It’s a little charm for your mobile phone that looks exactly like a tiny Nintendo DS Lite.

You won’t be playing any games on this one though. It’s just a pair of little mirrors that lets you admire your own precious mug from a couple of angles.

A reader over at geeksugar found one of these while shopping the streets of Asia. I haven’t been able to find these for sale online, but if anyone manages to figure out where to buy one of these, post a comment and let us know.

Now you can carry a portable version, right there on your cell phone.

This mini self-destruct switch is the latest in a long line of odd things that Japanese people are hanging from their mobile phones. Under its plastic shield is a large red button that triggers a cacophony of sound and blinking lights, including a flashing LED and a loud “boom” when your time has expired. I only wish that it would make that high-pitched “fweeeeeeeee…” sound that all the explosive devices on 24 make before they blow up.

For some reason, I don’t think you should try to take one of these through the TSA security checkpoint. As long as you don’t plan on holding up the airport line in front of me, you can pick one up from Strapya-World for just under $11 bucks.
