For example, stick a TecTile on the nightstand and in the evening, when you go to the bed, just tapping the phone on the sticker will change the profile on phone to 'night mode' and activate the morning alarm.

Stick another one on the car's dash, makes the phone automatically switch to Blue tooth mode for driving and send a text to person's loved one letting them know they are on their way.

However, its not yet known if the stickers or the app will be available on phones other than Samsung.

TecTiles will be sold five to a pack at 15 dollars on June 21.
