Mobile phone socks pull up in UK

mocksockblack.jpg mocksockgirl.jpg moscksockwhite.jpg The Register writes about phone socks, gaining in popularity amongst mobile phone owners concerned about scratching their handsets.

"Australian operation LaRoo has begun selling its Mocks mobile phone socks in the UK, having inked a sales deal with handset retail giant Carphone Warehouse. TopShop on London's Oxford Street has them too.

Mocks, like iPod Socks, are colourfully knitted slip cases. Where Apple's versions are available only in the rainbow hues chosen for the original Apple logo, Mocks are available in a range of 30-odd picture designs.

Also very cool, the Mocks website offers the option to order your socks by SMS. If you live in Australia that is.
