Pingu is underrated. There I said it. I grew up watching this show. The notorious noots and the pitta patta of Pingu's feet still haunt my dreams to this day but I can't help but feel a nostalgic love for Pingu.

Even my one year old son loves Pingu because of the non-verbal noises and obvious physical emotions that this adorable clay built character can showcase.

If you're a sucker for this adorable penguin like I am and have pockets the size of sleeping bags then you're in luck as there's now an oversized iPhone case that you really don't need, but I know damn well you really want.

Phone case company CaseBang has revealed an array of Pingu accessories for iPhone users, but the one that has me interested is the 25cm tall iPhone 16 Pro Max case made of silicon.

In no way is it practical, and it's certainly only going to be used in public by those that have no shame, but it looks adorable, it stands itself up right and has a camera cutout on the back for taking pictures with.

It comes in a 16 Pro Max version and a smaller 16 Pro version, made entirely of silicone it should protect your phone in many ways, if you can stop it from bouncing all the way back to Antarctica.

Prices start at around £49.99/$67.99 for both versions and from what I can tell ship immediately, with some free Pingu stickers thrown in.
