There are also sorts of phone gadgets on the market - with some more of a gimmick than a useful bit of kit. But sometimes the simplest ideas are the best and users wonder why they have never been thought of before.
Tesco Mobile has created a must-have mini attachable mobile phone umbrella – The Tesco Mobile Parasol – which is designed to block sun rays - and even British summer downpours. This fun, yet helpful summer accessory, couldn’t have come at a better time.
Searches for ‘how to keep phone cool’ have risen by 17 per cent in the last month, and close to 80,000 Amazon searches have been recorded for anti-glare and anti-glare screen products this year. The handy parasol has been designed to celebrate Tesco Mobile being one of the only networks to offer Home From Home roaming in 48 destinations in Europe and beyond, at no extra cost.
Rachel Swift, Tesco Mobile chief customer officer, said: “As families prepare to enjoy themselves at home or abroad this summer, we know that there’s always a desire to stay connected. Everyone can relate to the difficulties we face when trying to read our phone on the beach.
"That’s why we’ve created a little something to help you take the perfect beach selfie and scroll aimlessly all whilst allowing our customers to continue to roam in Europe and beyond at no extra cost. ”
Compatible with iPhone and Samsung, it’s available exclusively on the Tesco Mobile website, consumers can get their hands on own of their own parasols by signing up here - but they’ll need to be quick as they won’t be available for long.
