About once a week (give or take) we like to have a little fun and talk about Android the most Internet way possible: through a shameless listicle of GIFs and memes.
Step away from the selfie stick.
It’s tempting to go crazy buying accessories for your new smartphone. I mean, who doesn’t need a Lumee selfie flash phone case?
But just because something exists does not mean you should buy it. Here are 10 ridiculous smartphone accessories you absolutely do not need.
A selfie stick
You think you look stupid taking a selfie? Well, you look about a hundred times stupider taking a selfie with a selfie stick.
A belfie stick
A selfie stick, but for your butt! Need I say more?
A telephoto lens attachment
Don’t get me wrong—lens attachments, like those made by Olloclip, can definitely improve your smartphone photography game. But a smartphone camera can’t replace your DSLR, and this telephoto lens clip just looks stupid.
A hamburger headphone jack screen cleaning charm
Keeping your screen clean is a priority—I get that. But this impressively large 6.5-inch chain of plush hamburgers is not exactly the most stylish way to keep your screen fingerprint-free.
A smartphone-controlled LED dog vest
I have two small dogs, so I can appreciate how difficult it is to keep people from stepping on them in the dark. A glow-in-the-dark collar, or even a harness with a couple of flashing LEDs, makes sense. But a $300 smartphone-controlled vest that flashes colors and text across your dog’s back seems like overkill. Or is that just me?
A breathalyzer
Do you need a breathalyzer attached to your smartphone? Or do you need to reconsider your drinking habits?
A phone headband
I want to believe it’s a joke, but this incredibly cool-looking headband that straps your phone to your ear is available for purchase…
A retro phone handset
You know what’s even more comfortable than a retro phone handset that plugs into your smartphone’s headphone jack? Headphones. Which also plug into your phone’s headphone jack.
A phone thong
This supposedly protects your phone’s home button.
A gun-shaped phone case
When you put this phone case in your pocket, it looks like you’re carrying a handgun. What could possibly go wrong?!
