Gravity Mobile Phone Holder

Friday, December 16th, 2011

If promotional items need to have the wow factor to impress an audience, then the Gravity Mobile Phone Holder has it in bundles. This is a great desktop branded product with some major selling points. This mobile phone holder comes packed in two parts for self-assembly, making it easy to post, with low mailing costs. The recipient simply slides the upright section onto the base and the holder is ready to use.

Gravity Mobile Phone Holder

Gravity Mobile Phone Holders have a silicon panel on the front to hold the phone in place. It will hold any model of phone in place. We have “tested” several. The silicon panel gives the appearance of the mobile phone hanging, without any support. Your device is then at an optimum angle to use the many features of the latest Smartphones without having to hold it in your hand.

As a desktop promotional item, Gravity Mobile Phone Holders would fit perfectly on any desk due to a sleek modern design and non-slip padded base to avoid scratching any surfaces it is used on. The silicon panel has a dimpled finish, adding to the attractive appearance when not being used to hold a mobile phone.

Over time, the user may experience a loss of “stickiness” from the silicon panel on their Gravity Mobile Phone Holders. This is perfectly normal and is a result of the object picking up dust particles from the air. To solve this, the user simply has to remove the pad from the unit, wash with water and dry gently (to avoid ripping) and the “gravity defying” properties will be restored!

When we first tested out the Gravity Mobile Phone Holder, the team tried to see just how sticky the silicon pad was. You can almost turn the product upside down with the mobile phone staying in place (always better to put a hand underneath to catch your device when it eventually falls!) Our YouTube video shows the item in action. The Gravity Mobile Phone Holder will also keep in place pens, highlighters or sticky notepads. In fact any promotional item will “stick” in place, try it and see!

Gravity Mobile Phone Holders are just one of thousands of promotional items that the team at Steel City Marketing are able to source for your next branding campaign!

Smartphone Gloves

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Steel City Marketing are pleased to introduce Smartphone Gloves, the latest innovation to hit the promotional merchandise industry. You, your staff and your clients can say goodbye to cold hands when out and about using your Smartphone to text, call, browse or tweet!

As you can see from our recent video on this product, normal acrylic gloves cannot be worn whilst trying to operate a Smartphone or Tablet. Smartphone Gloves have been specifically designed to keep the wearers hands warm but allow full use of touch screen devices.

Smartphone Gloves work by having a special mix of material woven into the tips of the thumb, index and middle fingers of both gloves. The main body of the glove is still acrylic, but the 3 tips on each glove are made from a mix of cotton, polyester and copper. As you will know copper has amazing conductive properties and touch screens work on electrical impulses from our fingertips. With the copper woven into the tips of the Smartphone Gloves, it allows those electrical impulses to be transmitted through the glove.

From stock, Smartphone Gloves come in just a couple of standard colours, black for the main body of the glove being the most popular. All these gloves come with the “grey fingertips”. The minimum order quantity for a stock colour is 160 pairs. Should you be considering this item, but want to match your corporate colours, bespoke designs are available from 2000 pairs minimum. All orders from 160 pairs upwards can be branded to each glove. Other branding options when considering the bespoke route are fabric colours, rubber palm grips, woven tabs to the cuffs and contrasting woven stripes.

Smartphones and tablets are hugely popular, and this popularity is only increasing. We are always looking at ways to make our use of these mobile devices easier. Smartphone Gloves now provide a solution to being able to do all these things with our “tech”, without having to remove (and possibly lose) gloves that are useless when using our devices.

If you would like to discuss visuals, prices or samples of these fantastic Smartphone Gloves, then please give a member of the sales team a call on 0114 2754150.
