Introuduction

I made this product for airport users, (like my mom) because one of the biggest problems she had was that the AirPods always fell out when she was in her dance class. but were not comfortable enough that is why I developed this product with all of these characteristics. first, they had to be comfortable, second, they had to not fall out and be used for different purposes. and third, they had to look nice and discreet.

I first started doing the whole planning process and then moved on to building my first model my first model was going to consist of also of thing some being a ring that grabs on to the outer part of you're ear so the airpods don't fall out but when I finished it wasn't comfortable so I decided to make a small rubber design that fits perfectly in any type of ear that is comfortable and doesn't fall out.
