Product to dim your iphone / droid screen at night?
« on: January 08, 2016, 11:16:23 PM »
i have a very bad habit of loving to read on my iPhone when i lay down in bed.  While not good for my insomnia, I do enjoy reading some of my books or surfing MMM or whatever.

That said, the dimmer on my iphone doesn't dim the phone enough to not bother my wife and the phone is so bright that your eyes can start burning after 30 min or so.

With all the scratch proof guards you can put on your phones to protect the actual gorilla glass, is there not a product out there that still allows you to swipe the screen but is essentially polarized or tinted so it significantly reduces the brightness?

This product would need to be removable because during the day the the screen needs to be brighter.

If there isn't one out there i can buy, this is going on my shark tank list.

I know for android there are several apps that accomplish this- Lux works decently, and cf.lumen is great if you're rooted.

For iOS, I found this article that might help: http://www.imore.com/dim-your-screen-further-control-center-allows-and-other-cool-ios-8-tricks
