MoPods

Panda

We've seen some weird and wonderful cell phone accessories in our time but MoPods really take the cake. Why? Well for starters these funky little wearable characters live in transparent domes. But more importantly, they spin and flash when your cell receives a call or text.

Yes, we know it sounds a little silly but MoPods aren't half as dumb as those Bluetooth headsets favored by morons wearing khaki pants. And if you hate missing calls, MoPods are infinitely more imaginative than a deafening 'I'm so wacky!' comedy ringtone. (Which includes Weird Al songs, the theme from Benny Hill and the music from Austin Powers. Yawn).

MoPods

Attach it to your phone!

The idea is to wear your MoPod as a kind of charm on bags, belts, clothing, key rings, or even the phone itself. MoPods are destined to become must-have cell accessories amongst fashion-conscious phone fans everywhere. In fact, our good friends in Japan (always first with the coolest peripherals) have already gone completely MoPod mental.

It goes without saying that MoPods come in handy if you're in a noisy bar or you like to crank up the music in your car, but they also make great desktop/work companions - especially if your phone is in silent mode. Having said that, we can't be held responsible for the consequences of wearing a flashing, spinning panda in a board meeting.
More than anything, MoPods are impossibly cute companions that are also extremely practical - and you can't say that about your average collectable thingamabob.

At under ten bucks each, these dome-dwelling critters are sure to fly off the shelves in record time. In fact, we feel a craze coming on. So get ordering or you'll end up miserable and MoPod-less. They're for you-hoo!

visitor avatar Bought this for my Mum so she can see her phone is ringing in the noisy amusement arcades. Works out a treat and ended up ordering 4 more for her friends!
Kevin, Norwich - May '07
visitor avatar Bought this as a gift for my partner.... who is appalling at replying to text messages.... No excuse now! He has the mopod on his desk away from his phone. It's very reliable when there's a text or call and starts going crazy moments before the text arrives. It always grabs my attention!
Stephanie, Hampshire - Apr '07
visitor avatar I love mopods, they're flashy things that make your phone look dudey, and they alert you for calls, double whammy!
Bryn R, Oldham - Mar '07
visitor avatar I ordered 2 of these, a Monster for myself and a Penguin for my friend. These things are truly amazing they make the perfect gift for someone of any age, the delivery time was good too as it only took 2 days.
Hayden Martin, Heckmondwike, West Yorks - Nov '07
visitor avatar Waaaaaaaaaaahhh! My Auntie bought me one for Christmas and I broke it!! I think I knocked it round too much at school... But if I shake it, it still flashes lol. I love mobile dangly things!! I'm a sucker for the machines in supermarkets too....

visitor avatar My friend has got the penguin one, and I saw it a couple of days ago. I want one now! It's so cool.
Bethan, Nottingham - Mar '07
visitor avatar I bought myself a monkey and received it today. Both me and Mum love it and I will be buying one for her and my boyfriend too! Delivery was incredibly quick and the sweets were a nice surprise.

visitor avatar Will these work with a blackberry storm 9500 on the vodafone network?

visitor avatar Have bought Mopod Monkeys as Christmas presents, the cutest things ever & efficient to boot !
Catherine Harris, Wales - Dec '07
visitor avatar So glad I got one of these. It's ace. I am a bit gutted that, after using it for a few months, my little monkey guy has fallen off his stick and I can't figure out how to get him back on it, but that's probably due more to me chucking my phone in my bag and it getting batted about than any manufacturing thing. Regardless of that, it's an ace little piece of kit and definitely gets your attention. Being a sucker for dangly things all I need to do now is find the Spinning Hat Lucky Charmers on here too -- they are ACE *hint hint*!! ;).
