This isn’t the only way to recreate the feeling of talking on an old clunky landline handset with your iPhone, but this overpriced £30 creation from hipster factory Urban Outfitters is certainly the most ridiculous.
The Mofone case is quite literally just an old landline handset attached to an iPhone case. Once your iPhone is inserted you still have to hold it up to your head to make calls — there’s no Bluetooth or even corded functionality here. The only difference is that you now have something more substantial to hold onto.
The cases were originally sold as unique one-off creations, but now that you can buy them en masse from Urban Outfitters for £30 in the States, I feel they’ve lost what little novelty or originality they once had. And whereas I would have probably just rolled my eyes had I seen someone using one in public, I now suspect I’ll be filled with rage at their forced attempt to look hip.

Looks like something from Regretsy.
I think it’s good that companies are putting out more obvious idiot detection methods, it gives us more clues as to who to avoid social contact with.
Note that they only make iPhone models, not ones for any other phone. That’s called knowing your target market.
Im not gonna bite
Any chance for Apple-mud-slinging eh?
As a dumb isheep idot iPhone user I’d like to know who the frick is buying this crap… I know alot of iPhone users and NONE of them would use anything like this.. most don’t use cases at all..(some should though)…
I wonder if she’s old enough to have ever used a rotary phone…
