Launch of patented retractable phone lanyard brings to market
a new multi-functional accessory that revolutionizes the way people
connect with their smartphones.
Slinger LLC today launched its flagship product, Slinger, a
patented, customizable, retractable phone lanyard with integrated
full-size wallet, ID card display, vertical and horizontal
kickstand, and the ability to hang your smartphone horizontally or
vertically. The adjustable length of the lanyard allows it to be
worn as a traditional lanyard for easy-access and hands-free use,
over one’s shoulder like a purse, or cross-body, minimizing risk of
dropping, loss, or theft. When not worn, the one-of-a-kind lanyard
can be retracted back inside the Slinger housing for compact
storage. Slinger fits on all major smartphones without adding
unnecessary bulk and can be attached directly to a phone or case
using industrial strength adhesive. Additional customization
accessories match Slinger to any style or personality.

“We are extremely excited to get Slinger to market and share our
product with the rest of the world,” said Steven Shaw, CEO and
Co-Founder of Slinger LLC. “Throughout Slinger’s two-year
development we’ve felt like we’ve been sitting on an awesome
secret. Everywhere we go, school, work, concerts, airports, the
grocery store, everyone is holding their phone; dropping it, losing
it, juggling all sorts of other things. It’s time to stop holding
it. It’s time to get a Slinger.”
While Slinger’s patented functionality and customizability
enhances smartphone use for all users, Slinger is especially useful
for older adults and those with disabilities. Slinger LLC is
currently engaged with government and private sector organizations
to integrate and distribute Slinger with related Assistive
Technologies.
