Light it Up

Have you been somewhere that you don't want your phone to make any noise, but needed to stay in touch at the same time?

That's what was happening to New Orleans musician Terrence Green when he was on stage or recording, two places where keeping quiet is important. Green came up with the idea for the Sparx case -- a way to "disco ball" his phone so he knew when he had a notification, but without interrupting others.

Though this new idea -- which is available in six colors! -- is in the prototype phase for now, the creators say they can produce 1,000 pretty quickly if they can get funding through a Kickstarter campaign they're running.

What do you think? Is the Sparx case the next big thing? Or is it just another way to create a digital distraction? Vote in the poll and tell us what you think.
