Shaggy Phone Protectors

The Monster Case Turns Your Mobile into a Furry Friend

— January 30, 2012 — Tech
No, that's not a furry animal in your bag -- it's the Monster Case! While there are a plethora of phone cases to choose from these days, if you're looking for something that not only protects your phone but makes it extra fun to touch, then the Monster Case should be on your shopping list.

A hardcase with a swatch of faux fur attached to it, the Monster Case comes in three different colors: 'Snow White,' 'Creamy Caramel' (which seems to be for more luxurious tastes) and 'Schnauzer Grey.' If you don't already have a pet, then that last option should really make you feel as if you do.

The Monster Case retails for $40 and snaps on easily onto any iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
