The sun has always been the biggest enemy of mobile phone user, and anyone who has tried watching anything on a TFT screen under direct sunlight would know, the glare will not let you do anything.
There are, of course, plenty of solutions and remedies for this. People have long since resorted to using umbrellas (can get uncomfortable after a while with having an umbrella in one hand or tucked under the chin, and a phone in the other), others have taken to the shelter under trees or roofs, and others simply opted not to use their handset when in direct sunlight.
But what about people who are dining al fresco? Or attending a live game on an open stadium? Or simply enjoying the morning sun during a pre-breakfast walk? The glare is an issue that everyone has to deal with, and Orange Mobile UK has decided that it is time they did something about it.
A quick visit to the Orange UK website will show you, victim of sun glare, how to counter-act this menace. The site is offering everyone (yes, everyone, not just Orange Mobile subscribers) a free downloadable PDF file which will teach you how to make you own sun visor. In fact, you can print out the PDF and cut it out to mount on your mobile phone!
Kidding aside,, it is easy to strap a piece of cardboard on a mobile phone, but it actually takes careful planning to make a visor that blocks the sun out while still making it comfortable to look at the screen. And of course, the visor color is black so it really blocks out the glare. With the football season already starting, this visor add-on will certainly be a very useful tool for anyone who is caught out in the glare of the sun.
