Physically securing phones to a display desk/case?

Dracata · 29 Sep 2008 at 15:05

Not sure where to post this really, but we have a tradeshow soon in which we're demoing some software on mobile platforms, as such we're purchasing a few demo phones (couple of iphones, n95s, blackberrys etc..).

Has anyone done anything similar, and have any experience of the best way to physically secure these phones so someone can't nab one and run off into a crowd?

Ideally the phones need to be usable and slightly mobile, so users can pick up and play with them etc.

Any companies that do the sort of thing that they do in mobile phone shops? I did a google search but it failed me (or maybe just my search term failed me).

Usually on a mechanism/wire that sets an alarm off if the phone is removed. In phone shops that's how they do it anyway.

Buy a rottweiler too. Secure THAT to the desk...actually, don't. Let it roam free around the display. Perhaps smear some puree'd postman's leg on the phones for added security.
