The other day, I was talking to a lady at Starbucks and she had her iPhone on the table, it was one of the new ones, unfortunately the face was broken. No, it was not the app you can get which makes the screen look cracked, it actually was. She could barely afford to buy the new iPhone, but she bought it anyway because she really wanted one, and she did not buy the insurance in case it was damaged, she still uses it with a cracked screen and it still works, but it's not very pretty.
Now then, I'd like to talk to you about a potential invention, one which would protect an iPhone, but also allow it to be mounted in the groove of a skateboard. It would have to be something that you could put into your pocket, and slide into place, where it would be locked in tight, and protect the iPhone even if the skateboard rolled over on it or hit a curb. It would need some type of a cover which could be integrated into the groove of the skateboard which was cut out for that purpose. It would also have to be shock mounted therefore when it was taking digital pictures or videos the camera would not take a jiggled image.
If skateboarders could do this they could put their tricks online on their Facebook page, e-mail them to friends, or use these video clips for other purposes. Parents can also see what their kids are up to, and the skateboarding cult of young people doing extreme exotic tricks could be enjoyed by all online. Some of this video footage could be used in augmented and virtual-reality living room gaming. Skateboarders across the world and planet could join in groups online, practicing their new moves, and charting their progress in competition with others from other nations and cultures.
Would it be hard to invent something like this? Absolutely not, and I believe we have all the materials we need right now to do it, plus I believe that a system could be invented to trickle charge the battery on the iPhone from the spinning wheels of the skateboard itself, or each time it went over a bump it could be collecting energy, similarly to how a shaker bull flashlight works.
It would be neat if some innovative entrepreneur could produce such a special shock mounted iPhone holder skateboard mount, because I am sure every skateboarder in the country who had an iPhone would buy one and use it. Please consider all this and think on it.
