Don't Laugh: People Could Buy This

The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well with the introduction of this contraction for your iPhone. Designer Robert Potter has created the Earos Earcushion device. It provides a comfortable separation between your ear and your phone. According to Yanko Design:

Earos provides a convenient padding to your ear when you use it with your mobile phone. It fastens to any phone and even doubles up as display stand, when used in reverse position. A convenient fastener hooks it up to most phone models. It rotates on two axes, so that the ear pad can be repositioned in a jiffy, allowing access to the display. Its looks to be a comfortable addition to the phone, especially if you are the sorts to talk on it for long. Ears really tend to heat up fast, and Earos can be a good barrier!

This thing is certainly not something I’d purchase, but others may. They might make nice stocking stuffers!
