Top 5 Awkward iPhone 5 Cases

Gadgets are never true gadgets unless they come with the flashiest accessories to signal their presence. Take, for instance, the following five iPhone cases that no sane person would ever use to cover his or her smartphone with.
The PowerFlask

Although there are many accessories that users can resort to in order to prolong the battery life of their smartphones, some ingenious manufacturers thought a PowerFlask was just what was missing from the equation. As the name says it, the PowerFlask is a separated device that has the shape of a flask and may be connected to the phone to recharge it.

The Booty Call

Apple made a huge mistake assuming their buyers were geeks. What their public really wants, judging by the Booty Call iPhone case is to press a round pair of buttocks against their cheeks every time they make a phone call. We should not jump into conclusions, though; much like in real life, the flesh-colored case does a great job as airbag protection.

The Hand Case

The name of this iPhone case could mistakenly lead you into comparing it to some creepy character from the Adams family or the like. Well, me at least.

This accessory is as useful as a bucket of water in the ocean or as a pile of sand in the desert and as creative as… me on a Friday evening. There are tons of keyboard apps for iPhone and iPad devices and yet, some Apple buyers prefer to carry a battery consuming cube so they could project a Star Trek-like keyboard on their desks. Nobody can tell whether the cube functions because a laser ray coming from the dark side fried their brains.

The Romo Smartphone Robot

Romo’s origin has not been unveiled, but there’s something about it that makes us assume it is a Japanese invention. I was about to say the robot doesn’t do much, but then I realized there are plenty of pranks you can play on someone with this gadget. Just think about it: it only takes a smartphone (actually two smartphones, because Romo is a smartphone, too. Weird, I know, but that’s just how engineering is) to get the robot to scary girls and even film their underwear during classes. And a world of unlimited revenges against teachers/parents/bosses/you name it unveils…
