OnYou Magnetic Case & Sleeve

OnYou Magnetic Case & Sleeve ($75…or $50 on Kickstarter now)

Scott Bauer: Co Founder of OnYou – Mobile Accessories

Do you run with your phone? I know a lot of people do. I see them running with the phone in their hand or tucked up in one of those armbands, but recently I came across a new way to run with your mobile device. It keeps the phone out of your hands but immediately accessible should you want to switch songs, use apps, or check a text you just received – oh, and it uses magnets. Two college students from Washington DC started a project called OnYou, claiming to be fed up with the current mobile accessories available to runners. They developed a magnetic smartphone case and compression sleeve that’s on Kickstarter now. The compression sleeve wraps evenly around your arm, so unlike their tourniquet-style counterparts, the sleeve actually stays up while you run. Best of all, the phone isn’t trapped to your arm – you can attach and detach it without missing a stride. Check out their video and campaign at http://bit.ly/onyouwares
