Did you know you can make a great summer projector from your mobile phone with a use of magnifying glass and a simple carton box? Or a macro camera with only a use of a drop of water? And even more !

Here are my top 10 useful tricks that might help you in your trips or daily life

1.Spare Cash $ and lost return card

Put some extra $ under the phone cover or under battery. Although some places will let you pay with your mobile phone or a credit card, there are lots of places, even small shops where cash will be the only way to pay. This might save a moment. You can also leave a card, business card with information to who belongs this phone. Chances are you might get it back when you loose it.

2. Lost phone ? Prevent it

You can prevent it also in another way – use track my phone, or find my phone option in your phone or install an external application.

You can also set up a lock screen with your contact or edit your favorite wallpaper and simply add the contact there. So when someone will find it and charge it  – will see your lock screen. You can also check if your mobile phones have this option pre-prepared for you. In some phones this option is in options, security – owner info.

3. Professional camera or even whole studio!

External photo lenses on a simple clip for amazing photo shoot. Those lenses will make your phone act like a pro camera. Also a simple Macro lens can be made with a drop of water on the camera. You can add to this a good photo editing software and you are ready to go. Boom ! A professional studio that fits to your pocket.
