A great idea, in principle, but £5 for 5 stickers? It'd cost me 10p to print 10 stickers with '[email protected]' on... which I might well do, now I'm thinking about it.


Glad we've inspired you :)

Loseproof is really geared toward people who want an out of the box solution – easy to signup, easy to protect your stuff & more secure (it's anonymous).

We'd also love to know where you can get stickers printed at that price... we might need to change supplier!


Sure, I get that. Have you thought about approaching businesses? My organisation has about circa 100 BlackBerry devices in circulation, none of which have any kind of 'if lost' marker on them...


The upside seems to be anonymity, whereas with your idea you could possibly be identified by your own domain. I guess you could easily anonymity with something like "[email protected]", though.


How else would you get your stuff back? Someone seeing [email protected] might think "oh, this is josh's laptop, not [email protected], better email/call".


You're not paying for 5 stickers..

What have I missed?


You're paying for the service, not the stickers. The stickers are a portion of the price, the rest goes towards to the rest of the service.
