Guess what this is

[dia]

Yes!!
it appears to serve merely as a rubber covering for food bowls and to stop boiling pans from spilling over your cooker which, in itself, is wholly unremarkable.

wtg!! congrats!

I have some of those, but without the pig in the middle. Also used for microwave heating I believe.

What are we looking at, the phone or the other thing

[Volkoronado]

The thingie next to it, I apologize for not specifying that earlier.

[Jones]

A "phone charm"?
Well, I know the thing next to it is in the shape of an animal.

[Volkoronado]

It is an animal, though not truly a charm.
It has a specific purpose

[Jones]

Does it help you hold the phone without dropping it, and the item next to it feeds the rope?

(You know, like with cameras)

[Volkoronado]

Like a wrist strap, you mean? Nope

[Jones]

That was the word I was looking for; thanks
I'll go with a guess I'm surprised has not been done yet: a phone charger?

[Yorick]

a mouse like on a computer, for the internet?

[Volkoronado]

Not a charger and not a mouse, either.
Hint: It does help you use the phone better (in it's own particular way, that is)

[Jones]

Does it enhance sound quality?

[Yorick]

a Phone connection thing? for getting reception

[Volkoronado]

Well, it does enhace sound quality, but doesn't help reception. (Hint: It doesn't actually help the phone itself in any way).
Getting closer Jones

[Jones]

A...speaker?
