Santa Hat Earphone Jack Plug Makes Phones Jollier

Posted on by

I know it’s not yet December, but if you’re already feeling Christmas in the air, bless your cheerful soul. Here’s a quirky accessory that lets you plug a hole in your phone with Holiday cheer. It fits into the 3.5mm audio jack, doubling as protection from dirt. It hasn’t happened to my phone, but dirty jacks can cause problems with your gadget’s audio.

The hat is made of plastic, polymer and a bit of fabric all glued together, decorated with acrylic paint and then varnished. Obviously the hat won’t look as nice if you happen to own an iPhone 5 or any other device that has its 3.5mm output on its butt. Maybe someone should make a Christmas stocking plug for those devices.
