How about a 100-foot-long phone-charging cable?

These products seem almost too good to be true.

They are all one-off inventions created by this guy, Matt Benedetto.

I came up with this one while I was laying in bed, watching Netflix.

And, you know, I was holding my phone above my head, slipped right out of my hand and just smacked me in the face..

Matt, who is an actual product designer, decided to use his expertise to create over-the-top products that solve problems we didn't know we had.

It would attach to your ceiling, and then this is a suction cup that attaches to your phone.

You might have seen this next one before.

but everything starts as sketches and 3D prints.

Matt: I really try and set up my photo shoot

Narrator: His products have garnered a large audience.

Matt: Some of my inventions do take a little bit of

photo and video magic to kind of make them look like

they might work a little better than they do.

I created the DroneBrella when I had a friend

that was complaining about trying to carry groceries,

talk on the phone, lock their car, and do

all these things at once while it was pouring rain out.

It is the perfect accessory for anyone that chews

if you want to continue chewing with your mouth open.

I had thousands of comments of people saying, like,

"Oh, I have an uncle at Thanksgiving that needs this."

Everyone seemed to have somebody in their life

And the TP Pleaser is a toilet-paper roller

for both people who like their toilet paper to roll under

and people who like their toilet paper to roll over.

is that he wants people to have fun seeing the products

he makes among the other ads we're bombarded by.
