I think I may have found my ideal iPhone case (or family of cases, really). They are cute, protective, and best of all, they are plushes! Yay! I am talking about the Wise-Pet family of cuddly cases for smartphones and tablets. They were designed with children in mind (and even come with an app for interacting with the plush) but I see no reason why adorable technology-loving adults such as myself can't enjoy them.

The members of the Wise-Pet family that were made for smartphones are the sweet Pinky, the fun-loving Sealy (my personal favorite), and the ever-curious Stripy. The optimistic Flora and ticklish Splashy will happily hold your tablets. One of the neat things I noticed was that the smartphone Wise-Pets hold maintain their balance by a having a sort of tripod-like body while tablet ones bend their legs back to create a stand. It also looks like each of the pets can be securely attached to the back of a carseat with an included adjustable strap. 

Want one of these friendly critters to help protect your device? Well, they are going to need your help first. The Wise-Pets have a Kickstarter campaign going to get these guys into production. At time of writing, they have about US$10000 out of the US$50000 needed with 40 more days to go. Head on over to the project page to see the pledge levels and their corresponding rewards.
