As much as touchscreens are fun and convenient to use, the streaks left behind are often incredibly annoying; instead of futilely rubbing them away, let the Automee-S by Takara Tomy takes care of it. Like a roomba for smartphones and tablets, it polishes screens to a high shine.
Measuring only 2.75 inches wide, the Automee-S by Takara Tomy fits perfectly in the palm of one's hand. Although that might seem a bit big for, say, an iPhone, it is actually the perfect size to clean such a surface. Equipped with special cleaning paper to properly wipe filth off of such sensitive screens, it also has sensors to ensure that it doesn't topple over the edge.
The Automee-S by Takara Tomy is not only helpful, it is also cute thanks to its movements.
