This spliff-holding iPhone case is anything but half-baked

A good iPhone case protects your handset from the blunt force of a fall. Then there’s the case that protects the force of your blunts.

The iHit is a case for the iPhone 6 and 6s with a slide out odor-free compartment that can stash up to five pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes. It is the latest evolution of the iHit case, which started with a case for the iPhone 5 that had a spring-loaded chamber for a single joint.

“We came up with the first case out of necessity,” a man named Jimmy James says on a promotional video on the iHit website. “We want to roll up and have a good time. The iPhone switched it up so we had to switch it up. We went from one joint and now you can hold five. It’s even more fun, you know?”

Reviews in the marijuana media have called it “ingenious” (Funky Piece.com) and “ridiculous!” (Stoner Gadgets.com).

“It’s a perfect place to stash your hand-rolled goodies,” Stoner Gadgets wrote with exclamation points. “If you don’t haven iPhone, get one now!! ‘Cause you need this stoner case!”

The iHit has a shell to protect your phone during the business day while the separate compartment slides in for after-hours plans. You can stash other things, from cash to condoms, but James said the design goal was to really keep your joints “ready to rock. Smokers, stoners, scholars . . . Everybody should be rocking the iHit.”

You can rock the iHit for 24.99 in all black, green/white. green/black and white/black. The company also offers a case for the same price that has a built-in lighter. Or, if you spent more of your money on weed and never upgraded to the iPhone 6, you can purchase the single-joint case of iPhone 5 for $19.99.
