By Moshe Weiss
My name is Moshe Weiss. I live in St. Paul, MN along with my wife and 3 children. I am a Rabbi and teacher by trade and have always had ideas and inventions, always looking to find simple solutions to everyday problems. A good friend of mine gave me an iPad® 2 as a gift. Immediately I wasn’t happy with the sound and tried to use my hand in order to amplify it. After one day my hand was getting tired so I cut out a band-aid box and affixed it to the speaker area to replace my cupped hand. It worked and the SoundBender® was born!
The Invention Process
That very week I began making clay and wax molds trying it out on my iPad® and started developing the prototype with a local manufacturer and industrial designer. Soon after what began as a wax mold and toothpicks was transformed into 3D CAD models for prototyping and injection molding.
After perfecting and re-perfecting the SoundBender for improved functionality and sleek design I am truly proud of the result… and so are my kids 🙂 We have modified the original design to accommodate magnets on the new iPad®. If you have an iPad® you will be thrilled to have a SoundBender the next time you want to enjoy your iPad® like never before!
