A Dutch firm has come up with an iPhone case that includes a cup holder, enabling iPhone addicts to text while precariously balancing a cup of boiling hot liquid inches from their expensive gadget.
Called the Uppercup, the is the brainchild of design firm Natwerk, who say it could sell for £21 later this year.
The Uppercup phone holder slips around a hot takeaway cup enabling two handed texting while nursing the drink
'It wouldn't work if you use your phone for calling, but you wont be needing two hands then either.'
The company says: 'No more one handed typing.
'No more spilling coffee on your lap.
'It will leave your hands free for your optimal texting, gaming and social networking pleasure.
One of the employees of Natwek, the Dutch firm who came up with the idea, demonstrating a prototype
'Ever since the first smart phone came to the market we all have been waiting for Uppercup, the first cupholder for the iPhone.
'Together we can change the world with this revolutionary product.'
The company, which creates ideas for brands such as O'Neill, Sourcy and Puma, came up with the Uppercup between projects.
It has a range of self developed products described as - fun and not too serious.'

They hope the Uppercut will have a retail-price of £21.
