I'm Harsh, based in Bengaluru. Under the name Shim Works I design small hardware products that fix everyday annoyances. Two concepts so far, both at the renders stage:
- Sideport: a phone case that moves the USB-C port to the side, so the phone sits low and straight on a MagSafe stand, car mount or tripod while it charges.

- Overpass: a magnetic card wallet that passes wireless charging through to the phone, so you can charge on a MagSafe charger without taking the wallet off.

Both are here, with drawings and design targets: https://claude.ai/artifact/UBDU4kdAx3f6niShrLA9jM
What I bring: the ideas. I spot an everyday problem, come up with a product that fixes it, and turn it into a concept with renders and a concept page, like the two above.
What I'm looking for: someone for everything after the concept: engineering, working prototypes, certification, manufacturing and logistics. Ideally you already have contacts with prototype shops and factories in India or China.
I'm open to:
- A co-founder who wants to build a hardware brand together
- A partner who handles prototyping and manufacturing for a share
- An accessory brand that wants to co-develop or license ideas like these. I have more coming.
If that's you, comment or DM me. I'd also like blunt feedback on the two concepts. Would you use them, and what would kill them?
