Many of us use our cell phones in the car and there are more states enacting distracted driving laws, meaning you can’t just pick up your phone and chat like you used to. Even if your state doesn’t have a hands-free law, is still much safer to have both hands on the wheel instead of messing with your phone. I was recently sent a ClipSee™ Hands-Free Speakerphone for review and have been testing it out for a few weeks.
ClipSee is made by Acoustic Gadgets, which was founded in 2013 by Hugh McLaughlin and a team of highly experienced audio experts who have long track records in sound enhancement technology, which leverages both physical acoustic techniques and sophisticated audio signal processing to create higher quality sound. Acoustic Gadgets’ mission is to make great products that creatively enhance speech and audio clarity for mobile devices.
The uniquely designed ClipSee speakerphone for iPhone® is a new hands-free option for your car. It provides secure and convenient positioning for your iPhone 4 or 5 and it easily and conveniently clips onto your shoulder belt. My phone fit right into the ClipSee, even with a case on my phone. According to the company, the product was developed to work with most iPhone cases, so you don’t have to remove your phone from its case.
Not only does the ClipSee allow you to have your hands free, but it is also designed to amplify the speaker sound by up to 3x and direct it toward your ears, so you are more likely to hear the voice on the other, even with significant road and wind noise. The product clips right onto your seatbelt (you can see in the photos of me in the car with my co-pilot), which places the phone’s microphone just inches from your mouth, assuring your voice is transmitted clearly to the other end. I did several conference calls from my car using it and it really was louder and clearer than when I use my phone’s speakerphone function. When I use the speakerphone without the ClipSee, it can sound muffled and tinny at times. This was definitely much better! The only thing that I found difficult is using the finger guides, which allow you to find the “home buttons” you would need to use while on a call. The mute button and the speakerphone button both have these guides to allow hands-free, voice-activated operation while keeping your eyes on the road. Perhaps it just takes a little practice. The case even has a height adjustment dial on the back to get your phone aligned properly in the ClipSee case.
I wouldn’t say that this product I can’t live without, but I did think it serves as great alternative to my Bluetooth headset and a much better solution that just putting my phone on speaker and resting it on the car seat. Half the time, my phone flies off the seat onto the floor and it can be really hard to hear the person on the other line when they are sliding around on the floor with every turn and stop I make. My husband often refers to my driving as a whirl on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, so if that scenario sounds at all familiar to you, the ClipSee just might be the perfect solution for you!

I love that is is attached to the seat belt and is a great alternative to other bluetooth options. I would love it because I have an older truck and none of the fancy bluetooth options newer vehicles have (actually, I still have a tape player)

The ClipSee fits comfortably on your seat belt shoulder strap and works with all iPhone 4 and 5 models.
This is their first product and while, right now, you can just buy online from them they are looking to branch out to other online retailers and offline stores.

I learned that when the ClipSee is mounted on the shoulder strap, it makes for better sound reception both in the car by amplifying the sound by up to 3x toward the user’s ears and for the person at the other end of the call because the iPhone’s microphone is perfectly placed for optimal speech reception. Genius!
SWEET PRODUCT!!!
I learned this about the product; , when the ClipSee is attached to your shoulder belt, the top microphone of the iPhone® is just inches from your mouth.
I commented on this facebook post; This spaghetti & meatballs looks so good, thanks for sharing the recipe.

I was interested in the dimensions so I checked and learned the ClipSee is designed to fit cases up to 2.57″ wide x 0.56″ thick (65.30 mm × 14.10 mm). I’ll check my case size against this. I also learned it is designed and manufactured in the United States.
