Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve dropped—and in some cases, fatally damaged—many a cell phone over the years. Eventually, I just accepted that fact that I’m a klutz; scratches and dents add character, right? Well, when it comes to keeping my gadgets off the ground, it turns out there may be hope for me yet.

That’s where the Mobigrip comes in. According to the gizmo’s eponymous manufacturer, the Mobigrip is a “device leash” designed to help butter-fingered geeks keep hold of their portable tech. Intended for use with cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, and the like, it’s essentially a quarter-sized, adhesive-backed disc with an elastic finger loop. The concept is simple: Stick the Mobigrip on the back of any device you’re prone to dropping and save it from future crash-landings by sliding your finger through the loop whenever you pick it up .

The little plastic rounds come in several different colors and are available at mobigrips.com for $10 each. Now you can go get a hold of yourself (and your stuff).
