We will initially release the top two colors: 1# Minimal White and 2# Petroleum black – Kickstarter exclusive. These are already confirmed.
We believe your suggestions will help us to make a great product, that’s why we would like to ask you to participate in choosing SQueo's colors from the beginning.
We will add two more colors according to your preferences. Please drop a line in the comments section and tell us which color you would like your SQueo™ to be.
After the campaign ends, a survey will be send to all backers, before production starts, to confirm what your chosen color is.
Unique SQueo™ Features
- Water-resistant devices usually have a plastic cap covering the recharging socket… If you forget to close it the device is damaged. We found a solution to this by developing an innovative magnetic charger instead. This will make you feel totally safe with your SQueo™.
- We wanted SQueo™ to be both reliable and aesthetically pleasing. Test after test, we reached the the perfect alchemy: a screwless design!
- SQueo™ technology is based on the highest level of waterproof capability available today (the IP68). In order to achieve this, the device had to be hermetically sealed. Our idea was to create a device compressed by two main covers with a rubber isolating element in between.
- SQueo™ will be certified as IP68 with 8 being the highest point of the international protection (IP) rating for liquids.
- SQueo™ will be certified as IP68 with 6 being the highest point of the international protection (IP) rating for solids.
How it all started
…We thought to ourselves, “When you’re partying in the rain, taking a shower or enjoying an afternoon at the beach, you need a better, cool looking device with good sound quality”.
So we decided to create a virtual image of a waterproof speaker that allowed you to listen to music and receive phone calls too.
A waterproof cell phone? We wanted to create something a little more exciting. Something that is well designed, easy to use.
A device whose innovation and design stand the test of time, something that our children will look at several years from now and will still say: Wow, this is cool!
SQueo™ was entirely conceived and designed in Italy.
We are extremely happy with the result – cutting edge technology and an iconic design, that has been thoroughly tested and offers a practical solution to modern technology’s vulnerability toward the environment.We also take pride in working with manufacturers who share our vision of quality and efficiency.

Risks and challenges
Timely fulfillment of promises is a priority for us.
Before launching the Kickstarter campaign, we had already taken SQueo™ off of the drawing board. We spent a great deal of time and care in the development process, to reach what is currently the pre-production phase.
After having produced several prototypes, we can now offer you what you can see in our video and on our website: functional and reliable device - SQueo™.
Our team has plenty of experience from its previous projects in tackling the various issues that may arise during the production process.
As well as our trusted manufacturers in China, who have ample experience in producing high quality hi-tech products. We are therefore confident about our capability to deliver SQueo™ to you.
Although we do not foresee delays in production, quality control reasons sometimes require a temporary production break in order to make sure that only top quality products are shipped. We want to make sure we deliver a product YOU will be delighted with.
