There are certainly cheaper options for wiping smudges from your touchscreen gadget, but these colorful microfiber cloths from Chicago-based startup Toddy Gear are pretty snazzy. You don’t have to use a spray with them, they have an antimicrobial coating, and they’re washable.
Toddy Gear founder and CEO Todd Gabel says he created The Toddy cloth as a fashion-smart yet functional accessory for Apple’s iPad and the growing legion of touchscreen devices from Samsung and others. “It looks very elegant, almost like having a nice pen,” he says.
For now, there are eight designs in two sizes — 5 by 7 inches for $14.95, or 9 by 9 inches for $16.95. There is promotional pricing if you order more than one. And the company is offering free standard shipping for the holidays.
Gabel is a serial entrepreneur who started Toddy Gear in May. The product just launched about a month ago. You can order from the company’s web site, or via Amazon. And they are available in some Verizon Wireless franchise stores, Gabel says.
“Next year is when we will really start the push into retail,” he says. The company will have a booth at January’s big Consumer Electronics Show, where “we will really start to talk about the new versions of the Toddys” including an expansion of the line aimed at “tween” girls.
