Hapori Tohu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If you're a Google Fi subscriber it looks like you might be getting a cool gift in the near future, if you haven't already. The Verge reports that some members have been receiving a bunch of bricks with instructions to build a stand to hold your phone while charging. If you're unaware, Fi is Google's cell phone service that's currently in an invite-only beta. It's a cool little build and a nice touch of one company known for its interesting products using some creativity and the products of another.

Aanchir Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not actual LEGO bricks (which is why I had been hesitant to report on this), but still a pretty swell marketing gimmick. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm kind of surprised a Lego-ized phone charger hasn't been by Lego to be sold by the public yet. With as popular as Lego is, one would think that something like this would sell really well. It is cool for Google to do something like this. I bet we will see something like this on store shelves once they get their phone service going, or even possibly sooner depending on demand.

masterchirox580 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not really that big a deal to me. I think things like this have existed before. Although it will probably become a collector's item. Quote It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
