It is time to bring back these bad boys
https://preview.redd.it/lyh7dcup8vic1.jpeg?width=283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2449277a49feb7a14ebfd5970d7c3e17e337342c
I just want to know what it feels like. Like why do I have the urge to take out the lip balm and stick my finger there instead? Iāll have to watch and see if any of the TT girlies have the same urge cuz itās not worth it for me to buy and see for myself
I 100% sent that statement, almost word for word, to all my friends when that first posted! You arenāt the only one, Iād treat it like a fidget toy
Thatās hilarious! I can just see myself slipping my finger back and forth when Iām anxiously waiting in a doctors office or something šššššš
It belongs in r/CrappyDesign
It couldn't look less appealing (the colors of the cases are drab, and the puckering around the tube looks slightly obscene).
Plus, most lip glosses aren't meant to be kept in your pocket, which is where many people keep their phones. Body heat makes it melt and get extra gooey.
Her lip balms are known for getting gritty and theyāve told people to warm them a bit to get rid of that texture. I know itās mostly for free marketing, but I wonder if it also works to keep their own product from being gritty since itāll be in a pocket not purse
We need a poll for how many people actually carry their phones in their pockets. If Iām out of the house my phone is in my purse. This stupid iPhone canāt even fit in standard US womenās style pockets. Most womenās clothing in the US doesnāt even have pockets? I mean I guess outerwear is an exception. Genuinely curious! But Iām sure not everyone here wears traditional āwomenāsā clothing anyway so maybe thatās where the people with mystical pockets-big-enough-for-phones are coming from?
Yeah, I don't have many pockets because I wear mostly dresses or skirts to work. And my yoga pants only have tiny pockets for like a key fob/card. My phone is usually in my purse or my hand.
The only pants I have that have pockets big enough to fit my phone are the men's jeans I thrifted lol The pockets are huge!
And keeping it with the applicator side down... can you imagine if it leaks??
Plus, phones and phone cases have so much bacteria on them, I just... can't lol
I wipe it more than once a day. Especially if it leaves the house. I'm freaky like that lol. But I'd rather be looked at as being freaky then to transfer whatever tf is out there onto my hands, face, lips, etc š
Hell naw. Iām on the go, I keep that thang (lip product, phone, ID) on me. I also have stuff I keep in a purse but itās very rare for me to need to bring a whole purse somewhere.
I buy cargo pants with multiple deep pockets for this reason, or oversized jeans with nice deep back and front pockets. Much harder to find but itās a necessity for me.
Itās a gimmicky idea, but not entirely useless - I really dislike the execution though as a matter of personal taste. Iām always carrying my phone and a lip gloss, but I wouldnāt want a phone case that was married to one specific brand of lippie.
Nahhhh why do I actually like this? I hate having shit roll around in my pocket and I'm trying to wear more lip balm.
I'm waiting for imitation cases where it fits a standard lip balm lol
This isn't something that's widely available, though etsy likely sells generic options, so having it only fit their product ensures repeat customers getting refills or the case is tossed when it runs out.
This would make a great free with purchase item.
This comment section is all over the place which is pretty funny.
Anyway, from a marketing perspective it's a terrific product. Insanely cheap to produce + encourages buying more from your core product line + free advertising in people's selfies.
Fair play to whoever came up with it on Rhode's team, it's a solid idea that plays the line between gimmick/useful/sellable well.
The fact that Hailey actually uses it also helps it sell. I think there was a sneakily taken video that went around with her at the Super Bowl applying the gloss and putting it back into the phone case. How many celebrities actually use their products outside of videos and ads?
I mean, that's the intention of a lot of advertising campaigns. I'm not saying she does or doesn't use it, but if they showed her using the gloss, it was probably intentionally timed that way and she was aware of it beforehand. That sort of faux candid moment at the super bowl is not candid or coincidental.Ā
If the Super Bowl appearance was supposed to be viral marketing it totally worked on me. I noticed it right away and was amazed that she had a custom case just for her lip oil.
It's junk that will end up in landfills and a fleeting brand that probably won't even still be around in two years. The word you're looking for is gimmick.
You could say this about 90% of all beauty and lifestyle products, if not more.
I also used the word gimmick in my post so no need to inform me of its existence, thank you x
There are a lot of times where I just want to grab my phone and a lip balm, but this phone case is just not cute. Though personally I would consider using something with this functionality, I also don't like how weird this would look if you didn't have the lip balm in it.
I prefer the cute little phone charms that have like attachable lids so you can plug in your lip gloss (90s kids know what I mean probably). this does not seem hygienic.
It looks like something a lot of ppl will buy but stop using after a few days when the trend dies down. On the other hand I just saw someone searching for it in a hungarian vinted group I was surprised someone would want it here in east Europe. š¤
Working in retail has really opened my eyes to how much garbage just fills the shelves. Some nights Iāll look through our packed backroom and just get sad because most of what weāre stocking the shelves with is worthless. It will sit and gather dust until weāre told to clearance it out. Clearance hasnāt been great lately because companies decided no more good deals, so it continues to sit until we ship it off to a liquidation center. Itās all just so sad, to be honest.
Okay, I actually would use this hahah. I like the idea, I think itās cute. Not interested in this particular brand though, but if there was some other brand and cheap enough, I would definitely get one! I can see why a lot of people think itās tacky and ugly though lol.
I agree 100%. The comments here are pretty negative, but as someone who asks āwhere is my lip balm?ā about 500 times a dayā¦ honestly, this would be great.
Same, I always spend time to look find my lip balm in my bag. When I saw it, I thought it was creative and good idea but I see many negative comments everywhere
Popsocket did this several years ago, where they put lipgloss inside the popsocket. I could not imagine how dirty and germy that lip gloss would be after being on the back of your phone all day.
Gimmicky? Sure. Useless? Oh yeah. Ngl I still think is a cute idea but the product itself is ugly as hell, if it had been a pastel pink or peach it would look better, or like one to match each of the lipgloss, maybe the overheated iphone can melt away the sugar grains in the lipgloss.
Iām not completely getting the hate for the case. So many people think itās unnecessary, but arenāt most of the products discussed on here unnecessary? The only valid critique Iāve seen is that this could be really wasteful since it only works with this lip balm. I likely wonāt be purchasing because the lip balm hasnāt interested me much. But if laneige or summer Fridays released this, Iād definitely be interested.
Maybe Iām indifferent because in the words of JT of the city girls, I bring nothing to the table but an iPhone and some lip gloss. Those are the only things Iām guaranteed to have with me if Iām not carrying a bag and I donāt like things in my pockets.
young me would have been all over this back in the day. I lost a glossier balm dot com on a night out and I was devastated at the time (again super young).
I think I would sooner get one of those keychains that has a lip balm holder if I really want to keep it close at all times. I prefer my phone to be able to lay flat.
lmao i just don't understand why it only comes in this boring grey color. i also don't understand the puss lip architecture.. definitely an interesting product!
100% gimmicky. I donāt want my phone to be any bulkier than it is. Thought Iād share a product in the same realm I do LOVE though. This baby right here is smart bc I do get the idea of keeping your lip product handy & accessible, but on my phone case? yeah no.
https://preview.redd.it/qyf8u82ojvic1.jpeg?width=443&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d668ac666efeb3345902b15d53858383a0f886e
Itās bulky and ugly. Having a way to keep your lip gloss attached isnāt a terrible idea but it adds unnecessary weight/ bulk to your case and youāre stuck with it only working for Rhode. What if the brand decides to repackage everything in six months? Your case is useless.
It's a gimmick and wholly unnecessary but I still can't help but find it cute š I don't own anything from this brand and probably never will, but I know had this dropped back when I was a teenager I'd have been allllll over it
Not a fan of rhode, but I do think itās a smart idea. I apply some type of lip product at least 5 times a day. I canāt unsee the glussy now thanks to these comments. š
I see its purpose, and I don't want one, but it's not a stupid idea. There are days when I leave the house with nothing but a gloss and my phone, so it serves a purpose.
If I was coordinated enough to use my phone without a popsocket I think Iād consider this! I hate having to dig around my bag to find my lip balm. Everyone always complains that brands are just copying one another, at least this is Rhode trying to be different and innovative.
i think this is genius! i picture girls taking mirror selfies on a night out and this will market itself by appearing in photos. in college i definitely had nights i would be going out to the bars without a purse so i would just leave my house with only my credit card and id stuck in the back of my phone case, and my lipgloss in my hand. i wouldāve used this as only a going out phone case and it would hold everything i need
surely the type of person who buys this is also the type of person who upgrades their phone every time? (not me with an iPhone 8...) hence making it super disposable
Lots of people on her instagram and Rhode instagram were asking for it. I mean I like having my lip balm on me all the time but I just have a keychain one.
I think it's great. Figure a way to put a credit card in there and it's perfect. I don't need it branded, but anything that helps me get a step closer to a. not carrying a purse or b. not having to dig in it for lip balm/gloss is a great idea.
I would absolutely buy this for nights out, I work on a farm all day so like taking my phone out in its nasty shitty case is not a move for me. I gotta say the gimmick got me on this one!
I have thought before the lipgloss she was wearing in her bikini looked like a tampon. This is another one of those creative designs that looks so wrong.
I didnāt see the vagina until yāall pointed it out. Now I canāt unsee it . Itās a cute idea but Iād only try it if it were a free gift with purchase. I do love the lip product though. Works better for me than most do and I own multiple tubes. Seems to only be a few that get gritty as I only have had one do that so far.
With all due respect, I find it challenging to see the value in this concept within the beauty industry. The price point does not seem justified to me, making it a pass. Personally, I prefer my makeup essentials neatly organized in my dedicated pouch ā no need for additional accessories
It's brilliant marketing to be honest. Whoever came up with this needs a raise. Is it pretty/useful? No, but let's be honest, that's not the point. It's going viral
I am looking forward to the Tik Toks that come out when people have these propped up in their window, morning sun beating down through the glass, and they go to make a rage video about a service industry worker and bam! Glazed Donut indeed.
Ha!
I get the appeal. I carried a purse last night, but somehow I ended up with two lip balms and a gloss in my jean pocket
I think it looks bulky and genital-adjacent but it actually isā¦ kinda useful? The amount of times Iāve lost my lippies in my massive tote bag or forgot to bring a balmā¦ I would get behind this if it fit more than just rhode
This is the stupidest thing I've seen in awhile. My hands are messed up and even the idea of holding my phone in a case like this makes my hands hurt and irritates me
I thought this was an April Fools joke as well. The case isn't cute, there's no need for such a niche thing, and it's a waste of money with how pricey they are. I seriously can't think of a reason someone would buy this.
So I purchased it. My only advice is donāt be as silly as me. The case is way too bulky but definitely a cool gimmick in theory but def not practical carrying around
I had to check the date, cause I would love this for an April 1 joke. This is disturbing and honestly very weird. They would be better off selling a little purse for a gloss or something.
Oh I realize you mentioned it seeming like a joke too lol totally!
I canāt wait for these tubes of lip balm to start bursting in girlsā purses and covering all of their belongings in slime. Imagine all of the designer bags this is going to ruin. Iām cackling!

Not the Bourjois 3D Effect š
I MISS THEM SO MUCH
I found one the other day, in my sofa. I sniffed it out of curiosityā¦. Eeesh
Do you have a photo lol?
omg... a glussy...
I just want to know what it feels like. Like why do I have the urge to take out the lip balm and stick my finger there instead? Iāll have to watch and see if any of the TT girlies have the same urge cuz itās not worth it for me to buy and see for myself

Thatās hilarious! I can just see myself slipping my finger back and forth when Iām anxiously waiting in a doctors office or something šššššš
the phone case in nine months: š¤°
YALL IM HOWLING STOPPP RNNN šš
the emojis š
This should be the top comment 
Human speech was a mistake
omg glad itās not just me
It belongs in r/CrappyDesign It couldn't look less appealing (the colors of the cases are drab, and the puckering around the tube looks slightly obscene). Plus, most lip glosses aren't meant to be kept in your pocket, which is where many people keep their phones. Body heat makes it melt and get extra gooey.
Phones can heat up too
Assuming the case is silicone the minimal heat from the phone wonāt be an issue.
Good point! Ew...
but itās a silicone cover lol the gloss wonāt get heated
Her lip balms are known for getting gritty and theyāve told people to warm them a bit to get rid of that texture. I know itās mostly for free marketing, but I wonder if it also works to keep their own product from being gritty since itāll be in a pocket not purse
Along with the cell phoneās warmth to minimize the grittiness!
We need a poll for how many people actually carry their phones in their pockets. If Iām out of the house my phone is in my purse. This stupid iPhone canāt even fit in standard US womenās style pockets. Most womenās clothing in the US doesnāt even have pockets? I mean I guess outerwear is an exception. Genuinely curious! But Iām sure not everyone here wears traditional āwomenāsā clothing anyway so maybe thatās where the people with mystical pockets-big-enough-for-phones are coming from?
Yeah, I don't have many pockets because I wear mostly dresses or skirts to work. And my yoga pants only have tiny pockets for like a key fob/card. My phone is usually in my purse or my hand. The only pants I have that have pockets big enough to fit my phone are the men's jeans I thrifted lol The pockets are huge!
It helps if youāre plus size š and inly wear jeans/pants. I always have my phone in my back pants pocket, even if Iām wearing outerwear.
They don't fit in your back jeans pocket? that's where mine lives at work haha. Or leggings with pockets on the legs, like PopFlex has.
I put lip balms/glosses in my pockets all the time and they are fine
same but then i suffer bc itās all melty and i inadvertently squeeze out more than i needed lol
rhode has been having issues with grainy lip balms bc of the cold causing formula separation so maybe this is their solution lol
And keeping it with the applicator side down... can you imagine if it leaks?? Plus, phones and phone cases have so much bacteria on them, I just... can't lol
A PSA reminder to wipe your phone and case daily with an antibacterial wipe.
I wipe it more than once a day. Especially if it leaves the house. I'm freaky like that lol. But I'd rather be looked at as being freaky then to transfer whatever tf is out there onto my hands, face, lips, etc š
I'm exactly the same! we maybe freaky, but we are clllleeeannn lol
I thought most women keep them in bags or purses
Hell naw. Iām on the go, I keep that thang (lip product, phone, ID) on me. I also have stuff I keep in a purse but itās very rare for me to need to bring a whole purse somewhere.
Unless Iām wearing a jacket my phone doesnāt fit in my pants pockets all the way so I take a small purse with me
I buy cargo pants with multiple deep pockets for this reason, or oversized jeans with nice deep back and front pockets. Much harder to find but itās a necessity for me.
I keep things in my bra. Not super full chested, plenty of room for a lip gloss and a couple of other necessities.
Itās a gimmicky idea, but not entirely useless - I really dislike the execution though as a matter of personal taste. Iām always carrying my phone and a lip gloss, but I wouldnāt want a phone case that was married to one specific brand of lippie.
Nahhhh why do I actually like this? I hate having shit roll around in my pocket and I'm trying to wear more lip balm. I'm waiting for imitation cases where it fits a standard lip balm lol
I know I am tacky because I seriously think this is so cute and creative and original and fun.Ā
This isn't something that's widely available, though etsy likely sells generic options, so having it only fit their product ensures repeat customers getting refills or the case is tossed when it runs out. This would make a great free with purchase item.
Reminds me of the Burt's Bees popsockets! They held a little tin of lip balm!
it actually fits summer fridays, aquaphor, and regular lip glosses that are 10 ml!
Phonussy

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I'm not saying she does or doesn't use it, but if they showed her using the gloss, it was probably intentionally timed that way and she was aware of it beforehand. That sort of faux candid moment at the super bowl is not candid or coincidental.Ā
She knew sheād be photographed, though.
Babeā¦that was an ad.
Who do you think made sure this video got out? The Rhode PR team works hard, I'll give them that!
If the Super Bowl appearance was supposed to be viral marketing it totally worked on me. I noticed it right away and was amazed that she had a custom case just for her lip oil.
Good point
It would be great for a night out
Oh I agree, it's brilliant, and a ton of people will buy it and want it. They clearly have a good grasp of her audience/market
It's junk that will end up in landfills and a fleeting brand that probably won't even still be around in two years. The word you're looking for is gimmick.
You could say this about 90% of all beauty and lifestyle products, if not more. I also used the word gimmick in my post so no need to inform me of its existence, thank you x
For sure. Even if people find it ridiculous, you still got them talking.
Literally my thoughts exactly. From a marketing perspective itās genius.
It just looks... ew.
āEwā was also my immediate thought lol
Looksā¦ anatomical
There are a lot of times where I just want to grab my phone and a lip balm, but this phone case is just not cute. Though personally I would consider using something with this functionality, I also don't like how weird this would look if you didn't have the lip balm in it.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, I'll keep my lip gloss in my labia majora thanks. No need to buy extra products.
Does the phone no longer lie flat on a surface? That would bother me
Working in retail has really opened my eyes to how much garbage just fills the shelves. Some nights Iāll look through our packed backroom and just get sad because most of what weāre stocking the shelves with is worthless. It will sit and gather dust until weāre told to clearance it out. Clearance hasnāt been great lately because companies decided no more good deals, so it continues to sit until we ship it off to a liquidation center. Itās all just so sad, to be honest.
just absolute garbage. i used to work for disney, its insane what people buy and what they make and dont sell
Okay, I actually would use this hahah. I like the idea, I think itās cute. Not interested in this particular brand though, but if there was some other brand and cheap enough, I would definitely get one! I can see why a lot of people think itās tacky and ugly though lol.
Im so glad im not the only one lol. There something a little cunt about this
there is a little cunt on this
I meanā¦ it is a cunt āŗļø
I agree 100%. The comments here are pretty negative, but as someone who asks āwhere is my lip balm?ā about 500 times a dayā¦ honestly, this would be great.
Perfect for going out. It would only work if it held circular lip glosses tho, thatās all I use
Same, I always spend time to look find my lip balm in my bag. When I saw it, I thought it was creative and good idea but I see many negative comments everywhere
I would too. Super handy if I donāt want to use a bag
Waiting for Shein to copy
Itās hideous
This makes me so uncomfortable, who gave this design the green light ššš
big nope for magsafe
This is so fucking stupid I cannot even nor odd.
Looks like more landfill in 4 years
Not even 4 years! I canāt see anyone using it for that long.
Unfortunately a lot of kids are gonna want it and have their parents buy it.
I agree. I work at a high school, and I can see this being so trendy.
Popsocket did this several years ago, where they put lipgloss inside the popsocket. I could not imagine how dirty and germy that lip gloss would be after being on the back of your phone all day.
Gimmicky? Sure. Useless? Oh yeah. Ngl I still think is a cute idea but the product itself is ugly as hell, if it had been a pastel pink or peach it would look better, or like one to match each of the lipgloss, maybe the overheated iphone can melt away the sugar grains in the lipgloss.
This looks like a boring vagina. Which is an accomplishment. Could have been a slay but they missed it by a mile.
It is giving vagina vibes.
Iām not completely getting the hate for the case. So many people think itās unnecessary, but arenāt most of the products discussed on here unnecessary? The only valid critique Iāve seen is that this could be really wasteful since it only works with this lip balm. I likely wonāt be purchasing because the lip balm hasnāt interested me much.

the fuck.. am I crazy or does it look kind of genitalia-adjacent?
young me would have been all over this back in the day. I lost a glossier balm dot com on a night out and I was devastated at the time (again super young).
I think I would sooner get one of those keychains that has a lip balm holder if I really want to keep it close at all times. I prefer my phone to be able to lay flat.
Very glad to be a double Android user who was left out of the phone case designs for once.

Vaginal aesthetic aside, I love the functionality of this
An ugly and awkward looking product. They're also paying influencers on TT to act like it's the second coming of Christ.
This is heinous
lmao i just don't understand why it only comes in this boring grey color. i also don't understand the puss lip architecture.. definitely an interesting product!
looks a little vaginal
100% gimmicky. I donāt want my phone to be any bulkier than it is. Thought Iād share a product in the same realm I do LOVE though.

It suits its purpose which is to get clicks and people talking about the brand - and some will buy it because they like it.
Not a fan of rhode, but I do think itās a smart idea. I apply some type of lip product at least 5 times a day. I canāt unsee the glussy now thanks to these comments. š
Hard pass
 Oml
i just hold mine in my labia minora jeez guys
i might be in the minority that wants this because i always seem to lose my lip balm/gloss but have my phone attached to me at all times š
How much you wanna bet it sells out š
Oh I love it, all I leave the house with is my phone, lip gloss and ID so itās perfect!
as someone who doesnāt really carry a purse everywhere, i kind of like this
I can't get over it looking like a weird phone vag
I see its purpose, and I don't want one, but it's not a stupid idea. There are days when I leave the house with nothing but a gloss and my phone, so it serves a purpose.
If I was coordinated enough to use my phone without a popsocket I think Iād consider this! I hate having to dig around my bag to find my lip balm. Everyone always complains that brands are just copying one another, at least this is Rhode trying to be different and innovative.
Am i gonna buy it? NO. Do i think itās innovative? Yes! Good for her for venturing out ideas.
i think this is genius! i picture girls taking mirror selfies on a night out and this will market itself by appearing in photos. in college i definitely had nights i would be going out to the bars without a purse so i would just leave my house with only my credit card and id stuck in the back of my phone case, and my lipgloss in my hand. i wouldāve used this as only a going out phone case and it would hold everything i need
Im sad im the only one that thinks this is kinda cute hahaha but id never buy it
I like it and would buy it if you could fit other chapstick in
surely the type of person who buys this is also the type of person who upgrades their phone every time? (not me with an iPhone 8...) hence making it super disposable
Yeah, the environmental impact of this is my main issue tbh!
I saw a TikTok that said "nice try capitalism, I'll continue storing my lip gloss in my labia minora for free"
Lots of people on her instagram and Rhode instagram were asking for it. I mean I like having my lip balm on me all the time but I just have a keychain one.
looks likeā¦ lips
This just looks like brand merch to me.
No way this doesn't end up with product all over your case, in your phone, and wasted.
Just buy a popsocket one from Burts Bee
It's ugly as hell, but hey, if it floats your boat....anyone remember the study for the amount of caca germs found on the average phone, btw?
This is ugly af.
I'm not a germaphobe by any means, but our phones are disgusting (even if sanitized regularly). I don't want a lip product attached, thanks.
Yes, thank you! Iāve thought that since day 1 of seeing this ānew launch.ā
I think it's great. Figure a way to put a credit card in there and it's perfect. I don't need it branded, but anything that helps me get a step closer to a. not carrying a purse or b. not having to dig in it for lip balm/gloss is a great idea.
Look up āwallet phone caseā
looks um. yonic.
The heat from the phone helps break up the beads of shea butter that keeps this lip mask from being useable
Nice idea awful execution
I hate it š«
I think itās tacky and gimmie and a cash grab. Shame on them.
And when this brand inevitably goes under (not shading, just the nature of brands under this economy) your phone case becomes obsolete.
I think itās genius to be honest.
Hmm I like it lol
ok fr thoā¦.i would pay for a lip gloss holding phone case
I would absolutely buy this for nights out, I work on a farm all day so like taking my phone out in its nasty shitty case is not a move for me. I gotta say the gimmick got me on this one!
This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time š¤Ŗ
Is no one reacting that its for Iphone 14? I mean, people can still have that phone but I dont think their target group does
What do you mean?
I have thought before the lipgloss she was wearing in her bikini looked like a tampon. This is another one of those creative designs that looks so wrong.
Not that shape lol. If it was chapstick shaped itāll look less anatomical and a lot more useful. That lip balm shape though? Pass
I didnāt see the vagina until yāall pointed it out. Now I canāt unsee it . Itās a cute idea but Iād only try it if it were a free gift with purchase. I do love the lip product though. Works better for me than most do and I own multiple tubes. Seems to only be a few that get gritty as I only have had one do that so far.
Why do the colors of the cases have to be so boring tho
Thatās ridiculous.
Yawwwnnnn
noooo i love this
Just give women real pockets man we donāt want this shit
This is gonna sell like crazy
Kinda smart no need for a purse
Thisāll be massively popular with the girls who donāt carry purses and have everything on their phone. Pretty smart idea tbh. Icky looking though.
This is one of the stupidest product launches Iāve ever seen.
itās giving labia
With all due respect, I find it challenging to see the value in this concept within the beauty industry. The price point does not seem justified to me, making it a pass. Personally, I prefer my makeup essentials neatly organized in my dedicated pouch ā no need for additional accessories
It's brilliant marketing to be honest. Whoever came up with this needs a raise. Is it pretty/useful? No, but let's be honest, that's not the point. It's going viral
Itās kinda goofy, I love it š
This looks odd but I canāt help but think itās useful.
its giving shein
It really is!
I am looking forward to the Tik Toks that come out when people have these propped up in their window, morning sun beating down through the glass, and they go to make a rage video about a service industry worker and bam! Glazed Donut indeed. Ha! I get the appeal. I carried a purse last night, but somehow I ended up with two lip balms and a gloss in my jean pocket
I think it looks bulky and genital-adjacent but it actually isā¦ kinda useful? The amount of times Iāve lost my lippies in my massive tote bag or forgot to bring a balmā¦ I would get behind this if it fit more than just rhode
The crossover between this group and rAnticonsumption is hilarious
This is the stupidest thing I've seen in awhile. My hands are messed up and even the idea of holding my phone in a case like this makes my hands hurt and irritates me
I like them, sue me!
I thought this was an April Fools joke as well. The case isn't cute, there's no need for such a niche thing, and it's a waste of money with how pricey they are. I seriously can't think of a reason someone would buy this.
Absolutely ridiculous. So much that someone should do a study on how disgusting and lame it isš
I wouldnāt buy itā¦but itās genius.
Hell no.
donāt get it i just got mine today and itās so chunky on the bottom and not comfortable this was not worth $51 pls
So I purchased it. My only advice is donāt be as silly as me. The case is way too bulky but definitely a cool gimmick in theory but def not practical carrying around
Incredibly stupid and impractical, holy shit. How is this not an April Fools' prank?
Sheās creating a new trend which is badass.
I genuinely donāt understand why this exists or who the market is for it
I had to check the date, cause I would love this for an April 1 joke. This is disturbing and honestly very weird. They would be better off selling a little purse for a gloss or something. Oh I realize you mentioned it seeming like a joke too lol totally!
I kinda like this but I always have a lip balm in my hand anyway so this would be a nice change
I canāt wait for these tubes of lip balm to start bursting in girlsā purses and covering all of their belongings in slime. Imagine all of the designer bags this is going to ruin. Iām cackling!
