DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The owner of Best iProducts™.com – a Daytona Beach design and manufacturing company – recently returned from Las Vegas where he introduced the iEraser™, The Ultimate Screen Cleaning Device™, at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show at the Venetian Hotel.
Robert Skelton√, a University of Central Florida Business Incubator client in Daytona Beach, said his iEraser™ received a great reception at the show, which was attended by more than 153,000 people. Located in the “Eureka Park” section of the show, the company joined 64 other up-and-coming international companies, which were accepted into the new showcase area of the CES show.
“We knew this was the first market segment we wanted to enter after sensing the increasing popularity of tablets, PDAs and other hand-held electronic devices,” Skelton said. “The iEraser™, our flagship product, is the result of nearly two years of product development and is unparalleled in its ability to clean fingerprints and smudges from glass-screened tablets, monitors and flat-screen TVs.”
Skelton, who has dubbed himself “iRob,” says the pocketsize rectangular iEraser™ – which comes in black, white and pink – removes fingerprints from any kind of glass screen with a single pass without rubbing back and forth. Later this month, it will be sold for $14.95 from the company website at www.BestiProducts.com or www.TheiEraser.com.
The iEraser™ was a hit at the electronics show as journalists covering the event saw how quickly their smudged computer screens were after a complimentary screen cleaning.
Because of the response, Skelton said he has secured a space triple the size of this year for the 2013 CES in one of the main convention halls alongside major players such as Microsoft, Sharp, etc. And, next month the company will exhibit at the annual CAMEX show in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they will market to more than 2,000 college bookstore buyers.
With manufacturing offices in Edgewater, Fla., Best iProducts™.com recently opened its design studio at the incubator office at Daytona Beach International Airport, Skelton said.
Doris Bernal√, site manager at the Daytona Beach location, said Best iProducts™.com is a welcome addition to the incubator, joining five other companies, and she is looking forward to helping them expand their product line.
All Best iProducts™.com products are 100 percent made in the U.S.
“Rob invited me to his shop and told me the story behind the iEraser™,” Bernal said. “I was so excited about his invention that we got him into the incubator program right away.”
Bernal describes Skelton as a “serial entrepreneur” who is waiting to have the next $10 million idea. “He not only has the iEraser™, but the potential to start a successful high-growth company here in Volusia County.” She said the incubator is a key partner in his business adventure and they are “going to help him take his idea to the next level.”
