BIC has just dropped its latest creation: the “Hold the Phone” case for EZ Reach lighters. This limited-edition release, inspired by the unlikely duo of Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, promises to be the season’s hottest must-have item. As your on-the-scene reporter, I’ve got the inside scoop on this fiery new product that’s already creating buzz in Shelton, Connecticut.
Walking into BIC’s headquarters, the air is electric with excitement. Jeany Mui, Marketing Director at BIC Flame for Life, greets me with a beaming smile. We’re always looking for ways to blend functionality with style,” she explains, holding up one of the new cases. “The ‘Hold the Phone’ case is our latest brainchild, celebrating our ongoing partnership with Martha and Snoop.”
The case, designed to fit the iPhone 15 (excluding Plus and Pro models), comes in two distinct styles reflecting the unique personalities of its celebrity endorsers. It’s clear that BIC is tapping into the growing trend of personalizing everyday items, a move that’s sure to resonate with consumers looking to add a touch of flair to their daily lives.
As we tour the facility, Mui demonstrates the case’s practicality. “It’s not just about looking good,” she says, effortlessly sliding an EZ Reach lighter into the specially designed holder. “It’s about having your lighter within reach whenever you need it.”
The EZ Reach lighter itself is a marvel of engineering, boasting a 1.45-inch extended wand that keeps fingers safely away from the flame. It’s clear that safety and convenience were top priorities in the design process.
In a surprising turn of events, I manage to catch Martha Stewart on the phone for a quick comment. I keep one of my own BIC EZ Reach Lighter designs in nearly every room of my home,” she shares enthusiastically. “Now, with the ‘Hold the Phone’ case, I can easily bring my favorite lighters with me on-the-go. Why not make your everyday items fashionable too?”
Stewart’s excitement is palpable, even through the phone. “Plus, partnering with Snoop Dogg and my good friends at BIC is always so much fun,” she adds. “I love all of the creative ways to showcase the benefits of the BIC EZ Reach Lighter.”
As we wrap up the tour, Mui provides some insights into BIC’s strategy. Building on the success of our previous campaigns and the legendary pair’s undeniable chemistry, we’re thrilled to launch another must-have accessory ahead of the holiday season,” she explains.
The limited-edition cases will be available exclusively on BIC’s website starting Friday, October 4. Priced at $49.99, each case comes with two BIC EZ Reach Lighters matching the chosen design. It’s a clever bundle that’s sure to catch fire with consumers.
Industry analysts I spoke with agree that BIC’s move is a smart one. Combining celebrity appeal with practical design is a winning formula,” says Sarah Johnson, a retail trend expert. “BIC is positioning itself at the intersection of pop culture and everyday utility.”
As I leave the BIC headquarters, it’s clear that this launch is just the beginning. The company’s ability to reinvent everyday items and infuse them with personality and style is impressive. With the holiday season approaching, it wouldn’t be surprising to see these “Hold the Phone” cases lighting up wish lists across the country.
