I loathe Croc, but yet again I find myself writing about them. The company behind the beastly plastic shoes has released a branded cell phone holder that looks just like the slip on garden/nurse shoes, and in an array of atrocious colours too.
The mobile phone holsters are being released by Crocs Europe where the footwear label is apparently still hot. Germany, the UK, Austria, Finland, France, Italy, Greece and Spain will sell the Crocs o-dial phone cases when they hit stores May 1 for about $15.
The cases are inspired by the Crocs Cayman shoe model and will be offered in a variety of colours like black, silver, red, grape, fuchsia, celery, cotton candy and turquoise.
To top it off, they'll be compatible with the Jibbitz charms so you can customize your silly case to match your goofy shoes.
