Cellphone Accessories You Can DIY for Cheap

Cellphone Accessories You Can DIY for Cheap.


From cables to speakers to stands that prop up your phone, there are more cool accessories out there than you can shake a stick at—and they all seem grossly overpriced. Don't feel like cashing in an arm and a leg to power up your phone? Here are 10 cellphone accessories that are cheap and easy to make yourself.


Rubber Cases


There are a lot of great cases out there, and not a lot of ways to DIY one at home. But if all you want is a little extra protection for your phone, you can give it a little rubberized back with a product called Plasti Dip. It'll give you a better grip, keep it from attracting fingerprints, and add a little bit of extra protection to the back. If you absolutely have a full case, here's not a lot you can do unless you have a pretty workshop. So you might have to sink a few dollars into it after all.


Touch Screen Gloves


Those of you in the cold white north know how annoying it is that you can't use your phone when you have gloves on—and how annoying it is to take your gloves off when it's 15 below zero outside. If you don't want to go buy a new pair of touch screen-friendly gloves, you can make your own at home with some conductive thread. Alternatively, this 6 Stitch Kit takes all the planning out of your project and will make any gloves touch screen friendly with minimal work.


Mini Charging Cables


We lose these mini cables from Griffin, but it just feels weird paying so much money for a smaller version of something we already have. Instead of buying them, you can just shorten your existing USB cables with a wire stripper and a bit of soldering. You'll save tons of space in your backpack, to mention never deal with tangled cables again.

countries ban use of selfie sticks

Apparently, the popularity of modern selfie sticks exploded in Asia before sweeping the world.


But amid their growing popularity, officials in South Korea last year banned the use of “unregulated” selfie-sticks, according to the Daily Mail.


It’s also to with the use of Bluetooth in the offending sticks, which the authorities decided made them “telecommunications devices” that required testing and registering in case they interfered with other equipment.


While the selfie stick is no doubt a cultural curiosity in itself, several museums around the country have decided they have no place among their artefacts, and have begun to ban them. The move follows a widespread veto in leading museums and galleries across the United States, including New York City's MoMA, the Guggenheim, and the Getty Center.


 


 


But why? If you see the 'Mona Lisa', of course you're going to want a piccie with it (although that's in the Louvre, where you feasibly could, because selfie sticks aren't yet banned there) because that's the age we live in. Who's to say the Mona Lisa herself would have been above a selfie or two? After all, she was vain enough to sit and have a portrait painted.


 


But it's not the vanity that the museums are taking issue with. At a metre and a half long, the sticks are a nearly sure-fire way to an ancient bust completely stacking it - which was the reason given by the Hubei Museum - while other non-selfie-stick-using visitors complained that it was becoming quite difficult to see artworks what with people's faces mooning around in front of them. In this sense, the ban has been welcomed by art lovers the world over.


 


 


The Nanjing Museum was one of the first institutions to begin objecting to visitors using the devices, along with several museums in Wuhan. The Forbidden City in Beijing is another advocate of this ban. The museum will be stopping visitors from using selfie sticks in crowded exhibition halls in fear of the possible damage to its invaluable collection brought by extendable sticks, according to South China Morning Post.


 


No museums in Shanghai have announced a ban as yet, although we're sure it won't be long until they follow suit.
