Quirky’s newest product is pretty aptly named. It’s a wallet-sized card made of capacitive material which makes it interact with any touch-screen perfectly with any touch screen device. Why is this important? We’re tired of burrito fingering everything on our iPhones, Androids, iPads and car navigation systems. We love the idea of a stylus, but it never seems to work out quite the way we had imagined. Either it’s a Palm-era stick which makes it more suited to being a toothpick and discarded/lost as easily, or it’s so fat and bulky it’s like playing XBOX with a grizzly bear controller. Either way, it’s something that has to be carried on your person at all times and that’s just a huge pain in the ass. With the Quirky Cipher you just throw it in your wallet, and it’s with you whenever. It’s also worth mentioning that this will prevent smudges. Everyone hates smudges.
