POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

One year ago, we walked into Shark Tank with sweaty palms, big dreams, and our little Kindle straps in hand. 🦈📚

We pitched our little business to the Sharks, never expecting the rollercoaster of surprises that came next.

Your iPad has a case. But your hands are still doing all the work.

That’s why I designed this.

I wanted protection, a place for your Apple Pencil, a detachable cover AND a comfortable way to hold your iPad. All in a case you’d actually want to carry.

Meet the Strapsicle iPad Case. I’m pretty proud of this one, and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on it.

Preorders are OPEN. Get 15% off before it hits stores.

Swipe through and I’ll show you why I made it. 👀

Six months in production. Now they’re on the water. I can finally say our Strapsicle iPad cases are nearly here.

Ben here, co-founder of Strapsicle and the creator of this one. Seeing something I’ve worked on become a product you’ll soon have in your hands is a pretty special feeling.

To our Kickstarter backers, thank you for backing the idea. Yours will be sent first, before the cases head into stores across Australia and the US.

Missed Kickstarter? You can still pre-order and save 15% while they’re on their way.

Choose aqua, black or pink for compatible iPad and iPad mini models at strapsicle.com.

Can’t wait to hear what you think.

Work trip or girls trip? Who else is coming to the ACOSH midnight launch party at Barnes and Noble in NYC?!

We’ve never been to one before and we have no idea what to expect - do we dress up?!

If you’re coming, remember to come and find us because we may be giving away a little surprise of our own which may or may not have to do with our own ACOSH product launch…

Previously on… who’s coming to the USA? 👀

I’ve made my choice between Tamz and Ben. Let’s just say one took it better than the other 😂 Watch for the verdict.

Four years ago, Strapsicle started at our kitchen table. This morning, I woke up to photos of our straps and clutches on the shelves at InMotion in UK airports. @inmotionstoresuk @inmotionstores

Heathrow. Luton. Gatwick. Stansted. Manchester.

I keep thinking about someone picking up a Strapsicle before their flight, or spotting us when they land. We never imagined our little idea would become part of someone's journey like that.

I've looked at these photos more times than I can count. It's beyond our wildest dreams.

Flying soon? Find us at InMotion and pop a Strapsicle in your hand luggage. Happy reading! 🇬🇧

Lou 😊

Ben tried to sneak an idea in before we officially pitched to Lou but I think it's backfired splendidly!

Follow along to see as we both argue our cases why one of us should join Lou on her upcoming USA trip!
