We’ve seen some protective packs for handheld devices recently, and now comes another one that is downright “clever.” Four years ago, stay-at-home mom Karen McElaney, along with Colleen Gallagher, convinced the idea of using a protective and disposable poly plastic sleeve to protect devices from water, sand and other corrosive materials. Better still, the RingerWraps from CleverWraps allow the devices to remain completely functional.
Users can still type away on the keyboard, make calls, and even snap away photos. The RingerWraps feature a zip closure for protection and a re-sealable tape for a custom fit. They even come in three sizes: small for the iPhone, BlackBerry and HTC Incredible handsets; medium for Motorola Razr and various flip phones; and large for handsets and devices such as the Motorola Droid and LG enV.
We also like the fact that the wraps are disposable, because while we admit that it means another plastic bag in a landfill, it is a lot better than seeing a phone ruined if it should get wet or full of sand. A little sleeve of plastic is a small price to pay to protect a handset or other small device safe from grease, grim, sand and snow.
