Heideck, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/09/2017 --Braking sharply is sometimes inevitable. But: When the expensive smartphone or the 1.5 liter water bottle once again flies from the car seat to the floor, every driver wishes for better storage possibilities in his car. While there are some car organizers for the trunk and the back seats, until now no one really focused on the passenger seat. Yet it's often empty and thus the ideal surface within reach. That's exactly what inspired frequent driver Jens Lang to develop his own solution. No product on the market was satisfactory, and so Lang designed the Slotpack: https://www.slotpack.com/.

Just as important as having numerous storage options is the requirement that the Slotpack can be attached and removed from the passenger seat within 10 seconds, using the existing seat belt.Ready for production, the Slotpack is patent-pending. Since May 19, 2017, anyone can support and pre-order it on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter starting at EUR 89 (circa 99 Dollar). And the good news: The Slotpack is already crowdfunded. After a week online the campaign reached its goal and the first Slotpacks will be shipped this summer.

The number one distraction when driving: falling objects

A study by a German insurance company shows that it's not the mobile phone that's the greatest distraction in the car, it's falling objects. Fifty-three percent of respondents cited this distraction most frequently. And as forty-seven percent of respondents admitted, this leads to dangerous situations. Jens Lang, as a long-time frequent driver, can confirm this:

"Over the past ten years, I have driven about 260.000 miles. During that time, I unfortunately had two minor rear-end collisions. Both were caused by the fact that I was trying to fish something out of the footwell or glove compartment. Even at traffic lights or in a traffic jam, it's not safe to lean across the center console to get something out of the glove compartment. Then when my smartphone display broke on the center console during a 'landslide', it was clear that a solution had to be found," said the founder and inventor of the Slotpack.

A quality product well-designed and manufactured in Europe

The Slotpack has a total of ten compartments and storage options in different sizes. There are compartments for large bottles, a large tissue box, an umbrella and a safety vest. There is also an outer pocket for quick insertion of things like parking lot tickets, as well as a mesh pocket for small items (such as key chains, etc.). Useful enhancements are planned for the future, including a cooler for drinks which can be inserted and removed as a module from one of the large compartments. Jens Lang has stringent requirements for both the materials used and the production process, so that the Slotpack is complex yet stable, waterproof and washable, perfectly suited for everyday use. Lang has been looking for a producer specifically in Europe. Short distances, high quality standards and reliable production are the key factors. In other words, production will begin without delay, so that the Slotpack will be in the hands of customers already in the summer of 2017.
