Do you go overboard with texting, do you text so much your thumbs hurt? Maybe you are becoming concerned with carpal tunnel or some other finger crippling problem, if so then stop texting…or on the other hand you could get an ‘Awethumb’.

‘Awethumb’ is a protective thumb cover for the ardent texter, a colourful shield that slips over your thumbs. Apparently these rubber shields reduce the impact stress on your digits while texting and thus reduce the risk of any problems.

‘Awethumb’ costs under $20 for a full set with pouch that is of course if you are gullible, no mention of laptop and PC users though. Video of the ‘Awetumb’ can be found below.
