This Mermaid case by Olivia Rose proves that even creatures of the sea will stick to Starbucks til the day they die.
The cheeky phone case features a mermaid skeleton that looks eerily similar to the one on the Starbucks' logo, albeit a little more grim.
Though we doubt it'll send you to an early grave, the coffee franchise is definitely an addiction, like any other, making this case perfect for fraappuccino junkies with a sense of humor.
If you've ever had to be reminded that you can't survive solely on pumpkin spice lattes (challenge accepted), then it's definitely the case for you! With Halloween only a couple months away, the ghoulish mermaid won't look out of place.
