The sushi bento iPhone case really makes one prematurely hungry, so imagine what it would be like to clip one of these delectable lunchboxes onto your iPhone for the long run. For sushi fans, this is a dangerous item.

[Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-app) shop iCaseSeraSera handcrafted the sushi bento iPhone case based on its own photos and drawings. The vibrant colors of the bento illustrate realistically fresh nigiri sushi and maki rolls, making one's stomach grumble ferociously. The snap-on hard case's design creates the illusion of a 3D design but is actually a printing technique used by iCaseSeraSera in their home studio. Designed for [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept), 4S and 5 models, the Japanese bento is printed on a black, white or clear case unless otherwise requested.
