This thing has been kicking around my apartment for a couple of months now, and I just finally gave it a go yesterday, and: oh. Life just got about ten thousand times easier, now that I don’t have to smash my phone into the crevice between my ear and shoulder every time I want to talk to someone but require both hands for baby-shushing purposes.
