Wildlife Headphone Accessories

Eduardo Alessi Creates Cute Phone Accessories with a Dual Purpose

— June 13, 2013 — Tech
Designer Eduardo Alessi created a series of three multifaceted cute phone accessories disguised like vibrantly colored creatures from under the sea.

The CRAB Headphone Splitter is an audio jack that lets the user hook up two sets of headphones to one phone. This audio splitter is perfect for listening to music or watching videos with friends, and can also be used as a keychain. Second, the CROCODILE Phone Stand uses the hinged mouth of the crocodile to open up and hold a phone on a tilt. This is great for watching movies, phone calls or any type of hands-free phone action.

Lastly, the OCTOPUS Phone Stand uses the slender middle portion of the octopus’s body as a place to wrap around and store your headphones without tangling them while on the go. All three of these cute phone accessories are made from plastic, are pocket-sized and are cartoonishly cute.
Trend Themes
1. Cute Phone Accessories - Designing adorable and functional phone accessories can appeal to consumers looking for unique and fun ways to enhance their mobile experience.
2. Multifaceted Audio Splitters - Creating audio splitters that not only allow multiple people to listen to the same device but also serve additional functions like keychains can capture the attention of tech-savvy individuals seeking convenience and versatility.
3. Hands-free Phone Stands - Developing phone stands that can securely hold phones in a tilted position, enabling hands-free activities such as watching movies or making hands-free calls, presents opportunities for those seeking innovative ways to enhance mobile usage.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can explore the potential of creating cute and multifunctional phone accessories to meet the demands of consumers looking for unique and innovative tech gadgets.
2. Mobile Accessories - The mobile accessories industry can tap into the market of individuals who value both functionality and creativity by offering multifaceted and cute phone accessories.
3. Design and Fashion - The design and fashion industry can collaborate with tech accessory designers to create aesthetically pleasing and functional phone accessories that add a touch of style and personalization to the mobile experience.
