Thiphone – World’s most useless iPhone accessory?

Posted By Mr.Gadget  Published in Funny Gadgets, iPhone

I have to admit, I initially thought that this iPhone Thigh Band would be useful in meeting and vehicle environments however just the thought of accidentally leaving this on, quickly brought me back to reality.

Besides, who would pay $30 for one of these “ThiPhones” when you could just use an iPhone Sports Arm Band Case and tie it to your leg!?

What are your thoughts? Would you wear this?

It is almost like someone took the armband for Audio players and decided to make it for the iphone on the leg instead. It is too bad that it would only be usable when sitting down.

Don’t forget it has the added feature of a suction cap :)

Agree it’s probably the worst phone accessory i’ve seen.
If you’re a business person wearing a nicely pressed suit are you going to put this on?

Utterly, utterly useless! I can’t actually think of a single use for this, except maybe if you were a jockey.

I’m sure people will find a way to use it though; the guys who designed it would have had some ideas and saw a small need for it.

Might be useful during lectures. :P

Its like a leg holster for a gun but for your iphone instead!

Why don’t people just use their hands? I’d rather save the $30 and invest it elsewhere! I thought we where in a recession? What other useless iPhone accessories will they come up with next I wonder?

Hahaha – the screen would be too far away using this gadget! I initially thought it might be a help on long haul flights but I just think its be too far away…!

Possible application for cruiser (motorcycle) riders using google maps .. however .. wouldn’t trust the phone to stay long at hig speed!

You people have missed the point entirely. The Thiphone is much more practical than you are making it out to be. I have had one for a little over a month and it is very useful while driving. Don’t follow the followers who copied this post from Wired.
