Self standing mobile phone
Most popular mobile phones are relatively flat and rectangular in shape, which conveniently fits into a shirt pocket or a small handbag, reports IOL.
"Problem is that the generalized shape makes the mobile phone inconspicuous when placed flat on a restaurant table or office desk. Often resulting in it being left behind or accidentally lost when leaving in a hurry.
This design for a mobile phone contains an egg-shaped outer casing that is equipped with a star-shaped weight at its wide base.
When placed on a flat surface, the weight ensures that the mobile phone remains upright in a vertical position, making it clearly visible and easy to take hold of when leaving in a hurry. Another advantage of a self-righting mobile phone is that its liquid crystal display is visible at all times".
