As our mobile devices become smaller and more intricate, the easier they are to lose. And the more powerful they become, the more desirable they are to thieves. The It's Mine Bluetooth bracelet links up to your mobile device and alerts you if the link is broken - by either the bracelet or the device going out of range. It does this by vibrating on your wrist.
We've seen similar devices in the past, such as the Kensington BungeeAir Power Wireless Security Tether for iPhone. Kensington's device wouldn't just alert you to your phone going missing, it would also help you find your keys, protect your phone from drops, provide additional battery life and lock the phone if someone tries to remove the case.
The It's Mine Bluetooth bracelet doesn't have quite as many additional features, and is compatible with a much wider range of Bluetooth-enabled devices, but it will alert you if you get a phone call, and enables you to reject unwanted phone calls if it's not the right time.
Verdict
While the It's Mine Bluetooth bracelet works well enough, there's no getting away from the fact that you have to wear the rather unattractive bracelet if you want to protect your phone. If the bracelet was slightly more stylish or had more functionality, such as a built-in watch, then it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
That said, if it keeps you from losing your precious smartphone, then £20 (around US$30/AU$29) and a slight knock to your street cred is a small price to pay.
