Smart Phone Lock Pouch: Timed Solenoid Lock for Screen-Time Control, Launched in Singapore
Smart Phone Lock Pouch: Less Screen Time, Built In
Parents want children off their phones during school, and many adults want to cut back on social media. This smart phone locking pouch solves both with a simple idea: put the phone inside, set a time, and it stays locked until then.
For school use, a parent can set a lock period, such as 9 AM to 6 PM. The pouch cannot be opened until the set time, after which it unlocks automatically. The same feature supports digital wellbeing, letting users lock their phone away for an hour or more.
CADLETE Designs developed the product from concept to a fully functional product through 3 to 4 design iterations. Our work covered the mechanical housing, 3D CAD, locking mechanism, solenoid lock integration, PCB and embedded hardware, and firmware, with functional prototypes tested to validate the lock and electronics.
The product has launched in Singapore, and CADLETE is now supporting injection molding tooling and production preparation.
