Put your cellphone into a case shaped like a much larger cellphone for some reason

Put your cellphone into a case shaped like a much larger cellphone for some reason

This may look like a huge old cellphone from the 1980s, but it's actually just shaped like one. It's really a cellphone holder. Oh, uh, OK.

I'm not quite sure what the benefit is of carrying your phone around in a larger phone. I guess it's protected if you drop it, and it's a fun, ironic gag. But I don't know how many people would be willing to put up with the inconvenience of something that large just for a visual joke.

Would go good with an 80's costume. Possibly as Crocket or Tubbs from Miami Vice, and you wouldn't lose your phone.

I don't remember seeing Cell Phones in Miami Vice. But you could use this to enhance a good Zack Morris costume.
