# Selfie Stick Phone Cases This Phone Case Comes Complete with a Built-In Extendable Selfie Stick By David Ingram | Published 2016-01-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extendable-selfie-stick References: [coolthings](http://www.coolthings.com/stikbox-smartphone-case-selfie-stick/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/634593202/stikbox-the-first-selfie-stick-case-for-iphone) The 'STIKBOX' is an extendable selfie stick that conveniently collapses into a [smartphone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sigracen-case). The folding aluminum selfie stick has all the benefits of a typical camera tool, without having to worry about any unwanted and additional bulk. The entire case measures in at only 17 mm thick, and the aluminum slats that make up the arm can easily fold out further than an arm's length when taking pictures. The phone case is also highly adjustable, to help guarantee the best angle for that perfect shot. When you're finished taking the picture, you can easily fold the extendable selfie stick arm back up and into your pocket with ease. The phone case can also be used in [kickstand mode](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2) for watching videos, adding to the overall convenience of the design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Extendable Selfie Stick Phone Cases:** The integration of selfie sticks into phone cases creates a new potential market segment for tech accessories. - **Ultra-slim Phone Case Design:** Incorporating compact but durable features into phone cases will likely increase their popularity as a portable solution. - **Flexible and Adjustable Phone Cases:** The cases' adaptability can further attract consumers who value convenience and functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smartphone Accessories:** The rise of smartphone photography opens the market for more specialized products such as STIKBOX. - **Mobile Phone Cases and Covers:** Mobile phone protection and customization continues to be a growing industry globally. - **Consumer Electronics:** The robotic camera feature of STIKBOX represents a significant breakthrough in consumer tech design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Dual Screen Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfix.md) - [Secondary Display Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfix-case.md) - [Videography Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90-degree-instinct-case.md) - [Origami-Style Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moft-snap-phone-tripod-stand.md) - [Hidden Storage Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sd-card-phone-case.md) - [Photographer-Targeted Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-cases1.md) - [Adjustable Clip Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phoneclip.md) - [Multifunctional Stealthy Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ostand-spin.md) - [Protective Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stash-stand-case.md)
