2026-07-14 - Luckies Smartphone Projector

 

The Luckies Smartphone Projector, launched around 2014 by Luckies of London, is a novelty retro-style, lo-fi projector made from cardboard and glass. Designed to resemble a vintage movie camera or leather case, it magnifies your smartphone's screen up to 8x to project photos and videos onto a blank wall. It requires no electricity or cords because it relies entirely on the native brightness of your phone.

Key Features:

  • Construction: Made of high-quality, corrugated cardboard with a soft matte laminate and leather-print detailing.
  • Magnification: High-quality glass lens offering 8x magnification.
  • Compatibility: Fits smartphones up to a maximum size of 8.0 cm × 16.0 cm (approx. 3.2" × 6.2").
  • Setup: Requires no glue or building; it comes pre-assembled straight out of the box.
