You can get a mini jail cell that lets you lock up smartphones
Whether it's the little ones misbehaving or you feel like you need a screen break, this cell lets you snatch up the smartphones and bang them up inside a mini cage.
We’ve all been guilty of spending too much time gawping at our phones during lockdown. So, maybe we should look at locking up our devices for a bit?
Believe it or not, there’s actually a jail cell out there that’s designed exclusively for smartphones, complete with lock and key.
Let’s be honest – the kids always find a way to access your secret hiding place when you confiscate their devices, and you probably know deep-down that you spend a huge chunk of the evening (or indeed, day) flicking through social media.
But this jail cell provides a solution on both fronts.
Whether it’s the little ones misbehaving or you feel like you need a screen break, simply snatch up the smartphones and bang them up inside a mini cage.

The sentence is up to you.
Created by Global Gizmos – a supplier of novelty products – the mobile phone jail measures 15cm x 13cm x 19cm, meaning there’s enough room to fit as many as five devices inside at any one time.

It could prove to be a very useful little contraption if you want to enjoy a family breakfast without everyone hunched over their glowing screens. Who knows, you might even end up talking to one another…

Manchester is preparing for one of its busiest nights of the year, as two huge music legends take to the stage and the football season draws to a close.
There’s no denying that Manchester‘s social calendar has been getting busier and the summer starts to arrive, and we all know we’ve got a huge weekend of festivals coming up to celebrate the late May bank holiday, but it actually seems like tonight (20 May) may be one of the busiest nights the city has seen all year so far.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is encouraging people to make the most of public transport and active travel options, as nearly 100,000 people are expected into the city for two huge concerts and a footballing finale tonight.
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen is set to play to a sold-out Co-op Live, pop icon Kylie Minogue brings her ‘Tension Tour’ to the AO Arena, and Manchester City play their final home game of the season at the Etihad Stadium with an 8pm kick-off.

Not only is it a big deal that two of music‘s biggest names are performing in the city tonight, but over at the Etihad, it will also be legendary midfielder Kevin De Bruyne’s final home game for Manchester City.
At the Etihad Campus, it’s expected that there will be a crossover with City and Springsteen fans arriving at the same time for their respective events, and then with City planning a ‘lap of appreciation’ following the final whistle for De Bruyne’s departure, it’s thought that both the football and music fans could be leaving at a similar time too.
This is why a travel warning has been issued, and as always, it’s advised to ‘plan ahead’.
If possible, TfGM is recommending that it’s best to travel to and from your respective events outside peak times, as this is when the roads and tram network will be at their busiest, so instead, Springsteen fans may wish to take advantage of the 4:30pm early entry at Co-op Live.
Alternatively, there will also be express and shuttle bus services to and from Co-op Live and the Etihad Campus for both Springsteen and City fans, as well as trams – many with ‘double trams’ – operating every six-minutes from the city centre, and several ‘Park & Ride’ options for those wishing to drive.
Those who choose to travel by car, though, it should be noted that there will be a closure on Chapel Street heading towards Salford (westbound), between Blackfriars Road and New Bailey Street, and although a diversion is in place, you may want to plan an alternative route.
For Kylie fans, the AO Arena is served by multiple tram and train lines, and bus networks, all of which will be running throughout the day, as well as being just a 15-minute walk from the heart of Manchester too.
