Chris Johnson is one of those early adopters who will wait in line for hours for a new tech gadget. His web store, BiteMyApple, is geared toward other early adopters by making Kickstarter funded tech gadgets easily available.
Name/Title: Chris Johnson, Founder of BiteMyApple.co
Launch Date: 2011
Inspiration for opening: I stood in line for three hours when Apple launched the first generation iPhone. At that moment, I knew that Apple had something special, and I wanted to be a part its success. So, I decided to start a business that sells iPhone accessories where I could share my favorite products with consumers.
Merchandise source: Almost everything comes direct
Best selling item: Right now it's the MOS "Magnetic Organization System". It's one of those "Why didn't I think of this?" products for your desktop. Who likes cables falling of your desk? This is so simple it's genius.
Your favorite item: I would say the Snooze because I use it every day- and the Olloclip because it helps me take a better picture.
Your favorite store (other than your own): I'm not your typical geek but if I'm anywhere near a Best Buy I have to make that stop.

She doesn't look too comfortable in that boomerang pic. She is practicing bad posture. I wouldn't say that is such a great idea.
They do have other cool things, though.
Doesn't it look like the group is painted over in the photo? Is that something people do? Maybe just the exact color of the tile?
They have some awesome products - I've just bought a koala for the kitchen, and a MOS for my bedside table - finally I'll be able to keep my multi charger out sight but still be able to grab the cables when I need them - I can't believe no one thought of that before. I'd buy a snooze if I needed a bedside clock too. Such great ideas.
