18 August 2015

Seeing as our phones have become extensions of our arms, never further than 30cm, it only makes sense to accessorise, right? Here are the weirdest phone cases out there.

1. iEqualizer Case

The back of the phone reacts to ambient sound or music lighting up to make you feel like you’re Avicii.

Created by a 3D printer, this is a sure-fire way to get shot.

3. Hamee Original Dokkiri Hand Case

Every single time we look at this we shiver. It’s as if the creator saw Her and decided to take matters into his own hands (sorry).

4. iLuv Selfy Case

Too much dignity to use a selfie stick? This case packs a detachable
remote control so you can take a selfie, without looking like you’re taking a selfie.

6. Concepter Lunecase that harnesses your iPhone’s radiation to power notifications — on the back of your phone

We’re not going to lie, we like this one. Using the radiation that comes from your phone to illuminate icons on the back of the case to alert you when you receive a phone call or text message.

7. Prong PocketPlug case

Lost your charger for the fifth time? God damn cable fraying even though you never bend it? Enter the Prong PocketPlug, that allows you to plug straight into a socket. It’s currently only available for US plugs, but we have our fingers crossed.

8. FLIR ONE night-vision case

We have one word for you: Predator.

9. Feeling Skin case

A case that changes colour based on the moods of your friends which they enter into an accompanying app. An equally pointless invention as mood rings, only creepier.
