It is, as always, a fine line twixt clever and stupid. Quite which side of that line the Mobigrip lies is still to be determined.

Basically, a sticky pad with a loop of cord you stick your finger through, the Mobigrip is designed to stop you dropping your precious phone when you are using it one-handed.

It is a bit like those wrist straps that are meant to stop you hurling your Wii controller though your flatscreen, but smaller. And possibly less useful.

Still, if dropping your phone is a problem for you – and particularly if you turned down that generous device insurance offer when you bought the thing, perhaps Mobigrip is for you.
