Edible Smartphone Protectors

The Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case is Perfect for Cases of Emergency

— November 15, 2012 — Lifestyle
It's not everyday that a person needs an emergency stash of food to ward of starvation, but if that day ever came, a person would wish they had given the Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case a second thought. An edible smartphone protector, a person would only be tempted to eat it in the most dire of situations. After all, someone can only guess what smartphone cases go through on a daily basis.

Of course, the Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case is more of a novelty than a practical protector. One drop and it will most likely shatter into a million little pieces. A Japanese product, it looks like it is made out of some kind of Asian treat, which probably does not boast any special heavy-duty properties. It does look tasty.
