Underwear Gacha
Underwear and apparel maker Peach John have teamed up with Yujin/Takara Tomy to produce a most interesting product aimed at a most interesting demographic - Gacha undewear aimed at ladies.
These gacha come in the shape of some underwear varieties and are intended to be hung off ones mobile phone - 300 yen a go and available now.
Wondering if they will fit on some of the figures ^^;
Mobile straps are immensely popular in japan - its interesting to see business men in suits with a teddy bear hanging off their mobile - you see them all the time when commuting. All mobiles over here come with a hole to hang stuff from.
As for me - nothing hangs off my phone. Used to have a plain strap but took it off.

Can't stand stuff being on my phone. Perhaps a decal or something on the plain back, but that's about it.

When I had my SonyEricsson, I had a Planet of the Apes Baby Milo and a Gacha Chupa Chups (strawberry flavour).
But nothing hangs off the iPhone now probably because there's nowhere to hang anything of it...

I know the machine's outside a lady's underwear store but, are you sure these are aimed at the ladies...? I don't know about Japan but, it would definitely catch a lot of laughs here! Embarrassed giggles and shameful looks too unless you were bringing them into campus. Would work nicely at parties too =P
And no, nothing hangs on my phone.
LOL ^^:
don't want????

I no longer have anything hanging from my cell phone. My last cell phone charm broke and was lost :(
I used to have Hello Kitty dressed up as the main female character from Paradise Kiss. My wife still has the Dear Daniel charm on her phone. Photos of both charms can be found here: http://flickr.com/photos/darktek13/2456652405/in/set-72157605420348317/

Nothing hanging from my phone, but I do have stuff hanging from my DS. My next mobile will probably have something cute hanging from it. Most likely not undies though... That just seems too creepy. >.< Then again, they do make underwear purses, and those were pretty popular a while back. O.o

No, but I want to!
Just checking, is it the norm to glitter your phone too?
What kinda keychains do the guys hang over there?

>"As for me - nothing hangs off my phone."
Same there, I carry my phone on me almost all the time and it is too unpractical to have mobile strap, would get dirty too quickly.

I used to on my old phone, it was a strap of Yuzuki(the Chobits Maid with twin tails). But my new phone doesn't have a hole for a strap, which makes me sad cuz I'd like to put one on.
I still buy the straps though and use them on other things like my keys or on my bag.

I've seen quite a few different gacha before, can't say I've seen that though. xD I think I would pass on this one though. (^_^;
I love phone straps. My current phone (HTC Touch Pro), however, doesn't have a hole for one. But it came with a holder which I hang one off of. (^-^) It's a Hello Kitty one and it has a Hello Kitty ring that's on a chain with a little Hello Kitty face in the middle. It's pretty cool because they're both made of metal so it acts like a bell when I move and they collide.

. . . Why would you hang underwear off of your cell phone? Talk about random!
I have a little seed bead bunny hanging off of my phone, but that's mostly because my mom has the exact same model of phone that I do, and the bunny was a gift from my roommate. If it weren't for those two reasons, I wouldn't have anything on it at all.
a guy who cares (sort of...)
I'm 100% with you Danny, no straps on my phone either (and on other stuff too).

I got a Chinese mobile strap as a present so I used it for a while. But when I changed phone I decided that the strap would be put into the drawer. It was just in the way all the time even tho it was pretty...

Seems like newer phones don't have strap holes anymore...

:( I was so worried about getting my new smartphone, as usually they don't have straps, but surprise! Mine did. :) I would probably be devastated if my phone didn't have a strap loop. D:

I'm not really a fan of phone straps. BUT I'll put 1 or 2 things on my key chain!

Seems to me it would make someone jump often to think something is crawling down their side when the strap wiggles and touches them. Really don't know where they would attach them on the panties... *FacePalm*
My phone doesn't have any straps its not a video phone so looks exactly like a StarTrek communicator and fits in my pocket. *one to beam up Mr Spock*

I would certainly hang something off my iphone if it was even possible. As sleek and posh it is I'm quite sure the thingy is designed to conviently slip out of ones hand... I wonder if people in Japan complained about no holes for straps on the iphone. Or does the iphone in Japan have holes for strap?

Im too scared of scratching my phone, plus everybody looks at you strangely here if you pull out your phone with anything more than a strap hanging off of it...

Every time I hang something from my phone I lose it. It never fails. Last thing to "go walkies" was an HP Linux penguin. I was going to make a necklace from it. Should have gone with my first instinct. So yeah, keeping the charms and straps well away from the ol' Keitei.
student
lol wtheck. totally random but its pretty cute.
I actually want to get one lolol(any of them except the lady figure one).
One thing that I randomly look for in a phone when I'm getting a new one is if whether
or not it has the strap hole. I absolutely dont know why but I prefer it more if it has the hole.
I dont hang any anime figures on my phone, not even those plushies. I usually just prefer the wristlet thing or those cellphone charms that're made of beads or something(I usually make them on my own). right now there's two things hanging on my phone, my phone's stylus and this charm I got from the asian mall in Toronto that's a small tube that has a bit of water and a floating black rose made of tin(I think) inside.
