My invention stories

Completion date: May 3, 2019 I survived last 2 weeks with the new business card holder.  It's quite nice-looking, however, it is indeed too small.  I could only fit few business cards on each side...I literally threw my cellphone to the floor when I was trying to get a business card out of it (haha~) I thought hard.  Finally I changed from 3 closed sides to 2 closed sides.  Like a folder-type sleeve for easy access. 1.  First I took out the stitches. 2.  Used a curvy ruler to get a perfect curve.  It was so convenient I didn't even need to mark with silver pen, I just cut with a cutter. 3. Cut a 3 x 1cm strip for the D-hook.  Note I made it longer so that the left flap actually hid the end of the strip. 4. Stuck all parts together and sew them together. Completion date: April 18, 2019 As mentioned previously, I sometimes have to carry 4 things (phone, iPad, Apple Pencil, business cards) together to a meeting. After making my Apple Pencil

Completion Date: April 13, 2019 It’s a lot to carry when I have my iPhone, iPad, Apple Pencil and business cards. I work with my Apple Pencil everyday at work, and when I am bringing the set of 4 to a meeting, it is just plain cumbersome. I discovered the design above on Taobao. I thought about magnetic way, adhesive way, and even thought of designing an iPad handle to accommodate the Apple Pencil.  But in the end, I felt the elastic band attachment was the most reasonable, the most flexible and the most secure way of housing the Apple Pencil. So I found some leather material from my tool box.  This beige leather (scrap) was purchased from Taobao few years ago. This color goes perfectly with my new iPad case. The golden elastic band was purchased from Taobao few years ago (2016 October). RMB$1.39/yard. The steps: 1. Prepared paper model. 2. Cut the shapes out on leather. 3. Try the elastic band stretched on iPad.  Make it shorter than the iPad length.
