Nose Stylus Lets You Text in the Bathtub

05.05.2011
If you're anything like me, you've probably destroyed at least one phone while texting in the bath (I'm serious--it was an expensive Blackberry too!). But no longer will you have to risk destroying your phones when texting in the bath, because the is here!

Wait, what?

The finger-nose stylus is a nose-extension made from plaster with a storebought handheld stylus embedded inside. The nose also has two elastic bands which hold it on your face. As an added bonus, it makes you look like Pinocchio.

With the nose's capacitive tip, you can use it as an extra finger for texting or scrolling through a webpage. It can be used anywhere from the bath to on the road (not recommended). Who knows, the device could also be used for handicapped persons that might need an extra "limb."

The designer of the weird new gadget, Dominic Wilcox, originally came up with the design when he found that it was hard to use his touchphone in the bath without getting it wet. He tried using his nose but he couldn't see where he was touching and it wasn't very precise, so he came up with this method of using an extended and slender nose so that he could precisely navigate with the nose while holding the phone with one dry hand.

After creating the device Wicox tried to send a tweet from his bath and instead of sending "Hello I am tweeting with my nose" his phone autocorrected and sent it as, "." Wilcox says he lost two followers.
