Crocs Phone is Uncalled For

Mar 04, 2008 @ 12:22pm

What's worse than the pun in this title?

The fact that Crocs has released their own phone accessory.

It's called the Croc-o-Dial (seriously!) and it's designed to protect your phone from getting knocked around and breaking.

The case will retail for about $30 and also has a flat-backed panel to hold credit cards, drivers licenses, and notes of apology for buying anything connected to Crocs.

Fortunately, it's only available in Europe...

For now.

I can't stand crocs but this is so cute in a Hello Kitty sort of way. It's like the perfect elementary school accessory.

Can't you just imagine it riding around in the cupholder of a Dodge Caravan next to a box of Kleenex?

yeah it serves better as an accessory for kids than shoes for kids or any adults.

Now even your phone can look like it belongs in a playmobile set. Glorious.

This is slighly scary. And I was hoping the trend had past.

I still laugh to think about the time I questioned my friend on her shoe choice (purple crocs) and she replied saying that they're "in style now"......

That is potentially the most horrible thing I have ever seen.

Oh wow, that's AWESOME! Wasn't it Susan Sontag who once wrote an essay on how bad taste can get to the point where it's SO BAD that it actually becomes good? Well, looks like we've found the mothership.

and proper crocs are cute on little kids.

i don't know which is worse -- crocs for your feet or crocs for your phone! i'd freak if i ever saw someone wearing crocs and have a croc-o-what's its name hanging on their belts!

On the other hand, I sort of wish my current (case-less) cell phone had a metro card slot attached!
