The whole purpose behind Zying Chai's [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/methaphone) cage is to give the user a little gadget break while adding some mood lights to a room. The cage itself is completely sound proof, meaning that this cage could actually function as a replacement for a candle over a romantic meal. All the user has to do is set their iPhone to mood light mode, plug it into the dock, and seal it up. [Presto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottobot), you're unreachable during your romantic dinner.
