Nothing spoils the party like the impact of an accidentally airborne Wiimote smacking into the fragile glass front of your big-screen LCD TV. D'oh!
What you need is something like TV-Armor, a quarter-inch acrylic shield that hangs between your TV and objects that would do it harm, from flying remote controls to Tonka trucks to highball glasses.
The manufacturer describes it as being made of optical-grade acrylic, with a 90-degree bend near the top for hanging it, and a series of 1/4-inch thick felt spacers to separate the plastic from the TV's surface and to absorb impact. Velcro straps secure the shield to the TV.
"Balls, Toys, Wii controllers, TV remotes, beer cans, etc, are all easily stopped by TV Armor," says the company's Michael Cunningham.
