Stikey: The Designer Michelakakis and Elias Kalogeropoulos, are the founders of a start-up product design, dcubed, based in Vrilissia.
Their goal is to transfer their ideas to end-products aimed at the public within and beyond Greece.
The Stikey is their first product as dcubed and is a versatile accessory for smartphones.
In order to be able to finance the production, the children chose to present it to platform Crowdfunding, Kickstarter.
The accessory is firmly in contact with the mobile phone or phablet (tested with a 5.5 screen!) Using a built-in magnet, offering support in a horizontal and upright position.

protecting them from being confused and strained. It is designed to always be with the user, easily tapping into his keys to have it with him when needed.
Finally, the product hides an extra function in its packaging! Part of the package is a magnetic base that is placed on any horizontal surface (eg wall) and is used as an extra mobile placement point.
In a nutshell:
- It is versatile
It is designed to enhance the experience of using a smartphone as it focuses on more than one feature her. Using magnetism, it works as a portable stand for the mobile phone in a horizontal as well as upright position, while its design also allows for the safe arrangement of the charger cable or headphones so that they do not get tangled and drawn out when we carry them. - It's portable
Our goal was to design a product that, although portable, would not be easily forgotten or buried in a drawer. That's why Stikey, entering the user's keys as a keyring, is always at his disposal when he needs it. - Environmentally friendly innovative packaging
We designed the packaging in such a way that part of it can be used in combination with the product. This way we achieve the reduction of waste while offering extra functionality to users. Once the package is opened, the bottom can be used as a magnetic base for the mobile phone, having the ability to be placed on a variety of surfaces.
The project campaign started on Wednesday 22-04 and will be open for 1 month. The goal of the campaign is to collect 12.000 pounds (15.000 euros), for the partreatment of the product.
