Something to Write Home About

September 7, 2018

When we released Paperback almost exactly five years ago, we knew we had created something special. Half the people who saw it said some version of “I need this in my life!” (The other half said “That’s what the Notes app is for!” but never mind them.) Point is, people still like writing real notes, lists, and reminders.

Today, we’re announcing an evolution of Paperback called Notepad.

Notepad is an erasable adhesive pad for your iPhone or laptop. You can write with a ballpoint pen and erase with any eraser! It’s pretty magical.

We made special pads for iPhone 8 and X, and the rectangular pads work anywhere: on laptops, tablets, and any other phone, with or without a case.

Notepad comes with a pen and an eraser.

Notepad. Write. Erase. Repeat.

Presenting…

April 18, 2018

We’re sitting there, after all the presents have been opened, looking at all the paper. What can we do with this mess? Make some origami?

Et voilà! Origami Wrap was born.


Origami Wrap gives a second life to wrapping paper. Just tear or cut along the dotted lines, and follow the numbered instructions to make a Crane, Dog, Iris, Frog, Balloon, or Fish!

Origami Wrap comes in a pack of five 20″x30″ sheets.

Power Couple

February 1, 2018

Over the past few years, Ilovehandles has expanded into a number of categories: home furnishings, kitchen products, personal accessories, and even puzzles. Well today we’re launching two new products that hark back to our roots in tech accessories. Introducing Tug and Node!

If you have an iPad pro, you probably have an Apple Pencil. If you want to charge them both at the same time, you need two cords AND Apple’s easy-to-lose adapter for the pencil. And if you have both of those devices, chances are you have an iPhone. How do you charge all three at once?

Enter Node, the lightning multi-charger. It’s tiny, but it’s powerful.

Node. One for all.

As cool as USB-C is, many of us were sad when Apple killed off MagSafe, which has undoubtedly saved the lives of countless laptops over the years. That disappointment led us to a key insight: Why not place the magnetic break-away connection at the outlet?

Meet Tug. It works with any power cord you might trip on! It also works as a quick switch; just tug to turn off a lamp or vacuum.

Tug. Make a clean break.

Both products will ship March 1.

Plus Size Model

January 24, 2018

Plank was one of our first products after Rock Band, the viral product that launched Ilovehandles. Plank solved a personal problem for us, and we thought we might be able to sell them. Mostly, it was for us. We quickly realized that we weren’t the only ones who appreciated Plank’s simplicity and utility.

When we launched Plank, the idea was that you could unload everything from your pockets onto a shelf that is no bigger than it has to be. As phones got bigger, so did Plank. For most phones today, the Plus size is simply a better fit.

The wait is finally over the for those of you who requested a Walnut or Black Plank Plus. There is no longer a tradeoff between the size you need and the finish you want.

We’re starting out with nine cities: Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Portland, and San Francisco. Let us know if we missed yours.
