Only in Japan! Hand-y iPhone 4 case goes on sale!

We’ve covered some pretty weird iPhone 4 cases in the past. You may remember the Apple gadget cover which was disguise as a dish of sushi? Some very strange accessories can be found Only in Japan – but this detached hand iPhone protector could quite easily be the strangest we’ve seen yet!

 

The handy gadget case is eerily life-like and comes in two ‘sizes’ – “Lady” and perhaps most disturbing is a Child-sized version of the fake appendage with miniature realistic digits for fingers. You can even flip it over and use it as a dish for your Glico candies (as endorsed by digital diva Amie Eguchi) or perhaps a very very bizarre candle holder? We sure hope it doesn’t melt..

It’s truly a frightening sight and those self-loving Japanese have even made the hand outwardly facing so that the phone user can reproduce the experience of holding someone’s hand when you have no body (Get it? No body. Never mind then.)

Combine this with the Sense-Roid hugging robot and you won’t miss all those friends you lost when you first whipped out your fake hand iPhone case!

The hands are up for grabs now from rakuten.co.jp but sadly we can’t translate to give you the price, and frankly – we won’t be needing it..

Last week’s Only in Japan! featured the ultra-cool “air-con” shoes, perfect for that 120% Japanese humidity! Check out the story – here.
