Slinger! The Smartphone Accessory that keeps it all hands-free!

The Slinger is a simple smartphone accessory designed to be worn around the neck so your phone lays comfortably at chest level. Obviously this provides a little extra insurance against dropping your smartphone, but don't underestimate this nifty accessory! Cory and Luke will demonstrate how something as simple as the Slinger can greatly enhance the usability of sophisticated apps like Oko, Aira and MORE!
Slinger's retractable strap is adjustable, meaning it can be worn like a lanyard or extended to be worn over the shoulder like a messenger bag. When you're done, just retract the cord completely and tuck it securely under the Slinger's case. The case itself doubles as an adjustable phone stand and includes a secure slot for credit cards, cash and ID.
Our Assistive Technology Specialists: Cory and Luke, will teach you everything you need to know in order to get Slingin' confidently. If you have any additional questions about the Slinger, please add those down in the comment section and we will endeavor to help!

[@mayhem1955]

the slinger works with the oko app when crossing the street

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Yes, we demonstrate that in the video

[@motobojo2]

How does the Slinger interact with phones that have wireless (Qi) charging? Especially if you are layering it on a case. I have a case that does not impede the Qi charging, but I'm hesitant to add the material and further distance that the Slinger would add, especially if I put credit cards and the like in it.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

If you put slinger over the part of the phone that connects to the magnetic charger then it will not allow you to magnetically charge any more.
