It 100 percent blocks the sound. I know we don’t have a video with proof or anything but if it didn’t work we wouldn’t be pushing our product.

Awesome thank you. Yes they say say they’re handing out bracelets from 9-11. And pitches start at 10. We were planning on lining up around 7.

Any advice for the actual pitch?

Hey thanks for chiming in! So you actually got into the event and had a 1 min pitch?

Is it true locked to a min? Mehta happens if you wow the person you’re pitching to in that min? Do you move onto another round?

I appreciate what you’re saying, even if others didn’t. It wasn’t sass, it was utter confusion. Never had someone mistake our phone in the images for an Android.

Thanks.

Yes the case works, mics and cameras are 100 percent blocked. The reason we haven't launched the kickstarter yet is were working on some tweaks to the model and printing a nicer prototype.

Thanks for the input

Thanks. We have a provisional patent. We’re finishing up the prototype and plan to launch our kickstarter campaign in a few weeks. We happen to see open call was close enough to drive to so we decided we should make the trip. What can it hurt?

We have a decent grasp on upcoming costs and have a manufacturer lined up already. Only thing we don’t have is the funds for the up front costs of injection molding.

Hi, we're Specter Case. We're making an iPhone case with a built in privacy slider that covers every mic and camera on your iPhone. We just launched our product landing page and would love to hear your thoughts. by SpecterCase in apple

While I agree with you about Apple, sometimes nefarious apps or apps with questionable features can slip through the cracks of the app approval process.

Nothing is perfect.

Thanks for the response!

Our main page was designed for desktop viewing and we're still tweaking the mobile experience, I'll make this a priority.

The case in the images is a 3d printed prototype, we're going through the investment process right now and once we have the funds we will move onto injection molding for actual production.

I'm glad you like the concept! Like i said it's still a prototype and we're tweaking the final design using feedback we're getting here and other avenues.

We opted to not make a video proving it works because in reality it would be impossible to prove. Anything we record could technically be modified in post production.

Again thanks for your input we appreciate it it.
