CASELLET, a Kickstarter Project That Needs Your Help [Sponsored]

Sébastien Page ∙ November 21, 2011

What I really like about Kickstarter is that anyone can come up with an idea, get funding, and turn a concept into a prototype that will eventually become an actual product.

With that in mind, it's amazing to see that product development is not only for big companies anymore, but for people like you and me to create something awesome. This is exactly what Eddie Hsieh is trying to do.

When he couldn't find what he was looking for, he decided to create it. This is when the CASELLET (case/wallet) concept was born. Eddie now needs to raise $22,000 to bring his product to life, so we sat down with him and asked him about his project...

MobileMount, a Successful KickStarter Project [Sponsored]

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

A couple weeks ago, we told you about a new Kickstarter project called "MobileMount," an accessory that can serve as both a kickstand and a suction cup mount for iPhones, iPads, or pretty much anything else that has a flat surface.

Jose Sanchez, the guy behind the MobileMount, needed to raise $20,000 to start his project. Thanks to Kickstarter, some 1,300+ backers have already pledged close to $60,000 for the project, which goes far beyond Sanchez's wildest expectations and there are still two more weeks to go, as anyone can still pledge until November 29th.

We sat down with Sanchez and asked him a few questions about his project. It's actually quite an interesting story to see how someone like you and me can turn a simple idea into a real product...

The i+Case Aluminum Bumper Adds a Touch of Class to Your iPhone

Oliver Haslam ∙ November 6, 2011

We're big fans of Kickstarter here at iDB. If there's a great iPhone, iPad, or iPod accessory to be had, the chances are it has originated from one of the numerous extremely clever guys and gals who are looking for a way to get a project underway on Kickstarter.

One of those projects is the i+Case, an aluminum bumper turned case that we think adds a touch of class to any iPhone 4 or 4S. Hey, it's got to be better than one of Apple's rubber band bumpers, right?

MobileMount Stand Makes Suction Cups Cool

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 27, 2011

We've covered a few KickStarter projects in the past, mainly because we think some of the best iPhone and iPad accessories come from the little guy, rather than the big companies knocking out forty different iPhone stands in ten different colors. We also like to help those same little guys get off the ground, as long as their project is good enough.

The latest to come across our radar is MobileMount, which can serve as both a kickstand and a suction cup mount for iPhones, iPads, or pretty much anything else that has a flat surface...

ELASTICK Stand for iPad – A Stand for Musicians

Guest Author ∙ August 19, 2011

There are a lot of unique iPad stands out there, and ELASTICK is definitely one of them. The ELASTICK Stand can be used with the iPad, along with other tablets, clipboards, etc.

What separares this stand from the pack is that it can be held on a microphone stand. This functionality can come in handy for multiple circumstances, with the obvious use case being a music stand...

WINGStand Offers a Unique Keyboard Stand for the iPad and iPhone

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

We just love Kickstarter projects here at iDownloadBlog. Not long ago we told you about The Infinite Loop, an iDevice stand with a "difference." Today, RazorianFly drew our attention to another stand on good ol' Kickstarter, and we just love it. Judging by the fact the project has already smashed its target funding, it seems we're not the only one!

Put together by a Mechanical Engineering and Design student called Daniel Haarburger, The WINGStand is an ingenious little stand that offers a way to keep an iPhone, iPad or pretty much any tablet in an upright position, perfect for reading recipes and the like.

But that's not all. The WINGStand has a party trick, and it's a trick that makes it stand out from the crowd, and the reason this writer has already offered up his hard earned (well, earned) money...

Steer Safe: An Innovative Hands-Free Car Kit for the iPhone

Cody Lee ∙ August 5, 2011

Have you ever wanted a convenient way to access your iPhone while in your vehicle? While there's no shortage of automobile accessories for Apple's smartphone, none of the ones currently available seem to put your device in a place where it's easily accessible.

I'm not talking about for texting and driving, but a car stand would be nice for things like answering phone calls or listening to music. Kickstarter project founder Sameer Desai hopes to capitalize on where others have missed the boat with his new product, the Steer Safe...

The Infinite Loop iPhone & iPad Stand – Kickstarter Genius

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated April 2, 2018

Here at iDB, we love a good Kickstarter project. Created so independent designers and inventors can get the funding needed to progress, Kickstarter has been home to numerous much-loved tech in the past.

The latest iDevice to receive the Kickstarter treatment is a smartphone and tablet stand, dubbed "The Infinite Loop."

Yeah, we loved the Mothership reference in there too.....
