Why would someone even think of this product?

This exists. And it’s disgusting: The iPhone umbilical cord charger | ZAGGblog

Words fail me....

With the current level of restrictions on the SatGuys forum, I can't even click through to that site.
Shameful. -

I couldn't stop myself. I wish I had.

I think it is pretty cool.

I wish I wouldn't have clicked on that....

Going beyond the "yuck" factor, it takes away some functionality of the phone while it is being charged with the "womb".

Its a blog from zagg.com, the people who make invisible shields for smartphones. Not like its a porn site or something.

I don't understand why so many are grossed out. It is just a rubber cover on the cable that is made to look like an umbilical cord. I can understand if it was an actual umbilical cord.

I guess getting my undergrad in biology and seeing everything possible thing one can see, this is it the very low spectrum of gross too me.

It's not particularly gross (believe me it can't hold a candle to the real thing.) It looks like something you'd use as some sort of practical joke. Like you find someone with an iPhone and plug it in and then they look at it and think, "Holy s**t something is trying to eat my iPhone! Kill it kill it!!!"
