Will this Hello Kitty Phone Make You Go Team Android?

Here in America, we like to revel in the special edition colors that come out in this season's hottest smartphones. Unfortunately, we don't have the pleasure of choosing out Hello Kitty-themed phones, seen in the vid below. This Samsung Galaxy Y, the first Hello Kitty smartphone released by Samsung, boasts 20 included kawaii wallpapers and an adorable on/off animation featuring Hello Kitty herself. We initially came across this beauty on tumblr, and for a while, we at the Cool Pencil Case office were debating on if this phone was actually real. This Hello Kitty edition of the Samsung Galaxy Y isn't available in the U.S. through any major phone carriers, so this video will have to do, for now at least.

NEW ARRIVALS: Food Takes Over Cool Pencil Case!

Before we start this blog post off, we bid you some caution: No, none of these delicious-looking school supplies are safe for consumption. Still, that doesn't mean you can't pay homage to some of your favorite snacks while you're in the classroom. With that being said, leave your tastebuds out of it and indulge in some of Cool Pencil Case's pens, pencils, and erasers that only look good enough to eat!

Pocky Slim-Scented Pencil 5-Pack ($5.25) 

If you took a walk into Cool Pencil Case's office, you'd notice that Pocky is definitely one of our favorite snacks (next to Hello Panda, of course). We were super excited to see these Pocky pencils finally debut at CoolPencilCase.com. Besides the true-to-life colors of each of the four colors, they all smell absolutely delectable. The best part? You can enjoy each flavor (through writing) over and over since each order comes in packs of five.

Chewy Candy Eraser Packs ($4.25)

Our photographer had tons of fun shooting these new Chewy Candy Eraser Packs. This shot was her personal favorite because it pretty much invites you to grab your favorite pack from the tray. Like we said, none of these chewy candy erasers are edible, but we can only imagine the "oohs" and "aahs" once you pop out with one of those Jelly Bean erasers in class!
