Can You Ear Me Now? EARonic iPhone Cases Make Great Stocking Stuffers.

Available in five different styles these fun and hip iPhone cases give the illusion of blending into one's head when using the phone. Photographs of life sized ears and profiles in various styles - males, females, varying skin tones, some with razor stubble, some with earpieces - are printed on durable iPhone cases which fit both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. No Vulcan ears as of yet.




Designed by art student Daniela Gilsanz for CollabCubed, Daniela first came up with the idea of the EARonic iPhone case last fall when applying to art schools. She was getting a portfolio together and while sketching some ears in her sketchbook (one of the prompts from a school) the initial EARonic mockup and portfolio piece came to be. (See below).



Since then, Daniela and CollabCubed improved on the original concept, photographed many an ear, and produced the actual phone cases. At only $20 USD each, they make great stocking stuffers!

Each available style is shown below.

The CardSharp 2 from Iain Sinclair is a cool little functional utility knife that is beautifully incorporated into its package design.

Updated features (from the original Card Sharp) include a stiffer, non-slip armor rubber coated body and unique safety lock (cannot accidentally open when in a pocket or drawer and is child proof).

For only £15 GBP ($25 USD), the Card Sharp2 makes a great and handy gift or stocking stuffer, especially with the option to customize the blade (as shown below):
