We’ve spent years babying our iPhones and countless dollars on better cases to keep them safe (usually after breaking one and then replacing it). It seems odd, then, that we should be so intrigued by the iPhone Trick Cover from Japanese company Nitto. The cover, only available for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, makes you look like a slick ninja whenever you take your phone out.

The “trick” in the trick cover is its unique flipping motion. With a flick of your wrist, you can shake that bad boy up like a pair of nunchuks to slide out your phone. Shake it and slide it again and your phone’s screen is protected. Then it’s up to you whether you want to keep playing with it or actually use it to be productive. Judging from how fun it looks, we’d probably never get anything done ever again.

But the case isn’t all flash; it also stores your credit cards, ID, and transport passes like a lot of other wallet-type phone cases. When you’re done playing with it, the case becomes a stand for your phone so you can set it down securely on a flat surface. It’ll probably need to rest after all of that ninja-style tricking, anyway.

You can also just use your hand to slide the phone case open and closed if you, like us, are terrified of your phone flying out of your hands when you’re trying to look cool. You can buy the iPhone Trick Cover for around $30 at Nitto’s online shop.

There’s never been a shortage of weird and seemingly-unnecessary iPhone accessories, and the Rolto printer from King Jim is joining those ranks. The $260 (U.S.) printer more or less takes a screenshot of your iPhone screen, then prints it out (in black and white) onto paper – an iPhone-width piece of paper that looks like a receipt.

The printer connects to your iPhone over a wifi connection and requires a free app to use its interface. The app is in Japanese, but is graphics-based so should be easy enough to use for non-Japanese readers.

Even if the thing you need to print is longer than the iPhone’s screen and requires scrolling on the phone to see it all, the Rolto will print it all. Its paper is on a long roll, like a roll of receipt paper, so you’ll only have one piece of hard copy to deal with.

So the concept sounds a little ridiculous (particularly for the price), but we can actually see it coming in handy in a few situations. Sharing notes or directions, taking a recipe into the kitchen without risking your iPhone’s health, and printing a quick photo all come to mind. Since it’s portable and specifically meant to use with an iPhone, it can be used wherever there’s a wifi connection.
