The Woogie is a soft and huggable iPhone enclosure that is part stuffed animal and part protective case. It has two built-in speakers1 to play with Iceberg Kids eBooks, music, videos, and more. The Woogie’s six appendages are made from soft, non-toxic fabrics and allow for easy carrying and tuck underneath to prop your iPhone up for handsfree viewing.

If the bright screen and fun apps weren’t enough to keep your kids fixated on your iPhone, stuffing it inside this fuzzy green asterisk from Teletubbyland will certainly ensure that your phone will soon be indelibly regarded as theirs. But at least it will keep them quiet.

The Woogie, $19.99 USD, is now available from Griffin’s website. The free Woogie Sesame Street Sampler is available in the App Store. Additional apps and content from Iceberg Kids are available in the App Store.
