Hasta La Gadget!

If you own a smartphone, one of the last places you’re going to want to put your device into is a toaster. We can’t deny that it sounds like a completely crazy time to toast the hell out of your smartphone, but considering how much damage it’ll receive in the process, we can see why most people would restrain themselves.

Gadgets can be pretty fragile and they do break occasionally, especially if one is particularly butter-fingered, but what do we do with our broken gadgets? Do we throw them away? Replace them? Fix it? Well iPhone repair company, Twice Used, is used to coming across broken components during their business and instead of simply throwing away things like broken screens and whatnot, they have decided to do the green thing which is to reuse those broken components by finding a new use for them and giving them a new lease on life.

The image above is one of the many projects that Twice Used has done and as you can see, it involves the screens of the iPhone, which when combined have transformed those components into a rather stylish looking clock. Apart from clocks, they have come up with coffee table ideas, picture frames, and etc. which are all pretty clever. The downside is that there aren’t that many screens to go around which is why the company has launched a Kickstarter campaign in which they are seeking partnerships with other repair companies to take their broken components off their hands. If you’d like to learn more or perhaps pledge your donation, hit up their Kickstarter page for the details!
