The snap-on flashlight is great for finding keys in the dark.
Both units come with a snap-on protective cap that can be attached to any keychain for convenient portability and accessibility.

that’s just plain funny.

I guess I can understand the flashlight…sorta. But a laser pointer? Why do I need one that attaches to the iPod when you can buy them self-standing that are 1/2 the size of the attachment?

Assuming you can find the flashlight in the dark

I’ve never seen one half that size, but they probably exist. So I suppose we may as well ask why anyone bothers to sell ANY laser pointers bigger than that. And yet you can buy laser pointers in many shapes. Strange but true.

The obvious reasons, though:

1. It’s plenty small enough already.

2. It needs no battery.

3. It comes with a flashlight

audio geek: Finding the flashlight in the dark will never be a problem… you can attach it to your keychain

turn on your iPod back light to find the flashlight

doesnt the ipod back light screen create enough light to find a missing key. also it attaches to audio jack so you cant point your laser point while you listen to music. in my opinion it seems pretty useless.

Talk about slow days…

Must’ve been a REALLY s-l-o-w one at Griffin’s product development lab to come up with these two ‘accessories’.  Wonder how much of a Christmas bonus the ‘inventor’ will have to PAY OUT to the rest of the company for bringing these two out to market.

Look for boxes and boxes of these things to show up at your local 99¢ store in about 6 months.

Maybe they are more expesive in the US, but in Canada you can buy a keychain laser pointer for a $1 (CAD) at any dollar store…

How utterly, utterly pointless!

Sad fact is that I bet there’s plenty of people who will actually buy this rubbish
