Bubble wrap is very handy for packing and protecting fragile items. It’s also great for stress relief. It’s even useful for making art and clothing. But using bubble wrap to take hot pans out of the oven normally results in a pile of melted goo, along with third-degree burns. Unless you’re talking about this special mitt, that is.

The whimsical minds at Fred & Friends designed this protective silicone oven mitt that looks just like you wrapped your hand in bubble wrap. Unfortunately, you can’t actually pop the bubbles on the Poppin’ Hot Oven Mitt, but then again, you wouldn’t want to have to replace your oven mitt every day either.

You can get the Poppin’ Hot Oven Mitt over at Perpetual Kid for $17.09(USD). And in case you were thinking you could DIY instead, don’t.

Obviously, there’s no way a phone case can transform your iPhone into an actual hard drive – unless, well, it actually comes packed with a spare disk drive on the back. However, it’s way easier to give your smartphone the appearance that it is an actual hard drive, at least when it’s viewed from the back.

Aside from protecting your phone from the elements and making it every geek’s envy, this plastic case might make your iPhone less appealing to thieves, since they might think that it’s just some ratty old hard drive that probably isn’t worth much on the black market. At least, let’s hope they’ll think that way.

This creative iPhone case comes from Fred & Friends, and is currently available on Perpetual Kid for $13(USD) – at this point, it’s only available in iPhone 4/4S sizes though. While it’s not the first such cover we’ve spotted, you can actually buy this one.
