Severed child's hand iPhone accessory

Dokkiri Hand Case for iPhone 4 [Strapya World via Dangerous Minds]

• [irksome]

  Is the lotion included?

  • [awjt]

    Irksome, I like you.

• [chellberty]

  lolWut?

• [JProffitt71]

  What? Why!?

• [KBert]

  Unfortunately…
  *Some hand may vary in size and shape since each hand is made individually.
  *There is no hole for the camera. Please remove the case when taking pictures.
  Deal-breaker for me :(

• [Joe The Wizard]

  Makes me wish I had an iPhone.

• [dr_awkward]

  What? No camera-hole?  It clearly shows one in the picture.  I’m confused.

  Welcome to the phonecanny valley, folks…

• [Hamish Grant]

  this is one of those “what that…I don’t even…” -type products, isn’t it.

• [Marktech]

  Now, if the severed hand had still been clutching the phone, you could have made up a very credible backstory.

  • [irksome]

    Credible backstory: “This is what happens when you cut me off on my motorcycle as you exit the Piggly Wiggly while calling your bff to tell her that you just bought the 5-gallon tub of Chunky Monkey and are on your way home to eat it while watching the Oxygen channel before you cry yourself to sleep AGAIN.”

• [Rob Cruickshank]

  There’s a Palm OS joke to be made here, but I just can’t think of one. 

• [Evan Kelley]

  Well, sexting just got awkward.

• [xenphilos]

  Handshake controller?

• [Sam Ley]

  This is really stretching the definition of “accessory”…

• [Sharon]

  I don’t get it.

• [Rhi]

  it’s scary!

• [cha0tic]

  Paedophile wanking aid?

• [Brent Kirkham]

  Ah! Japanese. Now I understand.  Common appliance used for uncommon masturbatory fantasies.  Sheesh.

• [dagfooyo]

  My main complaint upon purchasing my iphone was that it didn’t come with a severed hand on the back.  Solved!

• [fnarf]

  How is this a “case”?

• [robuluz]

  OZ!

• [smallteam]

  At the price of $64.20 USD, you’d need to be wealthy — or REALLY into infant hands — to buy this one!

• [cha0tic]

  Dreamboard Merchandise?http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/aug/03/child-abuse-website-multiple-arrests

  Isn’t there a CSI episode with a fake hand taken from a life cast that’s used to incriminate someone else/disguise a murder?

  It’s a Murderers Friend?

• [agonist]

  Perhaps this is the potential beginnings of a new meme. Attach an impractical object to an iPhone and call it a case. Affix it to a salmon and you have the Salmon iPhone! Glue it to a sponge and you have the iPhone safety cushion! And so on and so forth.

  • [cha0tic]

    You might be on to something there. Is there a vibrate function on an iPhone? Glue a rubber Penis to an iPhone…

    • [Trent Baker]

      Yes, I’ve heard that there is a vibrate app that, well does exactly that for as long as you want. Now here is the hand attachment just so you can stop being subtle about it.

• [jennybean42]

  That’s Handy

• [Rayonic]

  Perhaps it’s a commentary on child labor in the third world? You could tell people that a child lost his hand in the iPhone case making machine.

• [Petzl]

  I Can Haz Hand?

• [Diamond John Barber]

  No end of “Is that my phone? Could you hand it to me?” laughs

• [Soopermexican]

  If it were a black hand making the BLACK POWER fist, maaaaybe. Otherwise, this is creepy.

• [Rob Cruickshank]

  The same day this was posted, I saw this on Deal Extreme:

  “It looks like a normal mini hand but it is not”
  http://www.dealextreme.com/p/shock-your-friend-shocking-mini-hand-color-assorted-43160

  No end of fun with that one. “Hey, check out this mini-hand!”

  • [DewiMorgan]

    The most delightful part of the abnormal mini-hand is the comment by someone who had to whip out a soldering iron to repair the thing when it arrived, and called that “understandable” :P

  “dokkiri”:”Recently popularized in the west by shows such as Punk’d, these hidden-camera surprise pranks have been very common on Japanese television since the 90′s. Traps such as pitfalls, falling objects, and seductive idols are often used.”

  I still don’t get it :)
