Because I really want one Grin

Will I look like an idiot? Not be taken seriously?

Currently got a clear plastic one which is just boring! And yes I care too much about what people will think Wink

Being a grownup is overrated. You get one life, live it as you want to live it, not like you think you should live it.

MsJaneAusten · 25/01/2020 09:17

I want one? I’m 40.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 25/01/2020 09:20

Link please... (Yanbu)

celebratingrita · 25/01/2020 09:21

I have lots of things with sheep on as DF moved somewhere with lots of sheep and its been a running theme.

celebratingrita · 25/01/2020 09:22

Baaa to the 2% of naysayers.

Davincitoad · 25/01/2020 09:22

Not even a question of course it’s fine! Me and hubby have had minions, superman, a final space character.... you only
Live once!

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/01/2020 09:25

Baffled by the lack of a link. I'm over 50 and wish I had more fun, life is too short. Buy the case, I may need inspiration.

PrincessButthole · 25/01/2020 09:26

I can honestly say that I have never judged anyone by their phone case

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 25/01/2020 09:27

Do it!!!! I love dinosaurs!!! I suspect people think I've gone dinosaur because my son is a boy... But we didn't know what we were having and I had fun buying dinosaur stuff for his room 😂

finn1020 · 25/01/2020 09:27

Buy whatever phone case you like.

BarkandCheese · 25/01/2020 09:27

Get it! I’m 48 and my phone case has a scene from My Neighbour Totoro on it.

funmummy48 · 25/01/2020 09:28

Have whatever you like, it's one of the privileges of being an adult. 😊

TheBlueStocking · 25/01/2020 09:30

I would love a dinosaur phone case!

PineappleDanish · 25/01/2020 09:32

I'm in my 40s and have a Harry Potter one. And Hufflepuff socks.

teagivesmejoy · 25/01/2020 09:33

I'm in my mid forties currently sat in huge dinosaur slippers, also wear Dino earphones during my work commute.
Couldn't care less, I love em!

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 25/01/2020 09:37

I play with Lego, my favourite jumper has a robot on it and I got a scooter for Christmas. Go for it!

Oysterbabe · 25/01/2020 09:39

I've got 2 dinosaur pinafore dresses that I wear all the time. I'm 39 and give no shits.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 25/01/2020 09:40

Is that you Ross??

Oysterbabe · 25/01/2020 09:42

These are the ones I have.

I’m in my 50s. I had a Godzilla phone case a few years ago. Much better than boring transparent. I also collect werewolf toys. My children and husband are ashamed of me Smile

You get one life, live it as you want to live it, not like you think you should live it.

Basically.

But YABU for not posting a picture of this dinosaur case.

IckyIsAFuckingStupidWord · 25/01/2020 09:55

I have a Wonder Woman case and I’m proud! I am a child of the 80’s though Grin I’m quite liking the idea of a glitterfall case now though!

SquitMcJit · 25/01/2020 10:04

I have a retro cartoon one. I love it. I’m 44.

Also, if I see someone walking along with say a snoopy key ring or a dinosaur badge or a Studio Ghibli bag or something, it makes me happy. I think it’s fab when people are having fun and expressing what they like. It’s joyous.

colinthecaterpillars · 25/01/2020 10:16

I've a harley quinn purse and t-shirts and I'm 40,I do forget I'm that age and can't say I've noticed people's reaction but I like them and don't care if others don't.go for it

Microwavedtea · 25/01/2020 10:37

I have the same dino dress as Oysterbabe, I'm 34.

I didnt realise there were age limits on things like phone cases or dinosaur related items. I'll wear and use whatever designs I want
