RSSPortable cell phone booth makes you seem more old school
Here at Make, we like projects that re-imagine old tech into new forms and constructions. Although the "Portable Cellular Phone Booth" project by Nick Rodriguez may seem completely insane to most people, it's a pretty interesting take on the one problem that keeps coming up when you use your cell phone in public spaces.... Lack of privacy.
The video is pretty hilarious.

Someone beat me to the actual construction of this!
...came out better than mine would have though. Excellent work.

And apparently he beat me to it by 6 years... so it predates my even thinking of it. Double dang!

The fact that it folds like that makes it so awesome; though I wonder how much sound it truly blocks.

I got a good laugh out of that video. If only more people used these things maybe our going out in public would be more tolerable.
