We love everything about bananas: their color, their taste, their texture, their versatility. We even love the word: B-a-n-a-n-a. Isn't it great? If you say it over and over really fast it starts to sound like 'nanaba'. You just tried it, didn't you? You silly 'nana!
 Banana case mod
Where were we? Oh yes, bananas. Well the thing is, although we adore them in all their yellow, curvy glory, we hate bruised ones. Indeed, pulling one out of your bag and discovering it's been knocked about is enough to drive you...er, bananas. Yes, nature did attempt a solution by encasing the fruit in a rather funky outer skin but even that can't protect it completely.

Always carry protection |
Thankfully help is at hand in the rather magnificent shape of the Banana Guard. Designed to accommodate all but the most enormous of bananas, this ingenious plastic case will protect your beloved banana in transit and prevent it from getting bashed around by the other occupants of your bag.
 Locked up
Perfect for packed lunches, picnics and games of banana boomerang, the durable Banana Guard features three clasps to lock your banana inside and small holes in the casing to keep the air circulating, thus averting over-ripening.
"But why can't I just shove my banana in a plastic lunch box?" we hear you ask. Well, for starters, bananas are quite big and curved, so you can't really squish your sandwiches in as well (unless you make silly little curved ones). Plus, bananas have a tendency to make your ham taste all bananary - and vice versa.

It's for all of the above reasons that we believe the Banana Guard is destined for greatness. Indeed, we reckon it will become an indispensable accessory for executive banana-lovers everywhere. So hurry up and hit buy - you'd be bananas not to!

Banana guard is absolutely amazing. My boyfriend rolled his eyes at me when I bought it. Less than a month later I'm back, buying one for him as he's been stealing mine for the last 2 weeks!

So simple yet so effective! got this as a bit of a comedy gift for my friend... Yes, the look on her parent's face as I handed over the oddly-shaped package was indeed worth it... But now everybody wants one! I'm buying a whole bunch (bud, dum, dum) for xmas pressies. A must for any health nut!

The Bananagaurd is an engenius piece of work. Just moments before I saw the bananagaurd I was shouting at my mum for constantly giving me bananas that where getting squished in my bag. I would recomend the bananagaurd to anyone. A+ item.

Advantages:
1. Prevents everything else from smelling like bananas.
2. Stops your banana getting squished and brown.
3. Will fit any shape/size of banana.
Disadvantages:
1. As a woman pretty much everyone has asked me where the batteries go!
2. People giggle if they see it out on my desk.

The banana guard is great. The banana I have while playing tennis will never be squished again!

Fantastic product! Works really well and looks pretty funky too! (Although I did get some funny looks when I took it out of my bag - people are so dirty minded these days! :P).
