smartBandStand Radical New Approach to Wearable Tech
Other
Ballintogher, Ireland, March 28, 2014 - This is not a gizmo or a gadget. This is a tool.
We all use our smartphones a lot these days, and the uses for them keep growing and growing. Here at smartBandStand, we love the great outdoors, and use our smartphones for so many things - for GPS, making videos, checking tides - you name it, whether sailing, hiking, or mountain biking, our smartphones are a great companion.

But sometimes we worry about losing or damaging our expensive devices - cold, wet hands reaching into a coat pocket can easily fumble and drop things.
And loads of other things we do with our smartphones, whether outdoors or at home, require us to hold it up in front of us, or find a place to lean it. Watching films in bed. Viewing the news (or recipes!) in the kitchen. Our device ends up hidden in the bedclothes or propped against a salt shaker, usually too far away, When we take the train, plane or bus, arms can get tired trying to hold the phone up at the right viewing distance and angle, especially if there's a coffee in the other hand, and a sandwich on our lap. Wouldn't it be cool if we could hang the phone off the seat in front, or make it stay on our arm or knee?
How about trying to make videos (or "selfies")? An adjustable stand would be very handy.
Trying to get dinner on the table? A screaming three-year-old? Imagine putting Bugs Bunny on the phone, on the table, in a secure stand where little eyes can see it, but little hands won't drop it on the floor. Peace.
What if we are driving a car or a truck with no hands-free kit? No SatNav? The smartBandStand will stay on the dashboard, or hang from the AC vent. Now that's really handy!
By the way, where should it go when we have no pockets - like when out jogging, or working in the garden in warm weather?
People have devised smartphone stands already, and people have devised smartphone armbands, too. What if we could combine these in one device?
Smartwatches have come on the scene, and can be used hands-free, but a smartwatch isn't the same as having your phone!
Why has nobody made a carrying band which will let me use my phone while it's on my arm or wrist? If they did, I wouldn't need to consider a smartwatch, or one of those neoprene rubber-strap arm pockets (which make it very hard to get the phone out when it rings).
Why has nobody made a good-looking, tough-as-nails, properly-designed all-in-one device to help us with our smartphones in almost any situation? Helping us to make videos, take pictures, watch stuff, read stuff? With quickly interchangeable urban or outdoor cases?
Why has nobody devised a stand/armband which lets me detach or replace the smartphone in one simple movement, instead of needing to pull it from a neoprene pocket, or unhook it from clips, clamps, screws, or rubber arms?
