Kickstarter

Hello World! Thank you for checking out my project! 

What is this?

The Magnetic Light Switch Cover is a standard size switch cover with an added delightful and useful surprise. This product simultaneously allows you to turn your lights on and provide obvious storage for keys or tools. Once it is time to leave, you can grab your keys/tools and you always remember to shut your lights back off. 

What does it do?

Each of these durable switch covers have high-strength rare earth magnets incorporated into the back of the plate. The magnets incorporated into these switch covers are attracted to metals which are in the make-up of the keyring on your keys. You are able to easily install this switch cover in place of your existing cover and it is able to hold your keys in place until you need them! Pretty cool huh?!

Who am I?

As I stated in the video above, I am a 21 year old college student at Philadelphia University studying Industrial Design. I thought of this idea in my sophomore year at school while I was brainstorming new products. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much that night, but now the product finally has a chance to be produced and brought to the masses!

How you can help...

With the funding from this Kickstarter it is my goal to gain the attention of a manufacturer and prove that there is a market for this product. With your help and support I plan to do just that. You can help make this product a success by pledging as much as you wish and receiving rewards listed to the right. Pledges as low as $1 can seriously help and better the chance at finding a company to pick this up!

Remember that on Kickstarter, if we do not reach the $10,000 goal, then I will receive NONE of the funds! We have to spread the word and get this everywhere!

Specifics and details:

This product is Patent Pending.

Custom switches include: Any double, tripple, or quadruple toggle switch cover. Colors include, but are not limited to, white, ivory, black, orange, dark blue, lime green, and red. If you have another color in mind or want to match it to a certain pallet, that is no problem.

You can see a picture of a few custom made switch covers as well as the postcards here: http://www.jakefrey.com/kickstarter-rewards.html

Every cover has magnets in them. Standard, single switch covers have 2. Double switches have 3, and so on.

The magnets inside of the cover do not affect the current of your electricity whatsoever, and for those of you who carry USB Flashdrives or memory sticks, these magnets will not affect them in any way. Only electromagnets can alter devices like these.

If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask. I respond quickly!

Thank you very much for viewing my Kickstarter and I hope that you can pledge!
