I ran across this little gadget as my phone slid off the seat in my car for the millionth time - wedging itself in the most out of reach nether region between the seat-post and the passenger side door . It is a quite simple idea that is currently looking for backers via Kickstarter.
Sticko is basically just a set of suction cups tethered together with a small piece of flexible rubber; the unit allows you to stick your phone pretty much to any smooth surface. The real bonus is that they are extremely portable because of their small size which allows them to be taken anywhere.
Gal and Boaz Zucker came up with the idea after Gal purchased a bulky phone mount for their car, the unit was difficult to set up and was not meant to be taken in and out of the car. As an industrial designer, Boaz started to think of ways to make the mount more functional along with a simple good looking design.
After doing some research on phone mounts that exist in today's market, Boaz found that they were not easy to use, and lacked in design. Also, none of them gave you the option of easily taking them out of your car and traveling with you from place to place so that you will always have somewhere to mount your phone.
The couple spent the past 7 month developing, designing, and testing many different prototypes of Sticko. Testing out different materials, different sizes and different designs until they found the perfect combination so that Sticko will be simple, strong and look cool in all its uses, especially when connected to your smart phone.
