The best hacks don’t necessarily make a gadget any easier to use, or more discrete: they just make them cooler. That’s why this DIY glove phone is so awesome; it takes a Samsung A300 and a leather glove, and crafts a bizarre contraption that you dial by tapping buttons on the fingers, and use by holding your little finger to your mouth and your thumb to your ear.
It’s not entirely ridiculous: as well as making Inspector Gadget-style calls, you can also compose SMS text messages with one hand. Best of all there’s an Instructable telling you how to make your own.
In version 2, there’s going to be slightly less wire-explosion on the top, with a box to hold the main board, and a vibrate feature to keep everything nice and discrete. There’ll also be a more Steampunk theme going on, with copper and rivets, some artwork and perhaps a watch that does the vibro-alert. We just hope the precarious LCD display stays sticking up.
