Windows Phone Thoughts: RoadWired Announces "Micro Fastener" Carrying System

"RoadWired® has announced that it will market and distribute Rivet® products to its wholesale and retail customers. Rivet is a new line of interchangeable “micro fasteners,” designed to carry cellphones, compact cameras and other small devices. RoadWired, a Rochester, NY-based company that designs and manufactures its own line of carrying cases for laptops and other portable electronics, says there has been immediate interest and order activity in the Rivet line, which was developed in Australia by Phil Johnson, founder of Rivet International.

According to RoadWired, the patent-pending Rivet system is unique in both form and function. The product—which is positioned as a high-tech alternative to traditional plastic belt clips and other carrying accessories—is distinctive at first glance, as all of its components are machined out of aircraft aluminum and stainless steel. According to RoadWired president Michael Hess, “among tech/gadget lovers and design fans, this product seems to trigger the ‘gotta-have-it’ response on aesthetics alone, but there is much more to the story.” Hess explains that the Rivet system is modular in nature, allowing it to be used interchangeably as a belt clip, dashboard mount, or even a “docking point” on a carrying case or bag shoulder strap. “Virtually every day we identify another application for this system,” Hess says. “Aside from the obvious uses, there are boaters and pilots using Rivet components on instrument panels and cabin walls to keep keys, flashlights and tools handy, students clipping phones and MP3 players to book bags, and campers using them for pocket knives and compasses.”
