    How did Shapeheart's journey start?

    Shapeheart is the story of two entrepreneurs who could no longer stand doing sports with poorly designed and uncomfortable armbands. Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, they were able to fund their project of an armband with a detachable magnetic sleeve and an integrated heart rate sensor, testing their idea directly with consumers.

      What started everything

      Shapeheart was launched thanks to the 2016 FNAC Startup Award for the heart rate armband. But the real feature that customers loved was the detachable magnetic sleeve.

      Simpler and more practical than many systems on the market, we decided to adapt this world-unique concept to a whole range of phone accessories for sports and mobility, and we developed the following products:

      2017 - Armband

      2018 - Sports belt

      2019 - Bicycle mount

      2020 - Motorcycle and mirror mount (classic)

      2021 - Sportbike mount, mirror (screwed), scooter dashboard mount

        Shapeheart in a nutshell is....

        Shapeheart offers simple products with a value-for-money ratio that is hard to beat for sports and mobility. It is the brand that invented and currently sells the only phone accessories with a detachable magnetic sleeve, a concept patented in 2017.
