This becomes a bit tiring if the phone is in a wrap that covers the display, Golla has come up with some innovative covers for Apple iPhone, BlackBerry and Nokia smartphone. These have a caller ID window that displays the incoming call details, leav­ing it to the user to decide whether to take the handset out of the case to answer the call or not. Inventive thought.
