A LEASH CALLED “PANDA”

The current number of mobile phones subscriptions in the United States is over 420,000,000, the equivalent of 1.39 phones for every man, women and child in the country. One guess is as high as 80% of these devices will be dropped, lost or stolen within the first 120-days of use. The Panda Leash from Panda International, Inc. (Panda) is a welcome fix for the problem of dropping or loosing phones, or almost any handheld device.

Panda is a leash fastening system that safeguards cellphones, iPods, BlackBerrys, Palms, almost any PDA. It is ideally suited for digital cameras as well. A small, spring-lock appliance secures the leash to the phone, releasing it instantly with the push of a button. It adheres strongly with a 3M adhesive pad that peels off cleanly by hand. Panda’s micro-thin coil leash is designed for ease-of-use and non-interference when making or receiving calls. It is a mere 5” in length, fitting easily into purse or pocket, but stretches easily to arm’s length use without restraint or pulling. If dropped, the attached phone or device is stopped short of impact by the length of the leash. 

“Clip-on/Clip-off” jewelry attachment is a novel feature of the product, and a Panda exclusive. Attachment clips allow a favorite bracelet, chain or piece of jewelry to be clipped on the leash in moments for any look or style that fits the mood or occasion.

The novelty and appeal of the Panda Leash™ were featured at the April CTIA Wireless 2008 expo in Las Vegas at the show’s “Fashion in Motion” program which presented the most innovated and creative products in the wearable, wireless design.
