iPhone Decals Give Your Phone a Serious Downgrade

Sean Fallon — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:54:36 +0000

So you go out and buy one of the best smartphones out there, then slap a sticker on it that makes it look like a crappy old Nokia or Samsung? Maybe your hardcore friends are calling you a poser or something for owning an iPhone. If that’s the case, I don’t think these decals are going to fool anyone.

Sean Fallon — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:43:43 +0000

This witch has an obsession known as “objectophilia.” That is to say, she has a sexual attraction to inanimate objects. She will violate any MP3 player or cellphone you put in front of her.

This handcrafted Etch a Sketch (or “i-Sketch”) iPhone case is certainly eye catching, plus it would be a nice paring with an Etch a Sketch app.

Keep you cellphone secure while driving in the passionate embrace of this adhesive holder. Then again, “secure” might not be the right word. It kind of looks like this thing is trying to hump it.

Sean Fallon — Thu, 21 May 2009 14:19:00 +0000

Foodies can now weigh down their cellphones with oversized straps shaped like a smiley face burger and two varieties of cake. If that wasn’t mouth-watering enough, the straps supposedly smell like the food they represent. A gallery is available after the break.

Final Fantasy Buster Sword Keychain

I don’t think this Buster Sword replica keychain will do you much good in a street fight, but I can see it being useful for opening mail and boxes. There are several other weapons and charms available from manga faves like Final Fantasy, Bleach, Naruto and One Piece—a selection is pictured after the break.

“Elegant” Roast Chicken and Corn Cellphone Charms

Sean Fallon — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 13:14:29 +0000

Yeah, “elegant” would be the word I’d use to describe that roast chicken cellphone charm. Add a side of corn on the cob (pictured after the break) and “delicious” would be another.

Pipe and Cigarette LED Cellphone Strap

Sean Fallon — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:04:55 +0000

No, this isn’t a cigarette lighter that hangs from your cellphone, it’s actually just a LED flashlight. Why it is shaped like a pipe with a cigarette dangling from it is beyond me.

Sean Fallon — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:01:54 +0000

Okay, so it’s felt bacon—but this iPhone case still reminds you of bacon (and we always want to be reminded of those we love). Plus it probably still tastes better than tofu.
