iPhone Finger Condoms - Remember to Practice Safe Texts

November 8, 2007 Gadgets & Gismos, Tech

Hold the phone (no pun intended)… you mean my iPhone isn’t self-cleaning after all? Gasp. I could’ve sworn I heard that somewhere. Or maybe it was self-healing… yes, regeneration, that was it. Silly me.

Of course. Why wouldn’t you put two black rubber sleeves on your fingers before touching your phone? I am so relieved that someone finally thought of a solution to prevent scandalous and promiscuous finger prints from touching the blessed iPhone screen in all of its innocence.

My question is, do people just always have these on? Or do they whip them on as the phone is ringing… Because that would be just so convenient to have rubber fingers on all the time. In fact, maybe we can learn to limit all finger contact to the pointer finger and thumb. Imagine–driving, sipping a cup of tea, petting your dog–these rubbers really have the potential to change the world.

Although, maybe they should make skin-colored rubber fingers… or maybe they should invent a surgery where you can rubbertize the skin on your thumb and pointer finger so that you don’t leave a smudge on anything!

Discuss amongst yourselves…
