Homestar Planetarium Cell Phone Strap

Img10063127817

Sega Toys' home planetarium, HomeStar, was all the rage last year when buyers wiped shelves clean by buying these $250 toys in bulk. Now, there's a miniature version from Strap-Ya that you can hang from your keys, your cell phone, or your laptop bag—and it's only $7. All you have to do is put in a CR1220 battery, slide the side-switch to on, and peek through the lens. This was actually designed by the man who created HomeStar, though not distributed by Sega. Great for people who would rather be staring into a starry night than pee-stained subway seats on their daily commute to work.

It would be cool to come up with a compact size that leads to it being a contact lens.
