Phone-brella by kt Design Means You Can Now Text in the Rain

Ever needed to text but it’s pouring down with rain? Korean company kt Design has come up with a solution. The Phone-brella sports an ergonomic C-shaped hand grip that slips over a user’s wrist and rests against the users shoulder, freeing up both hands. The bottom end of the handle contains a counter-weight, providing for balance and comfort.  The design concept has received the revered Red Dot Design Award for the innovative idea, and it would make sense that the sister company of a telecommunications mogul would innovate an umbrella to produce a richer mobile experience. Is this a product you could use in the colder months?
