I saw a funny looking circle and the word “Pop”. I thought it was these, which I used to get for free from my dentist after a checkup (or a parachute army guy):
These would be bad to put a phone on, but it would be good if they were for sale (without the phone), because they are pretty sweet.
@lichme did you ever see the metal ones from Edmond Scientific? They sold them years before the rubber ones and they popped higher. Hit our ceilings all the time.
I’d click my Meh face for having a useful thing that I’d want on the back of my phone but that would prevent wireless charging so I can’t have that thing on the back of my phone unless I want to go back to the world of wires.
Who wants to go back to a wireful world in the wireless age?
It’d be kinda fun to have one on the dash of my truck so I could mash it when traffic is stoopid. But it’ll have to wait til another time, because I am completely broke.
@arrakisforce been too long since I’ve seen that one. What could be better than Macaulay Culkin, Norm from Cheers, Tyra Banks and the red headed chick from Head of the Class? Perhaps meh face pop phone holders. Perhaps.
@fastharry I’ve already received two meh things I ordered after I got the fuko, and I’ll be getting a third soon (meh still says processing but Fedex has the tracking number).
@sugarpike yep I did! And then spent 20 min reading is crappy the air vent pop holders are. Ended up buying these but will stick with my magnetic air vent so back of phone will be crowded
Curious if this is a decent quality one with a silicone material or if it’s the same as the shitty $2 hard/thin plastic version I found at a store near me that broke after a day.
I just bought one of these on eBay with matching holders that attach to my dashboard, one for my car and one for my truck. All cost less than $4 shipped from China. I love it, using it now. Sorry meh, you’re literally one week late for this sale.
This is exactly the kind of item that would have been sent to VMPs once upon a time to thank us for our loyalty. Guess you guys didn’t think about doing that, huh?
The silliness; superphone manufacturers pride themselves in eliminating the bezel, which makes them impossible to handle while using (or at least without looking silly), so we have to attach a knob to the back. “Oooo, it’s so flat, and with no bezel it fits in your pocket!”
Myeah, how’s that working for you?
Message from the manufacturer: “We made a thing that is designed to be unusable, so pay us $800!”
/curmudgeon
On the one hand I want to buy because: Meh Face…but with so many Fukos sold recently, is it likely that these will make their way into those bags/boxes? hmmmm
Slap one of these on the back of a bluetooth transmitter and you’ve got a convenient headphone cable manager for your nice headphones when you just wanna go wireless.
So, I want this. But I’ll be out of town during the entire delivery window, and would rather wait for it to ship until I’m back (instead of letting it sit in my building’s lobby for a week, or risking it arriving where I’m staying after I leave).
Can Meh delay the delivery for me so the first day it could arrive is the 25th? Pretty please?
These are not even worth the $5 shipping cost. Meh.com should pay us to plant these on our phones and yet, they sell. It’s like Meh.com has their own little consumer cult.
“no. we’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune! we take turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. that’s right. i just quoted monty python. got a problem with it? fuck you! so say we all.”
What do these look like when you put your phone in your chest pocket? I have one of those ring kickstand things and it looks like I have a large nipple piercing under my shirt.
@medz turn the phone around and put the ring towards your body. they you just have a phone shaped breast instead of a phone shaped breast with pierced nipple, problem solved
i;m a girl, no chest pockets, doesn’t show in my purse or the few pants with pockets i have
@mollama What’s this “business” you’re talking about? Remember, dartboards and magic 8 balls are valid decision makers, and if you lose money selling a product, you’ll make it up in volume!
/s
(All joking aside, Mediocre has other business aspects that allows the goof off known as meh to continue, even if it’s not a serious money maker for the day.)
@narfcake i know, and 10k a day is a lot. Was just kidding around, i thought about adding a “how can snapster afford a gold ferrari if that’s all you sell a day” type joke, but i figured i had already been lame enough.
@RiotDemon The sticking point is that we can’t use the copyrighted Meh artwork. Unless you go “don’t ask don’t tell” with some alibaba pop-up pop socket phone holder vendor that just speaks enough USD to close the deal and then just pray it makes it through customs, both Chinese & US in a container.

@remo28 that is kind of scary.
Cat videos? On the internet? That’d never happen.
I hope they are Android compatible. I’m such a sucker for Meh merchandise.
Do they stick to a case or just the phone?
@Bayamonprieto77 case, phone, wall, you name it. If it’s a smooth flat surface, it will stick.
@mandirose if I shave my dog’s forehead will I be able to attach them to it like little disinterested antennae?

2 of these for 8 dollars?! thats like 2 dollars less then convenient store prices…
@sp3ar but it’s more expensive when you add in shipping.
I would have jumped on this if shipping weren’t $5. My wife has new phone and wants a pop thingy and the kids all have asked for them.
Personally I think they’re ridiculous, I’d rather not make my phone take up five times as much space in thickness.
i have that same exact speck case on my phone, so clearly i had to buy

@mike808 I have one coupon left. Certainly not going to use it on an item I could buy for 1/4 of the price.
