#2This is such a glaring weakness of the iPhone's current mute function. I can't believe we need a hacky hardware dongle to provide it.
But given that we're at that place, this is about as good a solution as I've seen for those times when you can't turn your phone off but absolutely do not want it to make noise.

I agree! In the video Ron says he created out of necessity and frustration.

#4My 3GS has a broken Ring/Silent switch that is permanently on 'ring'. I've been trying for a year to find a reliable way to make it shut up -- I'm a 'silent always' kind of guy, and that switch failure made me hate my phone. This looks like a pretty great solution!

A hardware solution to a software problem. So sad.
That said, I personally have no issues with the mute mode. I works as intended for me.
Also, this entire product lime can be made obsolete by a simple software update from Apple.

It is also not even in the same category of things as the Mutator.

It's a bit unwieldy to carry around attached to your phone even though it can achieve the same task (as well as others)

#10Wait, there's a problem with the mute function? Excepting alarms (from Clock.app), my iPhone is silent when it's switched to mute.
I'm guessing people have a bunch of third party apps installed that don't respect the mute button?
