If you’re using an iPhone 6 Plus, a Samsung Galaxy Note, or any other phone with a larger screen, you would know how difficult it is to use the device with one hand.
The screens on those things are so big that we always have to use both our hands; one to hold the phone and the other to swipe across the screen. This may not be a problem for most people, but it can be troubling for some people, especially for people with disabilities.
Meet The TUSK (Telephone Utility Support Kit), which aims to solve that problem once and for all. TUSK is basically a phone dock that can be mounted on your wrist. It takes away the need to hold the smartphone while you SnapChat with your buddies or even holding the flashlight over while you work.
No more butter fingers, no more shattered screens.
TUSK was developed by a mechanic named Derek Rieger from Texas. After going through an accident and a surgery he was forced to find a way to use his phone with one hand. And that’s how he’s come up with the idea for TUSK.
Derek is currently seeking $133K on Kickstarter to fund his project and to bring TUSK into production. Go help him out. As he says in his Kickstarter video, this gadget could be highly beneficial for a lot of people.
