Curve allows users to stay connected to the people and things they love, sending them alerts and updates straight to their mobile from a distance. With the average person losing four items a month (mainly keys), Curve is invaluable for those who want to feel assured that they can keep track of regularly misplaced or valuable items – from laptop bags to cars, keys and backpacks.
