Container attachable to a personal electronic device

A pocket-sized container securable to the back of a mobile phone or smart-phone-like device for a personal care product (preferably a cosmetic) includes a housing substantially smaller than the phone and provided with an adhesive layer on its bottom surface for securing the housing to the rear surface of the phone. The top surface of the housing has a substantially reflective mirror-like surface. The container includes a sliding drawer having a personal care product contained therein (pills, mints, cosmetics, blush, lip gloss, etc.). The drawer is slidable into and out of the housing to provide access to the personal care product while the housing is adhered to the phone. The drawer preferably includes a pair of opposed finger-gripping surfaces, such as raised ridges or projections, adapted to facilitate sliding of the drawer out of the housing. Replaceable trays of personal care products can be inserted into the drawer, as desired.
