SP 1

Although everyone just calls it Sailor Moon, the official title of the anime and manga franchise is Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon, which translates out to Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. A couple of years back, though, Sailor Moon’s producers decided they’d prefer for it to be called Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, a shift which irked anime purists and linguists alike.

Still, “Guardian” is a fitting title for the inspiration of these new smartphone accessories, which protect your phone’s plugs from dirt, dust, and grime while also adding a touch of Sailor Moon style.

Smartphone accessory maker Gourmandise is set to release its line of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Double-Plug Type Charm Character Pins, as they’re officially called. Compatible with Apple’s iPhone, iPod, iPod touch, and iPod nano, the “double-plug” designation refers to the fact that each pin comes with two short rods so that you can block off the device’s headphone jack and Lightning connector port simultaneously.

SP 2

Cutest of the three designs is the Cosmic Heart Compact, Sailor Moon’s transformation item from the Sailor Moon S arc of the original anime.

SP 4

If you want to go back further along the Sailor Moon timeline, there’s also the Crystal Star Compact, as seen in Sailor Moon R.

SP 5

Finally, if you love both Japanese animation and cats, the Luna and Artemis charm, featuring the mentor cats of Sailors Moon and Venus, is the one for you.

SP 6

Preorders for the 1,598-yen (US$13) accessories are currently being taken through the Gourmandise website here, with delivery scheduled for mid-December. Granted, you won’t be able to listen to music or charge your phone while you’re using these, but they’ll still leave your device functional for talking with friends or searching the Internet for all manner of important information.
