iPhone underwear unveiled to 'protect your home screen' - PHOTO

Looking for the perfect secret Santa gift this year? Well Femail may have just saved you from searching in the form of stylish pants for your iPhone.How the novelty item will protect the phone is perhaps rather curious as it covers little more than the home button in the same way real underwear covers our modesty.The £2.50 'pants' are suitable for men and women with a range of prints that are a little more masculine. For women there are thong-like designs with strawberry patterns, leopard print and zebra stripes while for men the shape and design looks a bit more like boxer shorts.The pants are also on sale on eBay, where one seller writes: 'Make your iPhone charming. Each iPhone is worth the panties to protect its privacy.' The bizarre accessories are imported from Japan, where they are apparently quite popular. According to Cnet, locals snap up the panties from vending machines, where they are sold in plastic balls.Apparently they are so popular that retailers are having to take advance orders for them after they sold out.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
