Shields the screen from bright light

Phone Awning folds in and out like a pram hood and shades your mobile phone screen from bright sun light.

clumsy for storage, but cute idea.

Couldn't you just arrange the flip-up lid pf a flip phone to do this, rather than add a fold-out awning?

But the real solution is to use a screen that sunlight doesn't render unreadable. There are a bunch on the market (the new cheap laptop for the African market uses them).

I'm not a fan of the flip-tops, though I know they are more popular in the USA. This also screens prying eyes from your dubious text messages. I really like the idea of a high-tech phone having a 1950's pram hood, complete with chrome fittings etc. I would seriously like this fitted to my own mobile.
