    Default Edible iPhone Case.. Lol

    Found this pretty funny.
    Senebi, has created a iPhone case, made out of brown rice and salt.
    It costs $81, and as quooted: "is literally part food, part phone case ... and great in an emergency when you are desperate for a snack" LOL
    Also.. its sold out... -_-

    Yes, critics of the sometimes disposable nature of today's tech world, it's come to this. You can now eat your iPhone case.

    The price of a crunchy treat that also (theoretically) protects your most precious of mobile gadgets? $81.

    Made from brown rice and salt, the Survival Senbei Rice Cracker iPhone 5 Case "is literally part food, part phone case ... and great in an emergency when you are desperate for a snack."

    Oh, and about that theoretical protection: "Please be aware that due to its delicate nature, this case may become broken in the delivery or dispatch process," according to Japan Trend Shop, a site selling the case in the U.S.

    Which raises the obvious question: Are these people serious? The answer: not really.

    The site describes the cover, which is handmade and takes a month to deliver, as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on Japanese obsessions with food and consumer technology.

    Its name also plays off of pop culture's recent fascination with post-apocalyptic tales like "Revolution" and "The Walking Dead." It may not save you from zombies, but at least you wouldn't starve while you were hiding from them. (And, yes, the Japanese share that fascination. Three words: zombie-themed restaurant).

    So, funny joke ... but would anybody actually pay for one?

    Apparently so. As of Thursday, the site listed the cases as being sold out.

    dafuq? I can't begin to understand how these people get these ideas. It's not innovative, it's utterly pointless.

    I have to admit, if I thought of that I'd have made it too. They get paid 81$ to mail you a possibly already broken rice cracker. It's pretty genius.

    Probably not, especially if the extra mass of the iPhone was on top.

    I think, that the cases made up of Rice or whatever are a bit costly. $81 matters.....

    But I think it is a nice try to replace plastic or polymer based Cases, as it is harmful to our environment.
    BTW, if someone is looking for some cheap iPhone 5 Cases, then go here

    Although iPhone cases use up a tiny amount of petroleum compared to driving a car places.

    Although I don't see why people need cases for their phones at all.

    Why not just buy 50+ pounds of brown rice with 81$?
    I don't understand the world anymore.

    My dad had one come out of his pocket on a roller coaster. After they found it a few days later and mailed it to him, it still worked. Those phones are bricks. If there are two things that will survive the apocalypse its cockroaches and Nokia phones.

    They look really ugly and a regular ricecracker would probably cost around ~$1
