Maxim 43: If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you're lucky.

That said, IMO this idea isn't stupid so much as unorthodox and maybe a little visually strange.

I too appreciate the maxims, this made me smile. I'm just sad I missed the chance to get a signed physical copy. But I believe 14 could cover this application but only if the phone is a Nokia flip phone.

And stop Down voting the maxims people or I will have to apply Maxim 11: Everything is air droppable, once.

If it works it's not stupid

This is more redneck engineering territory, sure it’s a bit crude but seems like it works. Plus it’s giving that phone another use before it likely ends up in a landfill.

Well, it's good to see a Galaxy Flip being somewhat useful, finally.

If it's stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid.
