Very dweeby $3 solution for our missing flash :D

As you all know, the removal of the beloved camera flash from the TP2 has been a thorn in many a side, including my own. The flashes on the Mogul & TP1 have saved me from countless broken necks while fumbling in the dark. But I have found something that is a usable, cheap remedy. BTW If you guys don't have Hastings where you live, a. I pity you cause Hastings is awesome, and b. if you don't know, it's a huge Borders-esque store that sells new & used movies & books, and also offers magazines, coffee, and random doodads. All kinds of neato stuff can be found there.

Behold! The Lümpod! A tiny, stick-on LED flashlight for cell phones. Yes, I bought 2 cause I have 2 cases lol...





PROS:

*Incredibly Cheap. $2.99 at Hastings(you can order it at Hastings.com if you don't have any stores in your area)
*Very bright dual LEDs
*4 colors- black, white, silver & pink
*Very strong 3M adhesive- this thing will NOT fall off
*Replaceable batteries
*Does not use your phone's battery
*Makes you look even nerdier

CONs:

*Adds slight bulk
*You have to hold the button to keep the light on(but that's kinda good cause it won't get accidentally turned on in a purse or pocket)
*Big con- Makes your phone kinda wobbly if you lay it on it's back
*Feels kinda wonky when texting
*Makes you look even nerdier

Anyway, just thought I'd share this with you guys in case nobody had seen these. I know a lot of you are really wishing for your flashlights back & this is as close as we're gonna get for a while.
