The End

This accessory has certainly tapped in to a sense least likely to have anything to do with a cell phone. Smartphones are expected to appeal to our sense of hearing, sight and touch, who would have thought that they could spark our sense of smell? Frankly, I can’t wait until we can eat something.

While some critics may think this is a terrible concept, there are quite a few open-minded individuals that have discovered a Jelly Belly case and love it. The case does a terrific job in protecting your iPhone and gives you full accessibility to use all the functions and controls of the phone, all without the inconvenience of having to remove the case. It also doesn’t add much bulk or unwanted weight. It’s a fine case with the added perks of the jellybean flavored scents and the drama surrounding its concept. It makes a great gift or ‘sweet’ conversation piece to impress friends.
