Soft Avian Phone Covers

The Angry Birds Felt Case by L Atelier is Super Fly

— February 27, 2011 — Tech
Trend Hunter has covered the plastic version of these phone covers, but now a softer version is offered in the Angry Birds Felt Case for mobiles.

Made by L Atelier, this felt sleeve for gaming fans is handmade with every avian detail carefully handstitched. The Angry Birds Felt Case fits almost every mobile device, including iPods and any other slim device you would like to protect.

Implications - Popular culture is constantly changing, and thus, when developments such as the Angry Birds game continue to stick for lengthy periods of time, businesses should take note. Businesses that appropriate such phenomenons into their designs -- like this avian phone cover does -- will appeal to pop culture-conscious consumers.
Trend Themes
1. Pop Culture Phone Covers - There is potential for new phone covers modeled after other popular games, TV shows or movies to appeal to similar pop culture-conscious consumers.
2. Handmade Phone Accessories - There is potential for other handmade phone accessories made from alternative textiles or materials to differentiate and attract consumers looking for unique phone protection.
3. Interchangeable Phone Covers - There is potential for companies to create customizable phone cases that can be easily swapped out to match a consumer's style preference and mood.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Accessories - The mobile accessories industry can continue to create unique and playful phone cases to cater to consumers looking to add personality to their devices.
2. Gaming Merchandise - The gaming merchandise industry can create phone cases and accessories from popular games, like Angry Birds, to further capitalize on the success and fan base of these games.
3. Fashion Accessories - The fashion accessories industry can take inspiration from L Atelier's handmade and detailed phone case to create unique, high-end phone covers that appeal to fashion-forward consumers.
