# Cigarette-Lighting Smartphone Protectors The SuperNova Lighter iPhone Case Encourages Bad Habits By Meghan Young | Published 2014-04-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernova-lighter-iphone-case References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2014/04/30/iphone-case-will-light-cigarete/) & [gadgetsandgear](http://www.gadgetsandgear.com/lighter-phone-case.html) While smokers continue to get a bad rap from health organizations and governments, products such as the [SuperNova](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starburst-spacecraft) Lighter iPhone Case are still being made to show that they are in fact not alone. Although it encourages a bad habit, it is a habit that is slow to disappear, might as well appeal to a diminishing market while they're still around. The SuperNova Lighter iPhone Case was made specifically for the 5 and 5S models. It ensures that a smoker is never without their lighter, unless they forget their phone at home. Of course, an actual lighter is easier to forget. The heat is rechargeable through a MicroUSB. Convenient and affordable, it is also safety proof as a sliding door closes over it when it is not in use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Cigarette-lighting Accessories:** Opportunity for innovative products that combine cigarette-lighting functionality with other everyday items. - **Convenience Technology:** Exploring ways to integrate convenience features into everyday devices, such as phone cases. - **Catering to Niche Markets:** Identifying and meeting the needs of specific consumer groups, even if they are considered diminishing markets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mobile Accessories:** Opportunity for mobile accessory manufacturers to create unique and practical products that enhance user experience. - **Tech Gadgets:** Innovation possibilities for tech gadget companies to create multifunctional devices that cater to specific consumer demands. - **Smoking Accessories:** Creating innovative smoking accessories that offer convenience and safety features for smokers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Power-Providing LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starcase.md) - [Slick Rechargeable Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-lighter.md) - [Backwards-Compatible Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obsoless-iphone-case.md) - [Smartphone Use Reduction Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burnner.md) - [Self-Cleaning Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcleaning-smartphone-case.md) - [Action Button Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangcase.md) - [Customizable LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-iphone-case.md) - [Pea-Inspired Whimsical Lighter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-lighter.md) - [Breath-Activated Flameless Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch.md)
