## The story

Swapshell faceplates hung on spinning racks at every mall kiosk, in flame patterns, sparkles, translucent colors and glow-in-the-dark. Popping off the old cover meant prying with a fingernail and praying the buttons didn't scatter across the floor. Teens changed them to match outfits, moods and crushes, and some owned more faceplates than shirts.

## Fun fact

The rubber button pads underneath loved to escape, and every couch hid at least one stray number five.
