Apparently, it’s not. At least not if it’s the size of your iPhone. That much is clear if you look at Dmitry Ostrogorsky’s project up on Kickstarter called the ConnectorR, which isn’t generating much in the way of funds or support (yet?)

The ConnectorR is basically a leather bracelet with a metallic mount, on which you’re supposed to mount your smartphone using double-sided foam stickers. Yes, you read that right: foam stickers. On your phone. But Dmitry recommends that you stick the stickers on a case instead of your actual phone so you can remove it.

If you’re interested in supporting his project, you can head on over to Kickstarter to back it. Those who pledge a minimum of $29 or more will get a complete wrist package that includes the Die Cast ConnectorR with custom made, genuine leather wristband. Higher pledges will get you upgrades like additional mounts for your belt or an armband, or a special red version of the ConnectorR among other bonuses.

If you squint your eyes real hard, it’s sort of like a current day Pip-Boy 3000.

The modern-day replica offers up blinking lights and sounds just like the original Starfleet-issue communications gizmo. It’s even got a cool moving moire effect, making it even more retro-fabulous. I also love the “Hailing” feature, which lets you press a button on the face, flip the metal grill closed, and receive a call back from the Enterprise a few seconds later.

It’s loaded with over 20 phrases and sound effects from the classic Trek universe, including original sound samples from the TV show. While it’s not actually functional for two-way communications, it would be cool to crack one open and stuff your cell phone inside of it. I’d love to walk down the street making a call with one of these in my hand. After all, who needs Bluetooth headsets when you’ve got one of these?

The Star Trek Classic Communicator is available now from ThinkGeek for $29.99.
