Overview
The lightweight Palmzi provides ergonomic support for mobile devices, letting you text, stream, work, read and game while helping you correct bad posture and avoid “text neck” -- a very real physical ailment caused by looking down at mobile devices for extended periods of time. Use the Palmzi just once and you'll never look at your device the same way again!

Purchase more than 1 Palmzi and save on shipping!

WARNING: Prolonged use of mobile devices can be harmful to your health.

Before and After PalmziIf you think this is just a scary tag line, you're partially correct. The truth is no one fully knows the long-term effects of using mobile devices because they didn't exist even 30 years ago.  What medical professionals do know is that staring down at a mobile device for extended periods of time leads to a condition that has come to be known as "text neck."  Chiropractors the world over recognize it as an epidemic of our modern culture. There hasn't been a cure or method to reduce the harmful effects of long-term mobile device use, until now:

Say Hello to PALMZI.

The Palmzi is the world's first ergonomic palm support for mobile devices in a stable, lightweight, foldable design. Here are just a few of the benefits of using the Palmzi:

  • Raises your mobile device to a safe, comfortable, eye-level distance.
  • Instantly corrects poor posture.
  • Helps reduce neck pain and stiffness associated with mobile phone usage, also knows as “text neck”.
  • Lightweight and durable yet portable enough to carry in your bag.

Here's How the Palmzi Works

  • While seated, move the soft foam pad to a horizontal position.
  • Extend the aluminum pole to a comfortable viewing height.
  • The pole can rest on your seat between your legs or be extended to rest on the floor.
  • Rest your hands on the soft foam pad at eye-level and use your mobile device as you normally would.
  • The rubber foot and the weight of your hands keep Palmzi in place so you can use your device for long periods of time without neck pain and stiffness.

Here's Where You Come In

We have been working on Palmzi for more than a year, and we know that it is a useful, one-of-a-kind product that will support millions of mobile users as they go about living their digital lives.  We are looking for health-conscious, forward thinkers like you to help them do that while combatting the negative impacts of poor posture.  But working with designers, prototyping, factory chains and patent processes can be extremely expensive.  We need your support to bring the Palmzi to the marketplace so you, your loved ones and millions of others can keep streaming, texting, reading, working, and swiping in comfort.
 

So Why Should You Support Us?

  • You’ll be the first to get a Palmzi.
  • You’ll never look at your mobile device the same way again.
  • You secretly love good posture.


What You Should Know

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to fund the production, distribution, and marketing of the Palmzi. Our team consists of the Palmzi inventor, an invention and patent consultant, web and marketing team and some legal help. Every penny of the funds we collect will be used to make the best product possible while delivering a solution that is affordable for the masses.

  • Our team has taken products to market before and understands the challenges and obstacles.
  • Years of thought, research and planning have gone into the design of Palmzi.


Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute now, we would still like your help in the following ways:

  • Ask folks to get the word out and make some noise about the Palmzi on social media.
  • Use the Indiegogo tools to help share this campaign.
  • Remind your loved ones about the dangers of poor posture when using mobile devices.
  • Recommend the Palmzi to your friends, family, colleagues and even medical professionals.

We ask that you take this epidemic seriously and help us spread awareness through this campaign.
