These quirky accessories are not only undeniably striking, but also lend some pizzazz to your Android device. They make for great gifts without burning a hole in your wallet. We take a look at the top three unusual Android accessories that are under $25.

1. Andru USB Phone Charger

The Andru USB Phone Charger from Gen is specifically made for Android phones, but works just as well for any other phone or USB-powered device. This innovatively designed portable USB charger has movable arms and flexible antennae. The charger resembles a Bugdroid figurine and is just 2.5 inches tall and can even double up as a desk trinket.

Andru also has eyes that light up which turn blue when charging and white when on standby. The charger comes with its own stand and cable. To charge your phone you simply need to remove Andru's feet from the base to reveal the standard electrical plug and then attach the microUSB cable to his head. Hook Andru up to an outlet and you're good to go.

The Andru USB Phone Charger is available in three colors - green (Andru), black (Andru Dark), and white (Andru Chill) - and will set consumers back by $25. To purchase the accessory, check out PowerByGen.com.

The bee-shaped speaker even has a little stinger on the bottom and flexible plastic wings installed on either side! The speaker includes a pre-installed USB cord that can be plugged into your laptop or tablet and even includes a headset. The only downer is that the speaker is not compatible for smartphones,
