"Simply slip your phone into the Phone Thong to hold it at your side. The adjustable strap fits around your hips, or can be slung over your shoulder. The clasp on the strap can be moved to adjust the strap length to your hip size, or to your preferred length when worn around your shoulders."



Oh my, a thong for your phone. 8O

I saw these in the stores early last year. They didn't sell then and they aren' t gonna sell now. They are ugly and stoopid.

Looks more like a chastity belt! :lol:

You know, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. It's just the name and design that doesn't work. The adjustable strap for shoulder or waist is a great idea for women. It's the "thong" thing that I think will prevent this from being a big success.

The people making these cases are trying to capitalize on the Thong popularity (today thongs are popular in both men and women, both me and my housband use them).

But unfortunately thongs have nothing to do with phones, they are just giving their product a bad name. It would sell better if they called it the slim phone case or something like that.

Besides the case does not resemble a thong,

I'm with Ed, this is such a scary message, the pleasing half of the image just can't make up for the scary part.

And Mike, you're right - if it wasn't named a thong (i.e. Phone Grip or Phone Sling) it would do a lot better!

Well - did it cross your mind that is a little too much detailed information that we here would rather not hear about?

Actually, I found out some "thong" facts the hard way. Most of us down under see the thong as something you slip on the foot. Over there, a lot of you see the thong as... well, let's not go there. In a nutshell, I've got no real problems with the use of the word "thong" in a product name, but I'm sure 99% of you would beg to differ.
