For many cellphones, you can get plastic "skins" that have variuous designs and colors.. Boring!..
I'd like to see slip-over flexible plastic covers to resemble various bugs and critters. Imagine a 5" long cockroach hanging off your belt, or on the side of your head!..
Bugs, small furry animals, babelfish, lobsters, anything. It would best if it could hang on to the user's ear / head with it's own appendages.
Even the face of the phone could be covered by a thin printed nylon mesh to form the critter's "belly".. With appropriate ringtones, it could even make ringing sounds to match it's design.-- FooToo, Aug 21 2002 (?) *Very* Half Baked http://www.sunny-to...one/dianhua/sn9.htm [DrCurry, Aug 21 2002] (?) Lobster telephones are famously Baked http://www.stats.br.../sculpt/lobster.htmApparently Dali came up with the idea after fooling around avec ses amis using real lobsters as make-believe phones. [DrCurry, Aug 21 2002] (?) As are furry animal cell phone covers http://cellbaby.com/Somewhat nearer to the core of your idea, I believe.
