A flexible umbrella accessory, about 4 inches long with an extensible
section which plugs into the 3.5 mm jack in a smartphone or tablet to
do what umbrellas do while you use the phone without fear of it
getting wet.
Waterproof Smartphones

Wouldn't one of these be much easier? [Canuck, Sep 27 2013]

You could make a prototype with a cocktail umbrella, some waterproofing spray or wax, and discarded airline headphones. |
|
| |
I might try to Bake this... another good use would be as a Jackasol,
for keeping sunlight off the screen and thereby eliminating glare. |
|
| |
You people really do walk around all day with your eyes
glued to your smartphones, don't you?! I was beginning to
think that was a TV-ad stereotype, but now... |
|
| |
Well actually, I was thinking along the lines of waiting at a bus stop
or taxi stand... but it would be a nice accompaniment to that app that
uses the camera to show you where you're going while texting, now
that you mention it. |

I thought this was going to be an umbrella canopy for the
end of a standing erection to protect against the rainfall of
ejaculate.
|
|
| |
You could have it project out the top of the device and use
the business part of the umbrella as a screen/advertising
space. |
|
| |
I thought it might be for changing a tire... this is good too. |
|
| |
I thought it might be jackalope related. |
|
| |
I thought it was the men's version of the Jillbrella. |
|
| |
I like Jackasol best. Way to go + |

Canuck, I thought of the waterproof phones but there are several
drawbacks to that: first, your choice of smartphone is limited. My
Jackbrella works with any device that has a 3.5mm jack. A larger
variant could even be designed, therefor, for laptops. Second, using a
smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen when wet is very difficult
and frustrating because it misreads your touches a lot. It might not
damage the phone, but it's not a pleasant experience. Third,
waterproof phones still aren't glareproof phones. Note the double
duty my proposed device can do. |
