Safe Texting: Use A Condom For Your Mobile Phone
At first I thought it was a joke. But I guess it is not.
There is indeed a mobile phone condom and just like the usual condom, this one also protects your phone, well, not from getting pregnant, but from other stuff. Roger van Camp, 29, is the person behind this and he calls it ‘Skins’.
See, van Camp is a hands-on guy and he just likes to putter around with the usual chores. He does his own fence paintjob, takes care of his own garden, and works up his own vehicle. And when he does such, he gets really dirty hands. So he uses Skins so he can answer a call or send a text message while protecting his phone at the same time.
There is a Skins website and it claims, “With Skins, you can now protect your mobile and its information against damage from water, dirt, mud, paint, moisture and much, much more and stop you becoming one of those statistics!�
Good idea, if I may say so.

This is a great idea … definitely handy for days when you will be working outside, etc.
