WATCH: Cute smartphone trends
Smartphones are now an essential part of our lives, and since almost everyone has one, naturally there's also a vast range of accessories, both functional and decorative. Japanese designers are especially inventive - smartphone cases might have flip-out make-up mirrors, or resemble furry dolls. A big focus is cuteness, and a major hit just now is a series of sweet animal shapes that protect the ends of charging cables, looking just as if they are biting your phone.
