New twist on cell phone incident meter
Feb 25 13 07:51 pm Link Why do they need donations? Sounds like the scam from Nigeria. Feb 25 13 08:55 pm Link That's how Kickstarter works. Instead of getting money from investors / VCs or banks, they raise funds via "crowd sourcing". Usually it's a win-win situation: cheaper cost of borrowing for the entrepreneur and the backers often get innovative products for less too.

All you really need is a piece of diffuse plastic to cover your camera. Great DIY project. Probably a plastic bubble from a broken light meter would have you covered. $24.95 is unfortunately rather expensive for a product which is nothing more than a piece of plastic which has all its funding covered by outside sources the business doesn't need to pay back.
