We provide the mobile device solutions necessary
for education, enterprise and consumers to protect, sustain and enhance mobile needs
Current Landscape
- Highly Fragmented (some would say “crowded”) space; very few organizations with any scale
- Limited, repair centric positioning providing mostly cosmetic repairs; typically some form of medically affiliated branding (i.e., iHospital, CPR, CellDoctor, Digital Doc, etc.)
- Predominately small, local operators – present in most markets, but typically established with low-cost presence
Staymobile Differentiators

a. Consumer Lifestyle & Business Services Company: unique, comprehensive service offering for both consumers and businesses poised to serve the broader market
