Adorable Phone Decorations

The Phoney Accessories Give a Little More Character to Your Phone

— March 5, 2013 — Tech
These adorable pieces of phone decorations by Phoney will make you stand out from the crowd. You simply plug them into your unused audio jack and you suddenly have a little piece of art perched on your phone. They come in a variety of designs such as mustaches, skulls and spray can lids.

Let's be honest here, there are really no functional benefits to these tiny figures. Besides possibly preventing dust from getting in your jack, these phone decorations are strictly for style and maybe for playing with, which is pretty awesome nonetheless and would certainly give that phone of yours some personality. I'm certainly tempted to rock the mustache one during Movember and the skull style during Halloween.
Trend Themes
1. Phone Decorative Accessories - There is an opportunity for disruption in the phone accessory industry, by introducing unique and eye-catching design which stands out from the crowd.
2. Audio Jack Ornaments - Innovation opportunity exists by introducing novel techniques of utilizing otherwise unused audio jacks for customization and personalization of smartphones.
3. Customizable Smartphone Accessories - The trend of customization is taking over the smartphone accessory industry, by offering personalized and unique accessories to add more character and style to the devices.
Industry Implications

2. Arts & Crafts Industry - There is an opportunity for the arts and crafts industry to introduce quick and easy DIY phone decorations with affordable materials, allowing users to create their own unique accessories.
3. Gifting Industry - Customizable phone decorations have the potential to disrupt the traditional gifting industry, by offering personalized and memorable gift options to tech-savvy individuals.
