The company behind the beastly plastic shoes has released a branded cell phone holder that looks just like the slip on garden/nurse shoes, and in an array of atrocious colours too. The mobile phone holsters are being released by Crocs Europe where the footwear label is apparently still hot. Germany, the UK, Austria, Finland, France, Italy, Greece and Spain will sell the **[Crocs o-dial phone cases](http://justamp.blogspot.com/2008/03/crocs-europe-introduces-innovative.html)** when they hit stores May 1 for about $15. The cases are inspired by the [Crocs Cayman](http://shop.crocs.com/pc-16-4-cayman.aspx) shoe model and will be offered in a variety of colours like black, silver, red, grape, fuchsia, celery, cotton candy and turquoise. To top it off, they'll be compatible with the [Jibbitz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases) charms so you can customize your silly case to match your goofy shoes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Branded Phone Cases:** Opportunity for brands to create unique phone cases that reflect their brand identity. - **Customizable Phone Accessories:** Trend towards phone accessories that can be personalized or customized by the user. - **Novelty Phone Cases:** Increasing popularity of phone cases that have unique or quirky designs that stand out from the crowd. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create phone cases that reflect their brand aesthetic and appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. - **Consumer Electronics:** Trend towards personalization of phone accessories provides an opportunity for consumer electronics companies to increase customer loyalty. - **Gift and Novelty:** Increasing demand for novelty phone cases presents an opportunity for gift and novelty companies to expand their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Embroidered Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cactus-leather-embroidery-collection.md) - [Retro Computer-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-c1.md) - [Chunky Multi-Color Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-crush-clog.md) - [Gorpcore-Inspired Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-bounce-case.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kick-case.md) - [Outrageous Toe-Like Sandal Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toe-jibbitz.md) - [Australia-Honoring Clog Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streetx-x-crocs-classic-clog.md) - [Gummy Candy-Inspired Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-and-haribo.md)
