iPhone barf bag mod is air sick

Sure, it's foolish and low-tech as hell. But in the 8-hours you were cooped up on that transatlantic flight, did you ever once think about using the barf bag as an adjustable mount for your media player? No, you just held your iPod touch in your hand, occasionally dozing off until awakened by a jerk of the earbuds from your fallen iPod. Who's the fool now?

Why, because it is the complete opposite of lying at home on the sofa? Yeah, good one!

Have anyone forget about the Mei-phone has a non replaceable battery and that it cannot last for 2 hours talking, or more than 45 min watching video.

Interesting solution to a common problem, but I came across a great product recently that blows this out the MacGiver type solution out the water!!

check out www.iflyz.com

I have not seen one of these in person yet, but it looks well thought out. The flexible gooseneck is perfect and from the pictures on the website it looks like it is good to go. A great solution for movie watching on planes... at least until they figure out a way to let us plug our devices into the t.v. screens on the back of the seats. I will be first on the order list when it comes out in January.

i think for every apple post there is a million apple hater posts. Whose more biased?

[switcheasy Posted Dec 5th 2008 12:38PM]

I love how jealous people get because this site loves another device and not there. The haters on wish they were getting this much attention with whatever phone they have. Keep it up engadget. If u listen to these guys u will never be able to post anythig about apple again. At least if u keep up this so called "bias" you'll get a shitlload of comments!

Everyones a fanboy dicks. Just for differant shit. But keep posting the hate losers

Reading your batshit illiterate comment is more painful then watching Brokeback Mountain.

[StevenM Posted Dec 5th 2008 12:48PM]

lol thats genius

[Fanfoot Posted Dec 5th 2008 12:55PM]

You know, there's probably a whole subcategory of hacking devoted to how to jerk off to porn on your iPod/iPhone that you're missing Engadget. I can see applications for this thing if you can figure out how to apply it to public bathrooms in airports too...

LOL! everytime I took a plane, and this happens almost twice a month...I always think who the hell is going to produce a clip to hang the iPhone from the front seat...

it's really a pain to hold he device with the hand!

cheers!!!!

How did they cut that hole in the bag on an airplane?

God what will Ben Heck think of next?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 5th 2008 5:08PM]

I hope this doesnt violate the app store agreement

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 5th 2008 10:53PM]

I would like to know how much Apple paid for this. Seriously.

[Grusic Posted Dec 6th 2008 2:26AM]

I would have liked to have seen actual vomit on the iPhone, because that's how I feel every time I read something about it. Man, talk about free marketing!

And, no, I'm not jealous of people that own them, because I could actually afford one if I wanted it. However, I refuse to buy one because of all the hype.

An iPhone in a bag of hurt . . .

Um... those look like awfully clean cuts on that bag (well, poorly done, clean cuts)... Where are you supposed to get a pair of scissors on a flight?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 6th 2008 1:22PM]

children's plastic non pointy scissors

[Someoneishere Posted Dec 6th 2008 1:21PM]

You would look like a fool next to someone with an ARCHOS!

The best part is when you fall asleep and realize that your iPhone has been replaced with an iFone.

[Garst Posted Dec 7th 2008 3:36PM]

Apparently, you're not talented enough to sleep and hold your PMP. And I don't fall asleep when watching most things, only when listening to audio. The exception to that, when I watch "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Their sleepiness seems to cause my sleepiness; so I'm probably screwed when the pod people come.

That's awesome as hell. I never fly anymore or own a video ipod or iphone but if I did I would do this!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 8th 2008 3:55PM]

I am ordering one of these at www.iflyz.com. Not quite as attractive as the barf bag but should do the trick.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 10th 2008 6:30AM]

Our customers use our Chuckie Bags sick bags for many odd things, but never seen this.
