Michael from ThingSling
Hey Guys!
We're delighted about your interest in ThingSling. We are a tiny startup in St. Paul, Minnesota: Johnny the inventor, Connie the organizer, and me, the "marketer."
Johnny went to 3M in Minneapolis, where a materials researcher developed the adhesive. It's very strong all on surfaces except silicone and directly on the back of an iPhone 4. Because the iP4 surface is perfectly smooth, it's hard for any adhesive to get a good attachment. We recommend using a case or applying a screen protector to the back of iP4. We're working on a better solution for the next production run. ThingSling works great on all Android phones.
We will also have a choice of colors and custom branding available soon.
A portion of every purchase goes to support "Strap Ops" an initiative to make ThingSling free for citizen journalists. ThingSling has proven to be an ideal tool for holding a camphone for hours on end. So far we given away about 50 to livestreamers around the world, and they love it. Please pass on the word if you know someone who would benefit. thingsling.com/strap-ops
We've chosen to manufacture and assemble ThingSling right here in St. Paul, USA. We don't like the idea of overseas sweatshops and worker exploitation.
Final assembly and order fulfillment is completed by a local organization that employs people who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction.
It is our mission to be a responsible member of the community and a good corporate citizen (although we're hardly "corporate").
Please let me know if I can answer any questions or provide any assistance.
Special thx to 3bs for giving us a mention
