Product Description

Product Description

Here at ThinkGeek we're pretty lazy when it comes to technology. We expect our gadgets to do all the busywork while we focus on the high level important tasks like reading blogs. That's why we hate to have to crack open our laptops just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access about... and keychain wi-fi detectors, we would have to actually remove them from our pockets to look at them. But now thanks to the ingenious ThinkGeek robot monkeys you can display the current wi-fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you with this stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence. You can thank us later.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun, November 18, 2007

By	Lauren Love - See all my reviews

People for some reason don't know what this is. Personally, it makes me happy because they don't and I do. I love this shirt. The batteries are a little annoying but you can just wear another shirt under it (or a bra) and you won't even notice them.I bought one for my boyfriend, and he loves it. After all, who wants to go through the annoying process of turning on a computer to find a wi-fi network?

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice outside, but may not always be, June 10, 2008

By	C. Joo Kee (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It certainly looks nice, but the fabric screen on the surface of the shirt looks very obvious that its just an attachment onto the shirt. Hence, wearing it makes me look weird as the edge of the fabric screen protrudes out of my body. The comfort level is too compromised.
I will only recommend this for die-hard WiFi geek who wouldn't mind the discomfort of wearing a T-Shirt for the extra feature.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome gift for geeks, October 22, 2009

By	John Marcus (742 Evergreen Terrace) - See all my reviews

Others have already noted most of the obvious things, but one thing to note is that the corners of the panel can be really sharp. Crossing your arms or leaning forward can scrape your arms up a bit. I took some scissors and trimmed the corners into a rounded edge and that helps much, but IMO the velco on the shirt should be bigger to to hold more of the panel on instead of just the center.
