With a new gadget launched by a British company you can now turn your iPhone (sleekest of gadgets available in the market) into an old-style 'brick' mobile phone beloved by executives of the 1980s.
It is a simple case, into which the iPhone slots, turns the slimline smart phone into a huge gadget, which will not fit into a glove compartment, let alone a trouser pocket.
The case, which costs £12.99, has been developed by Thumbs Up, hoping to take advantage of 1980s nostalgia.
A company spokesman said: "By today's standards, you'd be forgiven for mistaking a 1980s mobile phone for, well, a house brick, but back in the day these chunky must-haves were the ultimate status symbol.
"Simply slot your iPhone into the custom-made holder and capture the look and feel of the 1980s 'house brick' without losing any of your 21st-century specs!"
The case will be available from April and fits an iPhone 3, 3GS and 4.
