This smartphone accessory could be hitting the beaches this summer, but what's the point?

It can sometimes be difficult to enjoy your smartphone when summer arrives and the rays of the sun are pointing the tip of their nose. A new accessory, however, is starting to be talked about on social networks.

Smartphones have become so essential to our daily lives that it would now be totally incongruous to leave them at home during the holidays. Even during these periods of rest, we would not want to miss the latest news of the moment or the gossip of our entourage! It also allows you to enjoy small games by the beach or take pictures of the best moments of the holidays to keep unforgettable memories.

But using a smartphone by the beach is generally not highly recommended. In addition to the possibility of dropping your device in water (we also recommend a protective pouch to avoid this), it is bad to enjoy a screen with the sun directly in your eyes. Fortunately, a very practical accessory seems to have been unanimous on social networks for a few weeks.

This tool, available in particular on Etsy for less than 20 euros, attaches directly to the back of your smartphone thanks to a small gripping button. The latter will allow you to better hold your phone on a daily basis. It should also attract the attention of the curious, intrigued by this astonishing semi-circle between a fan and a Frisbee.

The main purpose of this device is obviously elsewhere: it is to deploy a mini screen above your smartphone to block the sun, make the screen more readable and cover your eyes. Note that this accessory can be used with your phone both vertically and horizontally. Enough to protect your retinas even when you watch a video on YouTube or Netflix.
