What about watching the image on your cell phone (not thru the view finder)??

Close one eye and you can stare straight at the sun no problem

Just close both eyes and, voila, instant eclipse. No need to wait for the sun and moon to align.

You can put your phone in selfie mode and watch in your background.

Only if you use a magnifying glass too.

Won't it be too bright to see anything? Won't your screen just be bright light?

I thought that was a great idea, but you still need protection:

quote:

Many people will think it’s safe to take a selfie with the eclipse in the background because they aren’t looking directly at the sun,” says Tongalp Tezel, MD, a retina expert at Columbia University Medical Center. “What they may not realize is that the screen of your phone reflects the ultraviolet rays emitted during an eclipse directly toward your eye, which can result in a solar burn.”

Eclipse Selfie Can Cause Solar Burn

Maybe it's safe with eyewear, but definitely not without.
