Android Detox Device
Price range From $49.99
Shipping: 14-20 business days
A full-size, non-working replica styled after the latest Android flagship series. Same size, same weight, same feel in your pocket.
What's missing is the point: no screen, no apps, no notifications, nothing to pull you back in.
Built from durable matte plastic that survives daily carry, a bag, or a toddler's grip. A digital detox, a deadpan gag gift and a screen-free decoy for little hands.
Please note: this is a decoy device, not a working phone. The Ultra model does not include a stylus. Slight variations in colour, finish, and size can occur, and may differ from the photos shown. No 'device box' is provided, only shipping box.

Questions
Everything you'd ask about a phone that does nothing
How long will it take to ship?
Shipments are processed within 24-72hrs business days.
Shipping will take 7-20 business days depending on your location in Canada.
Things like weather can delay shipments further.
What comes in the package?
Just packaging material and the device. No extra waste. There is no 'Phone box' that comes with it.
Please note: When ordering multiple devices, they may come arrive separate from each other as the manufacturer has multiple warehouses they ship from. We try and ship together when possible.
Does it fit a regular phone case?
It's built to the general size of a standard smartphone, so many off-the-shelf cases will fit, though we can't guarantee a perfect fit for every case brand or model.
Does it turn on, light up, or make any sound?
No. The Detox Device has no battery, no screen, and no speaker.
It won't light up, buzz, ring, or respond to touch.
What's it made of, and how much does it weigh?
It's molded from durable ABS plastic with a matte, non-glare finish and a real glass screen. It has no small removable parts.
It's weighted to match the heft of the same smartphone model so it feels right in a pocket or hand, not like an empty toy.
I hear a rattle, is that normal?
Yes. Because this is not a real device and the buttons are not connected to electronics to hold them in place, when you shake the device you may hear rattling.
Will it fool people from across the room?
From across a room or a quick glance, yes, it reads as a real phone. Up close, the matte plastic build are more noticeable, which is by design.
It's meant to pass a casual glance (perfect for the gag-gift reveal and the "does my kid actually need the real thing" moment), not to withstand close inspection.
Does the device come with a product box?
No. The device is shipped by itself. It will be protected with a shipping box, but we do not offer product boxes for the devices.
Is it safe for a toddler?
It's as safe as allowing them to use your actual device.
It's built as one solid piece with no small, detachable parts, but has a similar glass screen.
As with anything given to a young child, we recommend adult supervision.
Buying for a party, a swap, or the whole office?
Orders of 10+ qualify for bulk pricing, with simple gift packaging for party favors, white elephant exchanges, and corporate novelty gifts. Custom screen-face printing available.
