I’ve never been keen on screen protectors. And that hasn’t got anything to do with me having a slightly cavalier attitude towards protecting my iPhone’s display. I can’t stand applying them (they virtually always get at least one irremovable bubble, or tiny bits of dust/fluff beneath them), and I don’t like the way they make my display feel all plasticcy….

I have to say I’m skeptical of a product that is not only inadequately described on its own page, but clearly can’t be removed, but hey. Maybe it works! This Nu-Screen stuff appears to be a coating you put on your mobile’s screen (or anything else, I suppose) that protects against scratches and helps dirt and oil wash off. But wait! There’s more!
It also creates “a richer, more intense screen display.” If there’s anything that raises a red flag, it’s that. The coating on the display isn’t going to make anything more intense. It’s like saying “turn the lights down, it makes things brighter!” I’m also afraid it won’t be easy to apply correctly, since it is essentially a Glu-stick.
Well, if you’re curious, you can order it here. Comes with a free “Laser Etched” microfiber cloth.

Anytime you read a headline that involves a product from Taser you probably get all excited that someone, somewhere is getting shocked. I know I definitely was, but it turns out their in-car Protector System is a lot less exciting than I’d hoped. It’s designed to prevent drivers from being distracted by their smartphones by locking down all but the simplest of functions while a vehicle is running. And it’s facilitated by a special app that’s unfortunately only available on the Blackberry and Android platforms at the moment since it relies on Bluetooth which is one of the iPhone’s weaknesses when it comes to third-party apps.
The app communicates over Bluetooth with a small dongle that attaches to your vehicle’s diagnostic port, and completely locks down the phone except for said app which provides basic functionality including voice dialing and of course 911 access. By itself it’s not a bad idea if you just can’t seem to tear your eyes away from your phone’s screen while behind the wheel, but it actually does a bit more. The dongle includes GPS and cellular functionality, complete with its own SIM card, and will keep track of a vehicle’s location as well as reporting back unsafe driving behavior (for monitoring teens) and even accidents. The downside though is that the kit runs $249.95 plus a recurring fee starting at $14.95/month if you don’t want to sign a contract. AND it can’t be used to shock anyone…
