Smartphone ring +
Cap opener

This product utilizes a smartphone as a handle to enlarge it, and by applying the principle of leverage, it is designed to make it easier to open PET bottle caps with minimal effort.
This product helps alleviate the burden on people who regularly experience difficulty opening caps, including the elderly, those with hand or finger disabilities, and even those with long fingernails.

Not only does it serve as a phone ring to prevent your smartphone from falling, but it can also be used as a cap opener when needed.
Furthermore, it can be attached to the cap of a PET bottle to be used as a smartphone stand, making it convenient for various everyday situations such as watching videos.
In a monitor survey (130 men and women aged 20-79), 90% rated the product highly for its function as a smartphone stand, and its ease of opening as well as its practicality for everyday use were also well-received.

Some people who have difficulty opening bottle caps may feel a psychological burden because they don't want others to notice that they are using assistive devices.
This product attaches to your smartphone, which you carry with you at all times, minimizing its appearance as an assistive device and achieving a design that is naturally easy to use in everyday life.
In addition to being readily available when needed and less likely to be misplaced or forgotten, its key features include the ability to be used discreetly without attracting attention.

Leveraging our expertise as a cap manufacturer, we have created a shape that is compatible with the caps of over 90% of PET bottle beverages on the market ^*.

The cap is very easy to open and close, making this a very user-friendly product. Furthermore, the fact that they incorporated diverse feedback from many people during the development stage demonstrates a wonderful understanding of the product's versatility. Considering that there are many people overseas who are facing similar difficulties, I hope they will consider more proactive overseas expansion.
