Playa Case: IPhone Accessory Discreetly Hides Your Condoms (VIDEO)

They say that one day our phones will replace our wallets.

This is a good first step.

Annex Products, who previously brought you an iPhone case that has a beer bottle opener on it, are out with their latest bit of protection for the iPhone: It's called the Playa Case, and it features a sliding hidden compartment in which you are meant to store condoms.

The Playa (pronounced like an abbreviated form of "player," not like a beach in Madrid) is a hard shell case that fits over the back of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S and was specifically designed to hold and hide your Trojans, your Durexes, and your Crown Skinlesses. Below, a young Australian chap explains the benefits of said case in a promotional video:

Why bother making an iPhone case that stores rubbers? Well, it was apparently necessary because of how easy it is to identify the outline of a condom when it is pressed up against a leather wallet, and how mortifying that experience can be:

"[T]he Playa™ Case creators," a press release from Annex Products trumpeted, "wanted to ensure that while you’re playing it safe, you’re not giving the game away."

Charming.

I, for one, am not entirely convinced that a man might not "give the game away" by purchasing and equipping his phone with a case that has been specifically designed to store condoms. There's something about a dude who owns a single-purpose iPhone case -- with that single purpose being condom storage -- that just might make a potential lover think, "Wait a second -- this dude is probably having tons and tons of sex and/or is obsessed with sex to the point it is influencing his purchases and buying habits."

Or maybe I'm just a prude, I don't know. (Speaking of which, if we could get one of these iPhone condom cases branded with a "Rick Santorum 2012" logo, then we'd really have something). Until then, the Playa case comes in black, white, and pink and will be released in Summer 2012; you can sign up to be notified when the cases are launched on the Annex website.

I feel like everyone's taking this a little to serious, seems like a pretty funny gag gift to me.

This is great for since I already like to "cook" my condoms before I use them.

That's just wrong!

If something got torn open just think of the mess you'd have.

Oh, I thought it said Condiment.

Why would one who masturbates need a condom anyway?

two things:

1. Any guy who buys one already isn't getting laid, and this will dim any prospects.
2. The iPhone overheats, and that heat deteriorates condoms.

It would have been better if the iPhone case came with lotion dispenser, because that is what any guy dumb enough will be using. At home by himself on a Saturday night.

1. Any guy who buys one will never get laid, he already has no sex life

I accidentally hit "enter" instead of another button. I reposted, somewhere on here. :)

Why would I need to put a condom on my iPhone?

That's on the Fluke thread.

Dude thanks for letting me borrow your iPhone, but why is it so sticky?

There's a small company that's done this but with wallets over a year ago. I think wallets make more sense for hiding a condom than a phone case since the case would be much thicker than normal.
The wallets are called Feral Wallets.

For the man who doesn't want to drop a condom on the red carpet like Justin Bieber.

Wouldn't adding anything to the size of the iPhone be a negative. Consumers pay a premium price just to have the thinnest phone available.

It was actually Zac Efron who dropped it..

Well women carry condoms too. Remember that is how Carrie Bradshaw meets Mr. Big in the first episode of Sex in the City. Does the case come in pink? I can buy one for my newly divorced girlfriend as a "gift."

What's up Playa!

[My Mate Pat]

Now let's be realistic here. How many iPhone carrying tech nerds are really going to need one of these?

I need more condom storage capacity... plus, the Magnums don't fit in there unless you fold the corners.
