If you let the battery completely drain, we've added a simple way to remove the back by inserting a small pin into your Noke allowing you to access the battery even when it's locked. This ensures you'll never have to worry about being stranded with a dead battery.

I have my fair share of questionably useful gadgets, but this one...this one is beyond understanding to me.

Not even close.

Exactly! Same here. He said "I just lightly brush them with my fingers..." and I'm thinking "NO, YOU FOOOOL!!!"
