The Problem
Anyone with an iPhone will acknowledge that the internal speaker ain't great (why do you think there's such an aftermarket for supplementary speakers)...Well actually, the main problem is simply that it's pointing in the wrong direction so most of the sound quality is dissipated laterally out to the side whilst you're facing the screen! You can of course stick the end of the iPhone in your ear which helps the sound a lot but that really doesn't help your appreciation of movies or other visual materials on the screen unless you prop the iPhone in a vice next to a mirror. The alternative is my after market case design which redirects full quality sound whilst you're watching the iPhone screen.The Solution
An iPhone case (individually designed for different iPhone models) with a moulded attachment at the base of the case to reflect sound waves from the speaker at the bottom of the iPhone to the user facing the screen. This sound reflection can be achieved with just a simple fixed or folding panel that can be flipped open to approximately 45 degree angle from the bottom of the iPhone to reflect sound to the user looking at the screen. It can also be achieved by a 2 piece case with a snap on panel angled at approximately 45 degrees to the case. Best of all though is to emulate the design of dog or cat or bat ears and design the sound reflector so that the iPhone speaker is at its focus and the full breadth of the clip on "ears" surface is designed and angled to direct sound to the ears of a user at a comfortable distance from the screen. A further extension of the solution is to provide a "double ear" design so one "ear" directs sound to the microphone in the iPhone whilst the other "ear" reflects sound back to the user so as to improve directional sensitivity of the microphone as well as the speaker. The "ears" can be moulded into the iPhone snap on case or can be manufactured in a 2 piece design connecting to the iPhone case.Product Comparison
- I have not seen anything like this on the market other than auxiliary speakers or earphones
Key Features
- Low cost
- Easy to fabricate
- Dramatically improves iPhone sound quality (and optionally microphone directional sensitivity)
- Easy to use
- With cute design; a fashion statement as "ears" and phone case can be made to look like cute animals
- Negligible running costs with no extra batteries needed to boost sound quality and volume
- Convenient without need to carry around an auxiliary speaker

The Description
The French Door lock is a portable locking mechanism that uses "J" hooks attached over the existing handles to a central lock and creates a deadbolt style lock bar between the two doors. Its meant to be portable and easy to use while rugged and strong enough to prevent intrusion. The lock would be ajustable as all french door handles widths vary by a little bit. Designed to be used in two modes. 1st - Quick Access, this mode allows the inside user to push a button that quickly releases the shaft and allows the door to be opened quickly in an emergency. 2nd - Key Locked Access, this mode allows the user to lock the doors permanently (or how ever long its on) with a key and prevent the shaft that holds the doors together from being removed. Could be to restrict access for certain audiences or storage. This lock would also be able to be used indoors or outdoor doors. This lock would provide peace of mind for security, baby proof doors, or just keep people out of places they shouldn't be. Video Description: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B66yMXvdtkNsNVJud2NMOTg1RlU/edit?usp=sharingThe Customer

Key Features

The Problem
Im a letter carrier for USPS, summer time is around the corner. most of the vehicle we use for delivering mail is not equiped with a/c. Just a small fan that circulates warm air inside the cab.

This will be beneficial to the health of the individual it will reduced stress and fatigue, etc. for the duration of that long hot summer.you can even use this in your own personal vehicle if the a/c is broken.The Solution

The Problem
Hello, my name is Jose Barrios (QuirkyJae) and I'm the creator of Nu-Lock. Have you ever gotten tired of using the same old keys to unlock your lock? Or memorizing a few numbers for the combination? Wouldn't you want something easier that you can use to unlock your lock without someone breaking in? Well worry no more!The Device
Nu-Lock is a tech-lock that acts like a regular lock, except it doesn't need a key or a combination. It requires a connection between the Nu-Lock and Phone in order to unlock it! When you leave Nu-Lock alone, it stays connected to your phone. If it detects another phone trying to unlock Nu-Lock, it sends you an alert to your phone! It prevents theft! It's high-tech, revolutionary, modernized, and it's NU!

The Problem
I do a lot of cooking for my family and often I have to cut through tough foods like frozen meat and really firm vegetables. Often, in order to get enough force to cut through the hard object, I end up grabbing the knife at the handle with my right, and then press the blade down with my left, which always hurts inside my left hand (I even cut my hand open one time), so I often put a rag in between, but that really doesn’t do it.The Solution
My idea is to put a rotatable small plastic/silicone cover that attaches to the handle on the knife, that can be flipped over, so you get a surface to press on when needed without injuring your hand Or....... The other idea is to press on along the top edge of the blade, a secure plastic/silicone cover to provide a great surface to press on when needed.Product Comparison
- N/A
Key Features
- Plastic Cover That Makes Cutting Through Hard Objects Safer

The Problem
Auto navigation is boring and the variation is hardly different amongst brands. Just changing the voice between a male or a female or the accent from British to English is hardly a personal differentiator.The Solution
Why doesn't a company like Garmin make navigation more entertaining. Imagine the Clint Eastwood voice setting "go ahead, turn left here", or live the day as the Iron Man and have "Pepper" as your assistant providing navigation, or "Alfred" guiding the Batman, get your directions from Sean Connery with a real Scotsman accent and brogue. "Liven on the edge" with Steven Tyler or even "the Arnold" providing an order to "turn bok".Product Comparison
- No navigation company today offers this feature, this would be a product differentiator.
- No different than buying a new song on iTunes or a new ringtone for your phone - buy a voice for your Garmin
Key Features
- Celebrity or character voices for personalized navigation
- The voices could be patented and protected unique and owned by the navigation provider - much like the skits or gigs are owned by the network when the late night host leaves to join another network.
- Could be an ad on feature to any navigation AP and you could charge for voice adds like buying a new ringtone

The Description
It's a pillowcase with a built in neck roll and eye cover. Please see all graphics. Most pillows lack proper neck support. Pillowcases have not changed much in hundreds of years! Keep your pillow, let's fix the pillowcase. The neck roll could be made out of memory foam or an inflatable tube. The eye cover would be a light blocking piece of material, that could easily fold under the pillow. You can block the light, but still breathe.The Customer
Anybody that wants a better nights sleep. It helps with neck and shoulder pain. It can also help with snoring and sleep apnea. The light blocking eye cover is great for shift workers, or just getting a few extra winks of shut eye in the morning.Product Comparison
- There are plenty of pillows on the market. There are no pillowcases like this.
Key Features
- Built in neck roll.
- Light blocking eye cover.

The Description
There are voice recorders, timers and medical alerts out there. What I'm thinking about would be the best thing for all these and more. An electronic device that could be worn by anyone that has preset reminders, an option to record your own and or have a monthly subscription for a medical alert and gps capability incase the person wearing it got lost or disoriented. The device could even alert loved ones that the person wearing or carrying the device was outside the home perimeter or alert athorities to their location. It can also have an alarm clock. Some reminders that would sound off at preset times and days could be a voice saying things like its time to brush your teeth. Its time to take your pills. Different reminders depending on the situation or individual needs and more. The possibilities are endless!!!The Customer
Alzheimer patients and there loved ones. Business workers and anyone that needs to be reminded. Older people and everyone.Product Comparison
- Voice Recorders
- Medical Alert Systems
Key Features
- There is nothing like it out there. It saves lives, Finds missing loved ones and restores a sense of security
