When you want to access a container’s contents, simply rotate the container 360 degrees. When not in use, all three containers gently snap into a single vertical alignment. Travelstacks can be easily broken down for cleaning or storage purposes.

The travelstacks rubberized base will fit most standard car cup holders. Travelstacks measures 10.25 x 5 x 7.5. Pack ’em, Stack ’em & Go.

Travelstacks is the twenty fourth product designed and developed by the quirky community since quirky’s launch on June 2nd. quirky <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/d> gives everyone the chance to get product ideas out of their heads and onto shelves.  Each week quirky’s community collaborates to select and produce one new product idea. This week ends the development of Travelstacks and it is now available for pre-sale in quirky’s online store <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/h> for $19.00.

You might remember other successful quirky products including the Split Stick <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/k> , a double-sided USB drive, the DigiDude <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/u> , a portable camera tripod and keychain, the Scratch-n-Scroll <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/o> , a mousepad with a writing surface and the PowerCurl <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/b> , a cord wrap for Apple’s MagSafe power adapter.

quirky <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/n> engages participants to collaborate in every aspect of product creation - from ideation, design, naming, manufacturing, marketing, right on through to sales. Anyone can participate on quirky.com <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/p> either by submitting their own product idea for $99, or by voting, rating, and influencing other people’s product <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/x> ideas. Cooler still, 30¢ of every dollar generated from the sale of a quirky product goes back to these influencers.

Every week users post ideas on quirky to be rated by the quirky community. The community surveys the submissions during the 7-day evaluation period and selects one product to move forward to product development. quirky’s community then begins weighing in on everything from naming to logo selection to packaging through to prototype.

The final product becomes available for pre-sale at the quirky online store (quirky.com/products <http://27threats.cmail5.com/t/y/l/olthlr/ujhdlkmd/m> ). Once the product hits its pre-sale threshold, credit cards are charged, and the product goes into production and delivery.  At this point, 30¢ of every dollar made from the sale of these products goes back to the community.  “Community” in this case covers both the ideator as well as all people who voted, commented, and rated the project idea along the way.
