Gadget turns iPhone into 80s 'brick'
A British company are selling an accessory that makes a sleek iPhone look like a 1980s 'brick'.
Manufacturers Thumbs Up reckons there will be a strong demand for its nostalgic iPhone holder.
A company spokesman said: "By today's standards, you'd be forgiven for mistaking a 1980s mobile phone for, well, a house brick, but back in the day these chunky must-haves were the ultimate status symbol.
"We've come along way in terms of streamlined modernity and fancy features since then, but the 80s mobile remains a design icon in its own right. And with this funky phone case, you can get the best of both worlds.
"Simply slot your iPhone into the custom-made holder and capture the look and feel of the 1980s 'house brick' without losing any of your 21st-century specs!"
Thumbs Up will start selling the £12.99 plastic iPhone addition from March.
that completely redefines the term 'I just bricked my IPhone'
