Edible iPhone case you probably don’t need

A Japanese company has started selling edible iPhone cases.

The Survival Senbei edible iPhone 5 case is made out of a crispy golden-brown senbei rice cracker, which is moulded to the shape of Apple’s smartphone.

The Japanese artist, Mariko, came up with the idea by trying to get the senbei rice cracker snack – which is associated with the older generation – to appeal to a younger crowd.

The cases cost 3,818 yen (R420), but delivery could take up to a month, as Mariko explains: “I can make about three good ones a day.”

Customers are also warned that the Survival Senbei case is incredibly fragile and should be handled with the utmost care.
