How did the Shapeheart adventure begin?
Shapeheart is the story of two entrepreneurs who could no longer stand doing sport with poorly designed and uncomfortable armbands. Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, they were able to fund their project of an armband with a detachable magnetic Sleeve and an integrated heart rate sensor, and directly test their idea with consumers.
The trigger
Shapeheart was launched thanks to the FNAC Startup Award 2016, which recognized the cardio armband. But the feature that really won over consumers was the detachable magnetic Sleeve.
Simpler and more practical than many systems on the market, we decided to apply this unique concept in the world to an entire range of phone accessories for sport and urban mobility, and developed the following products:
2017 - Armband
2018 - Sports belt
2019 - Bike mount
2020 - Motorcycle Stand and mirror mount (classic)
2021 - Motorcycle Stand for sport bikes, mirror mount (screw-on), scooter dashboard
Shapeheart in a nutshell...
Shapeheart products are simple with an unbeatable value for money for sport and mobility. It's the brand that invented and currently markets the only phone accessories with a detachable magnetic Sleeve, a concept patented in 2017.
