There are plenty of poorly conceived iPhone cases out there, but it's rare that you see a company really knock it out of the park with a bad design only to follow it up with an even worse one. Moschino, an Italian luxury firm that dreams up all manner of absurd fashion accessories, has really Barbie'd out its iPhone offerings and dreamt up a pair of absolutely unusable iPhone shells.
The first is modeled after a Barbie toy mirror that apparently holds such nostalgia for some that they're willing to make their smartphone about a hundred times more cumbersome in order to relive it. It's big, awkward, and weird. Kind of like a lobster.
The second case doesn't sound too bad on paper -- it's a case designed to look like one of Barbie's old toy phones -- but in practice it's pretty much abysmal. Ignoring the massive size, thick rubber sides, and the nearly impossible-to-reach lock button, the case is laid out such that you'll actually be talking into the back of the Barbie phone while you're speaking on your real one. If that's not a recipe for being mocked in public, I don't know what is.
