If you’ve ever wanted to hang your iPhone from your wrist or neck then you, Sir or Madam, have not thought things through. Neither have the people who created the Danglet.
The $US15 Danglet attaches to your iPod or iPhone’s dock connector and lets you hold it like a wrist strap. Which is fine if you’re just using it as a safeguard (like a Wiimote strap) in case you accidentally drop your iPhone. It’s NOT fine if you’re flinging it around like the people in the video below.

It’s my choice to weigh the risks, just like it’s yours to decide whether to eat raw oysters, or invest in the next “hot stock tip”, or to pick your nose with Vise-Grips. What may be a “horrible idea” to you, might be just what the doctor ordered for somebody else. Besides, if you’re part of this website, isn’t it your job to determine whether a product performs as advertised? If you haven’t tested one yet, then who gave you the trump card to assert that your opinion is gospel? I bet you’ve waited in long lines to buy something a whole lot stupider than this thing.
