One of the downsides to glossy devices and touchscreens is fingerprints. It's amazing (and let's face it, kind of gross) how quickly they can soil and muck up an otherwise gorgeous gadget, isn't it?

Since cloudy smudges do nothing but serve as reminders of just how filthy our fingers really are (they're also one of the reasons I usually refuse to touch display models in stores), something cute and silly like StrapYa's paw cleaning pad seems like the perfect antidote. Just slip your finger into the little "mitt" and wipe away the visible germs and general ickiness. Sure, the bacteria from strangers is probably still there, but that's really not the point.

Available from Japan in various colors and prints for about $5.
