Among thousands of weird and even silly gadgets and accessories, here's one that is pretty unique: the Socket Deer Outlet Covers, a thingie that is supposed to add to your residence's “cool factor,” and provide you with some functionality as well. Now, one cannot tell for sure whether these rubberized antlers have reached their altogether nice goals. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and even if some would be inclined to say that the Socket Deer Outlet Covers come with a redneck aura, other people might actually like them very much.

These Socket Deer Outlet Covers come in three different shapes, and this means you get to choose which kind of deer will guard your wall sockets. Yet, the designer claims that the device can also be used as covers for the light switches.

Now, if you install these socket covers so they're at the level of your feet, and you happen to bump into them, it's possible that nothing will happen. Nevertheless, if you have the Socket Deer Covers set up for your light switches at the same level with your face and eyes, and you happen to wander in the darkness, some nasty things could occur. These accessories are wrapped up in urethane rubber, which is tough, but still they could be a safety hazard.

The products have been designed for one thing in the first place, namely to provide a cradle for your portable gadgets as you lay them down to recharge overnight, so they don't get scattered all over the floor, as if waiting to be stepped on. Alternately, you can use them as key hooks, when guarding your light switch. Also, there are other accessories as well that you can hang on these antlers. The Socket Deer Outlet Covers have been created with a three-color scheme, in white, brown, and black. Despite that, one's first impression could still remain that they're redneck-ish.
