Brass Knuckle-Inspired Umbrellas

The Brolly by Brollytime is Made with Texting in Mind

Although it might seem like the Brolly by Brollytime, a company based in Chicago, Illinois, is an umbrella made for badass individuals, it was actually created with a functional feature in mind. The ergonomic handle and finger holes provide the user with a better grip so that they can multitask when standing or walking in the rain. For instance, people can text easier with such a tweak.

Named after the British term for umbrella, the Brolly by Brollytime thankfully doesn't adhere to the traditional design, at least when it comes to the handle. Covered in rubber, a person's grip is made even more solid. Overall, it addresses people's daily tech needs, in particular communications via smartphones.
