I just ripped the entire backside of my pants open while trying to frantically get my wallet out of my back pocket. I FEEL NO SHAME ABOUT THIS.

What if I told you that you, too, could spend $81 on an edible iPhone 5 case? It’s made of a rice cake, and rice cakes are very heavy, so that’s why shipping adds $15.

According to Japan Trend Shop’s product description:

Handmade from brown rice and salt by “Mariko”, this is one of the funniest and most original phone cases we’ve seen in a while. The Senbei Rice Cracker iPhone 5 Cover is literally part food, part phone case… and great in an emergency when you are desperate for a snack!

If you want a case that will provide 100% protection, don’t get this one. It’s literally made of rice so probably will break if dropped. However, then you can always eat it! A tongue-in-cheek design that shows the Japanese obsession with both tech and cuisine, we just love this!

It fits the iPhone 5. You’ve been waiting to upgrade; here’s your reason.

Here’s a photo of the delicate hand-crafting process:

“Whoa, where did the phone go?” *stomach rings* Siri, save yourself!
