The silly season: No Comment on The iBottleopener

by David Winograd Aug 31st 2010 at 11:00AM


Now I've seen everything. To give lie to the meme that there's an app for that, perhaps a new and upcoming meme will be that there's a case for that.

The iBottleopener (US $19.99) is a case for an iPhone 3G or 3GS that has a bottle opener on the back. The video, that you've probably just seen, sets a new standard for cheesy adverts. The tagline of the ad campaign is "a party in your pocket." At least they didn't use "a party in your pants," which shows that the manufacturers do have a modicum of restraint.

I'm sure that The iBottleopener is the perfect back to school gift for any college student. And iPhone 4 owners won't be left out of the party, or the pants for that matter, since a case to fit the newest iPhone is on its way.

For adding a beery note to your iDevice lifestyle, this case deserves a hearty No Comment.

Thanks Zack (I think) for sending this in.

what happens when the bottle opens and the carbonated beverage (beer) splashes all over your phone?

I don't get it... Why does the post title say "No Comment" and then there's a couple paragraphs written about the thing in question? With a title like that, I'd have expected just the video, nothing else.

Why didn't I think of that! They're definitely marketing it to the right demographic, college kids. Someone will make a good deal of money off of this idea.

And what happens when the bottle is under supreme pressure and you open the beer, only for it to soak your iPhone and void any warranty. BAD IDEA!

I'm worried about it snagging your pocket, or something else with that metal piece sticking out, and the stress on the back of the phone after a lot of use.

What college student can afford the kind of beer that comes in bottles without a twist-off top?
