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!

      Yes, when you are using the Maps app to get directions the watch will vibrate when you need to turn, and will vibrate on the side that you need to turn on.

      I believe that Eyedaptic have a Y cable that splits the USB C port out into two USB C ports. You can then connect an external battery into one of these for increased battery life.

    Hi guys, I'm using a full sized Freedom Scientific Topaz video magnifier. One of the features with this magnifer is that the screen and arm that holds it can angle right or left 45 degrees. This is useful as I can seat in front my computer monitor and just look to my right and read a doc on my magnifier. Unfortunately I'm not sure the Topaz is still being made..
