SLYK manufactures beautiful Apple-certified charging stations for the home, plus a range of complementary, contemporary, elegant, robust and practical stands that support your phones and tablets, enabling hassle-free, hands-free device use all around the home.

The SLYK Collection includes unique, design-protected and patent-pending device stands, that opens up a wide range of opportunities for using your devices at home, wherever you may be, hands-free. Whether your phones or your tablets, in the kitchen, the bathroom, or the bedroom or anywhere around the home – SLYK has the solution to comfortable use of all your devices. Using nano-suction technology and genius patent-pending design, our device stands provide simple practical solutions to using all your devices hands-free around the home

The charging stations are desirable home-appliances, that look beautiful, for charging and holding all your family’s Apple iPhones in one neat, well-organised place, without the need for cables and from a single wall power-socket. Allowing simultaneous charging of six iPhones and a further two devices via USB, each SLYK charging station will make the challenge of home-charging tall the families iPhones a comfortable and easy process.

The ideas for SLYK were born in 2015. Products have been designed and developed for nearly five years now.

SLYK, as a brand, was first launched in late 2019 and our plan is for all our products in the ‘SLYK Collection’ to be available to ship to customers worldwide in 2020, with the initial pre-market launch and advanced pre-ordering available to our early-bird customers, offering excellent discounts, along with the already manufactured patent-pending, unique Pillow Stand product, which is available now.

As a young company, we are looking to build a following for the SLYK brand and to deliver products that our customers want, asking our customers to help us develop and grow by them advance-ordering some of our products, much in the same way as ‘crowdfunded’ products might, but using our own website as the place customers pre-order ingenious, innovative and unique products.

We have two types of products within the SLYK Collection – device stands and a charging station.  Originally all the products were designed with the Apple iPhones and iPad in mind.  These have a central ‘control’ button, either physically or built into their screen.

Having designed each product we now can say that some of them work with all smartphones and tablets and some do partially.  For each product here is the current position.

Pillow Stand

It is possible to use any device in the stand, but those that have control buttons along their entire base may have these areas obscured by the frontal ‘jaw’ of the stand.  This may make detailed operation of the device in portrait mode difficult. 

Some of our customers have found that by not inserting the device too deeply they can access these controls, but mostly they are inaccessible. However, in landscape mode, assuming the controls are still at the portrait position they can be accessed and the device can be used perfectly well.

When watching videos and making calls, activities where the device is not regularly ‘controlled’ by the user, the stand provides a perfectly adequate support for the device to allow hands-free use for this period.

Bathroom Stand

This stand has jaws that are similar in design to the Pillow Stand and therefore has the same opportunities and restrictions regarding non-Apple devices.

Table & Wall Stand

Any smartphones or tablet up to 12 inches in length/width can be supported by the Table & Wall Stand, not just iPhones and iPads.  This is because the devices are held in place using a nano-suction pad which adheres to the centre of the reverse side of the device and does not restrict access to the controls of the device in any way.

Floor Stand

This stand has the same nano-suction pad as the Table & Wall Stand and therefore has the same characteristics and can hold any smartphone or tablet, whether Apple or another manufacturer.

Charging Station

The charging station has been designed and is certified as being ‘Made for iPhone,’ by Apple, through its Mfi programme. This means that it meets Apple’s rigorous requirements in terms of design, construction and technical specification. As such it is an iPhone charging station first and foremost, specifically designed for charging six iPhones simultaneously. 

However, for convenience, it also has two USB sockets which can each be used, via an appropriate lead, to charge any smart-device from any manufacturer that uses the USB charging standard, again simultaneously with the other iPhone charging points being used.

Our target markets are the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA. However, we believe that with modern warehousing and fulfilment systems will allow us to deliver the products anywhere in the world. Initially, we will be trialling customers in the UK, inviting them to buy our products in advance of their manufacture and depending on our levels of success with this activity, we will open our systems to be able to market to the rest of the territories and the rest of the world.  

Our unique Pillow Stand is available now and the remainder of the stands and the Charging Station (in black) will be available as a staggered product release schedule, across September, October and November 2020.
