The range of straps is enormous. Many feature characters such as the ubiquitous Hello Kitty and anime (Japanese animation) characters. While designer straps exist, most don’t cost more than the equivalent of a few dollars.
In Tokyo I kept coming across these “autopsy” cell phone straps exposing the innards of various creatures and landmarks.
This is called Edible Horse.
Here you see the Inland Chicken.
Those who are squeamish might prefer Mount Fuji.
The perfect gift for the iphone owner who has everything, no?Previous Posts In This Series:

Hi Wendy! Sorry for having taken so long to get back here again. Another hectic week…
Amazing straps as well as an incredible mermaid parade... ;)
And you're lucky to find coal vendors in the streets of Beijing's hutongs; not for long I assume, except in the «preserved Hutong" to show future tourists...
Thanks for your comments at Blogtrotter, still in Santiago de Compostela, now inside the Cathedral… Hope you enjoy, and have a nice weekend!
Hi Gil,
Welcome back. Hope you have a great weekend as well.
How would they fit that inside their purse? I mean......umm...interesting. I appreciate my discreet little black strap now. But each to their own....you are a font of such fascinating and curious facts :) Thank you!

Hi Bella,
It is a wonderful, wacky world we live in.
Too funny. Guess it just goes to prove that you can make anything stylish!

Anne,
I appreciate the sense of humor involved in these trinkets.
Love them. They're much more interesting than the Hello Kitty baubles that you typically see. Though I'd be interested to see what Kitty's insides look like...
Hi Janelle,
Autopsy Hello Kitty, perhaps there is a market for this...
