Mobigrip Just Might Save Your Cell Phone From an Untimely Death

by Caleb Johnson on June 29, 2009 at 07:30 AM

We are the world's worst about dropping our cell phones. Whether it's into a toilet or off a balcony, sometimes it seems like our phones leap out of our hands. This problem has cost us both money and grief from our friends. Short of applying super glue to our hands, though, we have not been able to find a solution.

Then we came across the Mobigrip ($9.95). This nifty phone accessory functions as a lanyard for those of us with butter fingers, and it's simple to use, too. Stick the Mobigrip to the back of a phone, or any other handheld device, and place the elastic cord around your finger. If the device slips (or leaps from our fingers as ours do), the cord will tighten and save your phone, iPod, or voice recorder from certain death.

The product's design reminds us of those gag-gift hand buzzers we used to play with as kids. Mobigrips are round, fairly thin, and come in different colors for the fashion conscious among us. Sure, you might look pretty dorky with one of these, but it sure beats paying for a new iPhone or BlackBerry. [From: Mobigrips.com, via Geeksugar]
