It’s a Kickstarter-funded slab of plastic that is supposed to be a smartphone substitute for those who can’t let go of their handset. The idea is that with the NoPhone in hand, and with no display to stare at, the smartphone addicted can enjoy real conversations at dinner, spend quality time with loved ones, and even enjoy their surroundings, all without suffering smartphone withdrawals.
The NoPhone also can be used to fake out thieves who demand your smartphone, or as a gag gift for those who do have smartphones on their brain constantly. And that is where today’s press release from NoPhone comes in. The company has announced that more than 2000 NoPhones have been sold for the holidays. The company adds that orders placed by December 7th, will arrive by December 25th.
The NoPhone is priced at $12, and you can buy 5 for $55. There is even a “selfie” version priced at $18, which includes a mirror on the front of the unit. If you have a boy/girl friend who pays more attention to their phone than to you, this is the perfect gift for this holiday season.
