Made in the shade

November 15, 2005 category: Technojoy

It is no small wonder that since the arrival of the new baby, we've spent the GNP of a miniscule country on appropriate accessories. The original package came with a handydandy plastic snap-on LCD monitor protector...which if you do not already have, walk NAY, RUN out and get one rightnow. But being the gadget geeks that we so vividly are, we saw this pretty and a spindly thread of drool escaped our trembling lips:

This lovely not only protects your delicate LCD screen from those unseemly face-prints, but also functions as a sunshade so you don't have to do the "lookit what I just shot, honeee...you know, despite the arc-welder-esque glare out here" dance with your long-suffering spousal unit.

They have a SNAP-ON version, as well, but being the point-and-shoot kind of shoppers that we are, we discovered this a wee smidge too late, so we'll give Señor Sticky a swing and see how he plays. If plunking down the scratch to buy this rhino in the first place didn't break us, twenty smackers to test out this baby shouldn't cause the rationing of the morning gruel to commence. We hope, anyway.
