This banana phone case by Taiwanese company U-CUBE is as realistic as a fruit-mimicking phone case will get. Perfectly shaped and sized like a banana, this phone case will definitely get some confused glimpses.
Since time, people would jokingly take a banana to pretend like it’s a phone. This product takes that familiar humorous concept to bring it to life. The phone case turns your iPhone into an actual banana phone—the childhood joke is taken literally, as a fully functioning iPhone case.
The phone case is probably not something that could ever be taken seriously. Of course, the product’s advertisement poster features a man in a suit talking on his banana phone. This humorous case would just be the greatest comic relief to every day life.
