The O SmartBall

A Must-Have for Parents and Grandparents and Favorite Aunts!

I have 11 nieces and nephews that are school age or younger (and then another 12 that are middle school age or older). That is a LOT of kids wanting to play with their favorite aunt's cell phone!

So, when I saw this opportunity to review the O SmartBall, I jumped on it. Sounds pretty cool, right? I can protect my $400 phone but yet still have my place as favorite aunt, entertain the kids and let them use my phone to play games and apps. And, I get bonus points from my siblings if the games are educational!

So, what you do is put the cell phone inside this ball, and it protects it from the dangers of life with kids. Dropping it? No worries, your cell phone is protected. It is a safe way for kids to play without harming your phone.

You can download apps for the O SmartBall, just go to Google Play (on an Android device) or App store (on iOS) and you can get the ones appropriate for your child. (Most of the apps are free).

A few pointers: I don't think that it is appropriate for kids under 3 years old. My 19 month old niece was more interested in the ball itself, than playing the apps on the phone. I would say pre-school age and above would be great.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
