About this project

Hello Everyone!!  We appreciate you for checking this out…With your pledge we can make this idea become a reality.  Pledge now and be the first to get one!!

We have designed The Steer Safe as a hands-free solution UNIVERSAL to all steering wheels AND all smart phones (with or without a phone case attached).  Abides by all laws from the Department of Transportation.

Key Benefits:  Review FAQs below for more details and information

·      Universal, Effective, and Safe when used responsibly (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc.) 

·      Professionally engineered to keep your phone flush against the top of the steering wheel

·      Designed to not interfere with deployment of the airbag

·      Ability to rotate/tilt for customized viewing in landscape mode and placement for proper viewing of speedometer. Can use full functionality of your smart-phone - when vehicle stationary

·      Phone stays in place securely and will not hit your legs while rotating the steering wheel

·      Installs in less than 30 seconds and no tools are necessary. 

·      Overcomes top complaints inherent with all other hands-free accessories: limited viewing, bad placement, limited access, having to move eyes too much, unable to use GPS properly, can't use speaker phone, among others

The Steer Safe has been thoroughly engineered and only the highest grade materials, plastics, and rubbers will be used and and we will conduct extensive quality assurance in the factories located in the USA and China. We plan on creating many unique and different colors/designs.

Once funding expires we plan on shipping them 60-75 days out.

Safety is the #1 priority and all driving laws must be followed.  Use of your phone should be limited to when vehicle is parked and/or stationary.

Some of the uses of The Steer Safe include:

·      Making/receiving phone calls

·      Using your GPS

We have thoroughly enjoyed brainstorming, designing, and prototyping The Steer Safe, and need your help to bring it to you.   With your support, we will finalize The Steer Safe design and manufacturing to bring it to market. 

Thanks for you Support!!

Hi!

We are very excited to get you all involved with this product. Why did we come up with this idea? Pretty simple, my wife commutes quite a bit and I wanted her to be able to use her smart-phone in a safe and convenient hands-free manner. Nothing out there provided that level of comfort until we brainstormed this idea. We are so excited that it is coming to life and we hope you are too.

I have an MBA from New York University and extensive professional experience in business development, finance, and consulting, with the passion to make this successful. The entrepreneurial spirit and drive has taken us this far. With your pledge we can take it to the finish line together.
