\u00a0Perhaps you used your camera or even video camera to see if there&#8217;s something in your teeth or if your lipstick is applied correctly. \u00a0I know I&#8217;m guilty. \u00a0And every time I do it I&#8217;m disappointed. \u00a0The camera is just not strong enough to get a good view. \u00a0A friend of mine struggled with this dilemma years ago and thought if she could come up with a way to make a mirror app, she&#8217;d be rich! \u00a0I agreed with her, but still couldn&#8217;t see how the camera would be strong enough in the app to do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Flash forward 3 years. \u00a0In my research of various products, I came across a company called Simply Solved, by Marcy McKenna. \u00a0McKenna is a busy mother of three whose passion is in solving everyday problems. \u00a0One of her latest inventions is the Diamond Shield. \u00a0No, it&#8217;s not an app, but a mobile screen protector that also doubles as a mirror. \u00a0This thin layer of protection is super strong. \u00a0In fact, McKenna&#8217;s company even claims that the screen protector is strong enough to withstand an electric drill! \u00a0Now that&#8217;s something I&#8217;d like to see, but I opted not to try it on my Galaxy S4!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scratch proof<\/li>\n<li>Shatter, crack, and ding resistant<\/li>\n<li>Easy to put on your phone<\/li>\n<li>Easy to take off your phone with no residue<\/li>\n<li>Comes with a lifetime warranty if it gets damaged, they&#8217;ll replace it<\/li>\n<li>Includes a squeegee card and wipe cloth for installation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The mirror works great!<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s very handy &#8211; no need to search for a mirror any longer<\/li>\n<li>Provides added protection for your phone&#8217;s screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The price point is a bit high<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve noticed the screen collects more dust than other screens I&#8217;ve had<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase the Diamond Shield at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qvc.com\/CatalogSearch?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10251&amp;catalogId=10151&amp;keyword=marcy+mckenna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">QVC <\/a>for the iPhone 4\/5 and Samsung Galaxy SIII\/S4 for $19.99 plus $4.47 for shipping and handling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-11482\" alt=\"use your phone as a mirror\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2013\/11\/Diamond-Shield-Use-Your-Phone-as-a-Mirror-6.jpg?resize=614%2C461&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2013\/11\/Diamond-Shield-Use-Your-Phone-as-a-Mirror-6.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2013\/11\/Diamond-Shield-Use-Your-Phone-as-a-Mirror-6.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2013\/11\/Diamond-Shield-Use-Your-Phone-as-a-Mirror-6.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">A Mom&#8217;s Perspective<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I LOVE having a mirror as a part of my phone. \u00a0The Diamond Shield is so handy and works beautifully. \u00a0My reflection is very clear&#8230;perhaps too clear at times! \u00a0Alright, I don&#8217;t look as beautiful as the first picture in this post, my selfie looks a little dorky&#8230;though I prefer geeky. \u00a0Nonetheless, I wanted to show you how clear the screen looks. \u00a0The Diamond Shield is a good unique gift to remember for Christmas. \u00a0It&#8217;s different, yet essential once you have one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Besides checking your make-up and lost food particles in your mouth, how else might you use your phone as a mirror?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Diamond Shield protects your screen and allows you to use your phone as a mirror at the same time.
