Say this for Starbucks: its coffee may mostly just taste like burning, but its merch tends to be on point. The latest example, as spotted by 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, is a collaboration with Samsung<\/a> (in South Korea only, unfortunately) that created branded cases for the Galaxy S22 lineup and the Galaxy Buds 2.<\/p>\n

One of the Buds 2 case options is a dark green case with a Starbucks logo. (Boring.) The other is a small white mug with a handle and fake latte art whose top swivels away to reveal your earbuds. (Less boring!) Thanks to the giant mermaid logo on the side, it won\u2019t appeal to anyone other than the most diehard of Starbucks javaheads, and I suppose I should point out that I\u2019ve never had a Starbucks barista draw a perfect foam leaf on top of my drink, but I love it nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Starbucks collab brought a bunch of new cases… some more interesting than others.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Samsung<\/em><\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Samsung has a history with fun cases like these, too. You might remember, for instance, its pok\u00e9 ball case<\/a> for the Buds, which it released \u2014 also exclusively in South Korea \u2014 last month. Like that one, the mug is just hilariously impractical: it takes a small, stealthy, pocketable case and turns it into something loud and unwieldy. To give you an idea of the size of the thing, you actually put your entire charger inside <\/em>the mug. There are no new features and no added battery capacity in that big body \u2014 just more gizmo for your gizmo.<\/p>\n

But why shouldn\u2019t chargers be more fun just for fun\u2019s sake? The mug is just a cute desk accessory, a place to put your whole earbud kit so you\u2019re not constantly rooting around your pockets and desk to find that tiny case. And, if you\u2019re the purse-carrying type, a bigger and more oblong case might actually be a good thing. The world could use a more chaotic take on cases and chargers in general. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet clear what the new Samsung-Starbucks merch will cost when it goes on sale tomorrow, and given that they\u2019re in limited supply and exclusive to South Korea, you probably won\u2019t be able to get your hands on one. But my eBay alert for \u201ccoffee mug Buds case\u201d is already set. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
