The time-travelling car from the 1985 film Back to the Future fits comfortably over any iPhone 5/5S. The steel gray car lights up blue around the edges when a phone call comes in. These [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-iphone-case) mimic the way the DeLorean would light up in the film. It comes complete with a camera protector, which flips open when needed. It seems this [iPhone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-cases) takes us back to the past, unlike the title of the film where it comes from. Back to the Future is a cult classic film which is adored by many. Naturally, baby boomers haven't forgotten about it and have brought it into the modern day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Pop Culture Trends:** Opportunities for companies to capitalize on nostalgia and retro pop culture icons through innovative products. - **Novelty Phone Accessories:** The market for unique and unconventional phone cases and accessories as a way to express individuality. - **Smart Phone Personalization:** The market for customizable and unique phone cases as a way to personalize devices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovative phone accessories offer new opportunities for the consumer electronics industry to differentiate from competitors. - **Pop Culture Merchandise:** Trendy pop culture merchandise provides an opportunity for companies to capitalize on nostalgia and iconic branding. - **Customization Services:** Smartphone personalization could open up new doors for customization services and personalized gift products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Computer-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-c1.md) - [Retro Calculator Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ca500webf.md) - [Retro Tech-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c1-magfit.md) - [Spooky Film-Celebrating Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-caviar-1.md) - [Retro Cinema Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn.md) - [Power-Providing LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starcase.md) - [Car-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniel-arsham-11.md) - [Backwards-Compatible Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obsoless-iphone-case.md) - [80s-Inspired Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-e.md)
