These mouth-watering iPhone covers give a whole new meaning to calling for takeout.

The incredibly realistic-looking designs are fashioned from plastic and feature all manner of dishes, from noodles and sushi to bacon and eggs. The so-called "iMeshi" are the brainchild of Japan-based cell phone company Strapya and cost around £31 each. They allow customers to figuratively as well as literally chew the fat while talking on their phones.

However, company spokesman James Sweatman warns people cannot use their cameras with the covers on, as "the company didn't want to compromise the realism of the cases by placing a big lens hole on a beautifully constructed bento or sushi replica iPhone case."
