The Ice-Phone Retro Handset hearkens back to a simpler time, when a phone was a comfortably tangible plastic emplacement instead of a slim and diminutive slice of silicon. The Ice-Phone sports that delightfully retro look, with the traditional form of a handset and rotary dial base.<\/p>\n

Of course, this handset isn’t just a fun spot of nostalgia – it’s also quite functional as well. As you can see by the picture, there’s a slot for your smartphone to nestle and a 3.5 mm audio cable to plug in. Once the connection is made, you’ll be able to use the Ice-Phone. Just dial a number or call a friend on Skype, then place the receiver to your ear and it’ll be just like old times.<\/p>\n

To make the experience even more authentic, you can also download the Ice-Phone app from the App Store or Google Play. The app includes a rotary dialer and retro ring tones and dial tones.<\/p>\n

The Ice-Phone is compatible with a wide range of phones, either directly or via an adapter available from the Ice-Phone website, including all iPhone and BlackBerry phones and most others too. If your phone supports connecting a headset via a single 3.5 mm jack, it should work!<\/p>\n

There are quite a few Ice-Phones available in various colours. At the moment we’ve got four options – white, blck, pink and purple. Each of these colour options also match up with the app mentioned earlier, so you can have a whole themed system.<\/p>\n

The Ice-Phone is a really nicely done retro bundle that should warm the heart of anyone with a fondness for days gone by, and certainly one of the best looking iPhone 5 accessories<\/a> on the market. For more information and photos, be sure to check out the product pages listed below:<\/p>\n
