Have you ever been listening to music outside, only to find that other people are leeching off of your speakers by listening from afar? You can easily thwart these audio thieves with the cunning use of headphones, but what about when you’re watching TV? Sure, you could watch it inside and draw the curtains, but that’s no fun. No, what you need is a way to block your screen so that no one else has the chance to catch a glimpse of the video you worked so hard to be able to watch.

The TV Hat is an amazing product that takes video watching to a whole new level. At first glance it simply looks like a really stupid baseball cap. Closer inspection will reveal that your first impression was spot-on. Basically, this ridiculous thing will hold your iPod (or any other small device with a screen), so that you can watch it in private. Oddly enough the flaps aren’t there to block people from seeing your screen. Rather, it keeps you from seeing just how many people are pointing at you. This fashion statement can be yours for just $30.
