How to Get a Handle on Your iPhone

By Shellie Driscoll

I had a chance to check out a new product designed for your iPhone, iPod Touch and select Android phones. It’s called the PodFlex Pro.

It is basically made with a flexible metal that has a protective covering around it. There is a pocket on the front where you place your device and it has a see-through area so you can watch your screen. There are also openings in the pocket so you can plug your headphones into your phone or iPod as well as an opening for your dock connector cable.
I used my new Verizon iPhone 4 to test out this product and found that putting my iPhone into the pocket was easy but getting it out was a little difficult. I was surprised at how well my touch screen responded even though I was using it through the see-through pocket area. I also noticed that once your iPhone is inside the pocket you cannot adjust the volume.

The whole idea of the Pod Flex Pro is to make it easy for you to watch your device hands-free……….

Here I am using it at the gym. I just folded it over the edge securely so I could watch my iPhone while I worked out on the treadmill.

You can also use it in the car to entertain the kids. Just put it on the back of the headrest for them to watch while you drive.

Or they can easily hold it in their lap if they want to play a game on your iPhone and you don’t have to worry about them dropping it on the floor.

Another great way to use your Pod Flex Pro is in the kitchen!  Just find your recipe on your iPhone and then bend the Pod Flex Pro to the perfect position for you to read your recipe while you are cooking.

The PodFlex Pro is pretty easy to use and it’s very lightweight. If you are tired of trying to hold onto your phone while you watch it I would suggest you try the PodFlex Pro.  As their advertisements say, “set it. flex it and then go for it!”

The PodFlex Pro sells for $24.95 plus $7.95 shipping and handling online through their website.  It is a bit pricey but it does offer great convenience if you’re looking for a flexible way to hold your iPhone or iPod Touch in just the right way.  To ensure your cellphone will work with the PodFlex Pro, see their complete list of compatible phones.
