. I chose 4 to make sure shipping was covered.

Is that dropping your phone or bumping your phone? This prevents you from dropping it from your hand.

All you have to do is make the finger-holes adjustable. Other then that, not bad...not bad at all.

^ My next step is to actually make S M L and XL sizes. Thanks for the advice tho.

Your product reminds me of the FlyGrip:

Just wanted to show what kind of competition is out there. I respect your grind and hustle OP...best of luck 

 

[sooperhooper]

Very accurate comparison. Pretty nifty. 30 bucks tho.

My exact thoughts.

 

[sooperhooper]

Same thing we all said about the Snuggie too

 

[dauldierce]

what if you have a iphone and u want to rotate it. the case i got for my iphone protects if it it falls, looks good with the phone and has a strong strong grip.

 

[thejrob]

good luck g

Hoping the best for a fellow NTer.

But in all honesty, that is never gonna catch on. People will think they are "too cool" for something like that, some people will think its unnecessary, or some people will think it looks ridiculous.

I could only see this catching on with the elderly or if you have some type of condition, Parkinsons, etc.

 

[wawawowee]

Very accurate comparison. Pretty nifty. 30 bucks tho.

It is a better product (looks better/ sleeker/more durable and doubles as a kickstand) although it does cost $30.

Although I don't see the day to day practicality of your product.

I can envision the fabric/material getting ripped up/frayed/ stretched  out over time (maybe that's why flygrip went plastic?).

Is this you?

Amazon product ASIN B007O354AM
There's also something like this:

Amazon product ASIN B0073UGQSU
These types of products are out there but they haven't caught on. This can only mean that either the market for such a product isn't large enough or all of the products out there are doodoo. In this case I think it's the former as the FlyGrip is as pretty good as one can get for a product like this. The $30 price tag notwithstanding.

As another poster alluded to, there are so many ways to drop/damage a cell phone that products such as this cannot be marketed as a safety device of sorts. They simply can't prevent damage to a smartphone in any meaningful way. Otterbox-like products do  a much better job in terms of safety anyway and you can't compete with them. They have to be marketed like a cell phone case (the ones strictly for looks/ accessory); an accessory that enhances the features of a smart phone. The phone case/ accessory market is saturated though.

I'm not trying to disparage you but potential investors would have these questions/thoughts. 

You're heading in the right direction via your mindset (not in terms of the product but in terms of producing a product/service). 

The most important thing at first is not the success of a product but building the skill set necessary to produce a successful product.

With the right skill set success will come.

Very nice idea and has potential to be something.

Honest thoughts though...it's kinda ugly and I don't really want to be seen rockin' it.

I don't have any suggestions but with your patent in place if you make it to where it doesn't hurt to look at I would definitely cop because I'm sick of dropping my phone and ****.

Keep us/me updated and good luck.



Also I would contribute but I'm a broke college student, sorry OP

Shoebabyfreak got them Dennis Rodman/ John Amaechi type fingers. Same fingers as ol boy in the thread about yambs mentioned with the female with long fingers.
