TV Hat

Does it work?  Fail.


This product falls into the ‘I-can’t-believe-this-is-a-real-product’ category.  It’s a baseball cap type device with an extra long bill, and a pocket at the end for the phone.  The pocket has a plastic cover and a x2.5 magnifying viewer to look through.  


First the good: It is ambitious – and I Iove the name, “TV Hat”. 
Simple and good for a short URL.


The bad
It reminds of the weird and wonderful Japanese inventions/contraptions; such as, the tiny umbrella to protect your cigarette in the rain, or glue-type stick made with butter for spreading on toast.  


As you can guess, it fails on many levels.  

• The pocket doesn't fit many popular phones.
• The plastic cover on the pocket doesn't lay flat and therefore distorts the video picture.  That’s in addition to the magnifying screen which obfuscates the video also.  
• It makes my eyes hurt just thinking about it.
• It’s slightly creepy, eccentric looking.  (I’m thinking it may be best for a creative Halloween costume)
• How often do you need to watch video on a phone, and there’s a glare, and you happen to have the TV Hat, and you don’t mind looking odd?
