# Bricked Smartphone Covers The iPhone Brick Case is Designed Squishy and Sturdy By Michael Hines | Published 2011-12-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iphone-brick-case References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/12/14/iphone-brick-protective-case/) & [mobile.brando](http://mobile.brando.com/iphone-4s-4-brick-protective-case_p07374c1111d004.html) [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage) lovers are definitely going to want to check out the iPhone Brick case. The iPhone Brick case is a squishy protective covering designed for the [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept) and iPhone 4S. LEGO cases have been created for the iPhone before, but none have ever been as soft or as colorful as this one. The iPhone Brick case unfortunately cannot acquire new pieces as it is made from plastic and its pegs are oversized. It does however come with [two removable bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fans) that can be used in a variety of ways such as keeping your camera lens safely covered and your headphones organized. The lack of small parts (no extra bricks to add on) means that this case does not present a choking hazard for tech-savvy tots. The case is also not a wallet hazard as it is priced at a very reasonable $10. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Squishy Phone Cases:** Opportunity for phone accessory companies to explore creating more soft and durable phone cases. - **Lego-inspired Products:** A chance for companies to create more products inspired by the popular building block toy. - **Child-friendly Phone Cases:** Opportunity for phone accessory companies to explore creating cases that are safe for children to use. ### Where This Applies - **Phone Accessories:** Companies that produce phone accessories can explore creating more innovative and durable phone cases. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Lego and other toy manufacturers can create more products inspired by the popular building block toy. - **Childcare Products:** Companies specializing in childcare products can explore creating more child-friendly phone cases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Computer-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-c1.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) - [Kevlar Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugged-iphone-case.md) - [Playful Custom Tech Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charm-phone-case.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Functional Protective Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-cases.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [Premium Protective Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dbrand-tank-case.md)
