Thumb Free Umbrella for Texting
Thursday, 15 August 2013 | by Pat's Picks
Great idea - or too silly to use? The New York Times has a feature on “The Brolly.” It’s an umbrella with a handle that allows for a four-finger grip, leaving your thumb free. This way, you can send out a text or check your email without getting wet or trying to hold the umbrella awkwardly under your chin for a minute. Gregory Schmidt says that while the handle design is great, the rest of the umbrella seems a bit too flimsy.
I found the Brolly available for purchase online at the HSN website.
