Think Geek Retro Bluetooth Handset quick weight mod. (Because heavier is better)

Think Geek Retro Bluetooth Handset quick weight mod. (Because heavier is better)

Add a little extra heft to your Think Geek Retro Bluetooth Handset. Because heft=quality. At least in retro-land.

Requires:
5 3/4 Inch fishing sinkers
A hot glue gun
The phone

This is an easy mod and should not take longer than half an hour.

Step 1Open your phone

Open the bottom (microphone) end of the phone by twisting it firmly counter clockwise. It should rotate and then stop. Gently pull and detach the microphone assembly from the phone, being careful not to put tension on the wires.

I could not get the top of the phone open by doing the same thing, so I removed the handle cover by pulling on the bottom and shimmying it out.

yes. I put lead in it. I'm not sure how much weight the sinkers are, but i'm happy with the way it feels now. It went from flimsey feeling to something a bit more solid. It doesn't feel cumersome if that is what you are wondering.
