Urban McHugly Carries Your iPhone in Buggy Beauty
Tisah Tucknott — July 21, 2009 — Tech
Urban McHugly is an unusual critter crony for your iPhone. The critter-like holder not only looks like a cute stuffed animal, but it also exudes style as it is covered in Swarovski crystals.
The miniature friend for your phone lets you know that your iPhone is ringing by lighting up its LED Swarovski crystal eyes.
Implications - Cell-phones have become more than a communication tool in today's society. In fact, as smartphones take on more and more functions, they are increasingly becoming an extension of people's personalities and a core aspect of their daily lives. As this trend continues to become more common, products which enhance or facilitate that unique connection will become increasingly popular.
