Carphone Warehouse etc?

Or Accessorize for pretty ones?

Whooosh · 01/09/2007 21:54

Thanks all-had decided that a pair of infant socks would suffice if I don't get a chance to get anywhere which sells them...

can anyone tell me what the point of phone socks are?

TinyGang · 02/09/2007 12:49

Yes Claire's accessories have them.

I bought one for dd by mistake - we thought it was a little wrist band with Miffy on it.

It took me ages to work out that it was for a phone. I thought it could only be a very small sock for one foot

Dd put it on her doll in the end.

lou if you don't get it you are obviously not as clumsy as I am - use of a phone sock vastly increases the life expectancy of a phone for me as I constantly drop them. The one I have also clips on to my bag so I stand more chance of finding it when it rings.

lou33 · 02/09/2007 14:29

ah ok i see

my phone is just always jammed in my pocket, i don't carry a bag

stealthsquiggle · 02/09/2007 21:57

Neither do I when (if) I can escape without DC and all attendant rubbish - but when I am in Mummy mode I am carrying so much crap that the phone has no chance! Phone sock is also useful for when I am wearing stupid work suits with no pockets as I can hang it round my neck! I was going to post what the brand is on mine for the OP but (a) it's a bit late for her and (b) I can't find it

I have no idea what you want,but this reminded me a faboulous thread years ago, about a MNers who wore pants on her head while on the phone so she could hold the phone to her ear and 'multi-task'

MrsWeasley · 02/09/2007 22:01

when I read this I LOL "a phone sock how daft" BUT my last phone got all dust in the screen and the cover couldnt come off, so it just got worse and worse and I couldnt read the messages. I was told it was because I kept it in my pocket, so a phone sock would have been a great idea for my phone!

stealthsquiggle · 02/09/2007 22:03

ok mine is not quite this silly, but this is what the OP was talking about.
