Some iPhone accessories are instant must-have items, while others like the $30 Carabiner Clip, is nothing more than dumb hipster fashion. When did shoving your iPhone into a front pocket go out of style?
Dangling my $600 iPhone 4 from a backpack or camera strap would make answering calls nearly impossible, yet this leather strapped geek leash from Photojojo is totally out of stock. I'm expecting to see this bit of classic Hipster wear spoofed on the new season of Portlandia.
The deal breaker for me is the idea of screwing down the Carabiner Clip onto my iPhone. If that's not enough of a buzz killer, then I have to hunt down my original screws and custom screwdriver when I ultimately realize I pissed away thirty bucks on a useless impulse buy that will end up in the same drawer as my Shake Weight.
Can anybody tell me a good reason to use the Carabiner Clip? Anybody? Until then, I'm going to file this one under trying way too hard to be ultra-cool.
