The idea behind this premise was customization. With the adaptation of additional [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage) blocks, the user is able to attach different pieces to the case and create custom Smallworks Brickcase designs. The case comes in a variety of shades and is very reasonably priced. The only problem now is finding all those LEGO pieces you stored in the closet when you were a kid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **LEGO Phone Cases:** There is an opportunity for customizable and interactive phone cases using LEGO blocks. - **Toy-inspired Technology Accessories:** There is a growing trend of accessories being influenced by popular childhood toys. - **User-generated Designs:** Users can design their own phone cases with endless possibilities using modular blocks. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Technology Accessories:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to explore toy-inspired customizable technology accessories. - **Customization Platforms:** A platform where users can design and customize their own technology accessories using modular blocks is a promising new market. - **Toy and Gaming Industry:** The toy and gaming industry can expand its offerings into the technology accessories market, creating new revenue streams. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Modular Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-sliding-system.md) - [Playful Custom Tech Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charm-phone-case.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [Building Block Tech Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charger-platform.md) - [Customizable LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-iphone-case.md) - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Interactive Gaming Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-phone-case.md) - [Power-Providing LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starcase.md) - [Plantable Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igreen-cover.md)
