On the Indigo 1026 from Singapore to Chennai, I saw a passenger two seats in front of me watch videos in an interesting way.

She had wrapped her phone in a plastic cover, wedged it behind the tray table so that it would appear at a comfortable viewing position, and watched an Asian movie (presumably with bluetooth headphones).

At first, I wondered if she travels with a plastic wrapper for this purpose. Then I realized it was from the Indigo safety instructions kit.

Now, that's either a very experienced flyer (who knows about the wrapper) or a very innovative person (likely both).

I was curious, so I asked her:

1. Have you done this before? **ANS**: Yes, many times.
2. Did you know that Indigo carries these wrappers you could use? **ANS**: No but flights usually carry a Ziploc bag.
3. Is it easy to control through the wrapper? **ANS**: I don't touch it much while watching. (I was able to control it but fingerprint unlock didn't work)

It's fascinating to discover such innovations in the wild!
