Using Polymagnet Smart Magnet Technology, OnYou Solves the Ease of Use of Most Phone Cases

CAMPBELL, Ca. and LAS VEGAS, Nev. – CES 2016 – January 5, 2016 – Correlated Magnetics® (CMR), the inventor of Polymagnet® customizable Smart Magnets™, and OnYou®, designers of magnetic mobile device accessories, have announced the successful development and delivery into production with their first joint collaboration.

The OnYou for iPhone® 6 and 6s accessory includes an arm band and case for runners that leverages state-of-the-art Smart Magnet technology to create instant snap on, twist off accessibility to the apps and features of the device like never before. No more fumbling with cases, clips or heavy accessories while trying to keep pace during a run.

“OnYou enables athletes to actually use their phones while they’re working out without breaking stride, in a way the countless armbands on the market fail to do,” said Scott Bauer, co-founder of OnYou. “Our patented design is thin and light yet keeps your phone secure during the most intense workouts.”

"With Polymagnet technology, OnYou was able to provide the targeted strength, force and feel, required to make a magnetic solution work flawlessly,” said Andy Keane, CEO of CMR. “The customized Polymagnet Smart Magnet in the OnYou creates a secure connection you can feel and the ease of snap off/twist off accessibility.  This is simply not possible with conventional magnets.”

The OnYou for iPhone 6/6s includes a magnetic phone case and backing made from durable polycarbonate, and comes with its own custom, reflective, mesh armband. The complete system uses electronics-safe magnetic and is available for order now at OnYouStore.com for $49.95.
