POP Phone Turns Your Cell Into an Old-Fashioned Handset
There was once a time when talking on the phone was a quiet affair, usually in the privacy of one's own home or an enclosed glass booth.

A return to classical form might not be an altogether bad thing.
Created by French designer David Turpin for Native Union, the POP Phone is a bulky, vintage-inspired headset for your mobile device, laptop or computer (Lenny Kravitz is a fan). Available in six colors for the fairly reasonable price of $29.90, you can pick up your little piece of updated antiquity today. Check out a video review below:
