Cell phone costume covers, the new craze
Since yesterday's post on Vodafone Japan's fanciful costume covers (forms and shapes include a bull and cheese!), I've come across two articles today on how successful these new covers are in Korea and India.
One article is from delightful Telecoms Korea, mentioning how two companies presenting covers at the Expo Comm Wireless Korea held in Seoul, attracted attention:
-- Tucen displayed one-tone and two-tone coloring, gradation coloring and real image printing for 5,000 won to 40,000 won ($5 to $40). Picture left.
-- Cozip introduced PhoneZiggy cases for popular models from Samsung, LG and Motorola not only protect cell phones from damages but also provide them with different colors and beautiful designs. Click here to view.
The second article is from newindpress.com, reporting that "fancy and colourful panels seem to be the order of the day and are selling like hot cakes at mobile phone servicing centres and on roadsides.
Cartoon characters, space animals, dizzy designs and 3D images are the concepts, which lately are dominating the mobile panel market."
