I'm loving this Bender [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-toy-story) case from NOKOMOMO. 'Futurama' is one of my favorite TV shows, and its running jokes and catchphrases fuel my good humor when I'm in a pickle. The handmade Bender iPhone case is made from wool, and even though the case features the beloved Bender bot, booze breath is not included.

After you see more shots of the Bender iPhone case above, see more creations inspired by Matt Groening's *other* [animated television series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-puff-girls-collection), 'The Simpsons,' below.
