# Face Mask Styluses The Finger-Nose Stylus Lets You Use Your Touch-Screen Gadgets in the Tub By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-nose-stylus References: [uniquedaily](http://uniquedaily.com/2011/04/finger-nose-stylus/) & [variationsonnormal](http://variationsonnormal.com/2011/04/28/finger-nose-stylus-for-touchscreens/) I could see hardcore texters and tweeters making the Finger-Nose Stylus one of the best-selling smartphone accessories of all time. The Finger-Nose Stylus was designed by Dominic Wilcox as a way for him to use his [touchscreen smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-pen) in the bath without getting it wet. The Finger-Nose Stylus is a [stylus mounted into a plastic nose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermimicking-makeup-applicators) conveniently covered in little hairs. The device makes you look almost like a dog while wearing it, but thankfully there wouldn't be anyone to judge you in the situations you'd use it in (taking a bath, on the toilet, et cetera). Unfortunately for the aforementioned texters and tweeters, it seems like this design is nothing more than a [joke meant to poke fun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-grass) at people who can't seem to ever put their smartphones down. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Touch-screen Styluses:** Develop and market more innovative touch-screen styluses for unique use-cases like using devices in the bath or on the toilet. - **Personalized Phone Accessories:** Develop and market personalized styluses or phone accessories for users who want to stand out with unique designs like the Finger-Nose Stylus. - **Humorous Phone Accessories:** Explore the market for humorous phone accessories that appeal to users with a sense of humor or desire to stand out. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile Device Accessories:** Mobile device accessories manufacturers and retailers can develop and sell innovative touch-screen styluses and personalized phone accessories. - **Gift and Novelty Industry:** Companies in the gift and novelty industry can develop and sell humorous phone accessories, like the Finger-Nose Stylus, targeting users with a sense of humor. - **Personal Electronics:** Companies in the personal electronics industry can expand their product line to include unique, personalized, or humorous phone accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Finger Balance Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-stabilizer.md) - [Acrylic Smartphone Addiction Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/methaphone.md) - [Disposable Nose Vapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nose-vape.md) - [Multipurpose Scent-Releasing Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nosewise.md) - [Touch-Free Santizing Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-free-pen.md) - [Antimicrobial Tablet Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antimicrobial-active-stylus-for-ipad.md) - [Tongue-Controlled Digital Interfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-interfaces.md) - [Smell-Oriented Virtual Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-university-of-hong-kong.md) - [Colorful Tech Stylus Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crayon-pro.md)
