Trying to do anything while holding an umbrella to stay dry is downright impossible, but it doesn’t have to be thanks to Korean company kt Design and the Phone-brella. The name is terrible, but the premise is sound. Replace the standard handle on an umbrella with a large, comfortable C style hook that you can slide up your forearm to hold the umbrella in place. Now that you’re adequately protected from the deluge above, you’re free to text, check the public transportation times or respond to that last e-mail from your boss before calling it quits for the day. When it eventually makes its way to the USA it will be available in two shades of gray, two shades of red and black.
