The GoGoStand is a folding iPhone stand that fits in the credit card slot of your wallet. When assembled, it can prop up your iPhone (or similar device) at 3 different adjustable angles for convenient hands-free viewing. The GoGoStand supports both landscape and portrait device orientations.  Durable and flexible, the GoGoStand is reusable and the plastic won’t crack along its creases. Guaranteed for 1 year.

 

 

 

Sometime back in September 2008, I came up with the idea for the iPhone Paper Clip Stand (youtube it!).  It was created out of necessity. What made it so great was that it was FREE (love that word).  What made it NOT so great was that you couldn't really take it with you in a pocket or purse without a) messing it up b) it messing you up or c) both.  So a few weeks later, I came up with a prototype design of the GoGoStand. Lots of grocery store club cards and expired credit cards were cut up and sacrificed in the pursuit of the perfect design. I believe that the GoGoStand is the best and simplest use given the constraints I set for myself. (must be plastic, must be size of credit card).

My name is Dean Liou. I’m a total nerd, and I’m also the person responsible for all the wacky computer designs you see on http://envador.com . Some memorable computer cases include the ToiletPC and the GuitarPC. It’s been a while since I’ve created a crazy computer case since my family takes up most of my free time. We have a 10 month old daughter that we adore. We live in California where during the day I work as a senior web application developer at a major electronics manufacturing company.

GoGoStand had a rough start. I had a tough time finding a manufacturer to even give me the time of day. I created my first prototypes of the GoGoStand with old grocery store club cards and expired credit cards.  It had been a year since I came up with the idea and I really wanted to start selling them, no matter what it took.  The very first batch of GoGoStands was CNC milled and hand scored and creased. I also printed out “GoGoStand” labels from a label printer and stuck them on by hand. These days, GoGoStands are die cut and pre-creased J

I thought the idea of this site is to advocate on behalf of the product you like, not make immature ad hominem attacks on the competing product.

I got one and I love it. One of my friends saw it and begged me to loan it to him for a trip, and he's getting one now. It's such a simple and effective design, and being able to have it on you at all times makes it so much more useful.

This is a dosing card used to administer the exact dose of OTC children’s anti-fever or anti-pain medications, such as Children’s Tylenol, Children’s Motrin, etc.  It’s a two-sided card, with one side in blue for Children over six months and the reverse side in green for infants under six months. There is a ‘window’ on both sides of the card, and an inner sliding sleeve that gives the exact dosage necessary based on the child’s weight that appears in the window when you pull the card either up or down to get your child’s weight.  The dose is given in either teaspoons or milliliters.

Meinstein is the brainchild of Evan Meiner and Jonathan Stein, who formed the company to serve the unmet needs of consumers in the retail health and safety area. For years Dr. Meiner, an ER physician and trauma specialist with many years of ER experience (and pediatric training at one of the world's top pediatric hospitals), saw that more and more ER visits were for routine bouts of child fever – and our first product, the Pediatric Fever Fighter, was born!

The product has a unique feature beyond being the only product that gives parents the precise dosage for fever relief.  There is a graphic on the inner sliding sleeve that shows parents how to safely alternate the different kinds of medications (ie, Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen) with a timeline.

 

Product has no additional options.

Great for anyone who cares for children. Important to have this inexpensive chart on hand for all fever meds (name brand and store brands). Love the photos of infant vs children which as many of us know can be a dangerous error; finally the advicemore regarding using both acetaminophen and ibuprofen is invaluable; I learned this by experience but it should be common knowledge for a persistent fever.

What a great idea! I wish someone had invented something like this when my kids were younger! I have been in the situation where my child's fever did not respond to the dosing on the package and this would have been a great tool to have!
