The reason we chose cardboard was because that is all that is needed to achieve the desired functionality. It also results in the lowest possible cost for our customers. Scanner Bin is a small family business, created in Boise, ID - USA, by Jasper - an engineer who wanted to solve a few problems that he faced when scanning with his smartphone. Our approach is to offer the maximum utility at the lowest possible cost. We want this simple accessory to be readily available to anyone who may benefit from it. Scanner Bin has become a passion project for us as we have developed new use cases. It can aid those who are visually impaired to read documents out loud. It can also help those with essential tremor and other movement disorders to take advantage of the convenience of scanning with their smartphones.
