1. An mobile device accessory for spinning a mobile device having a battery and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with computer-executable instructions, comprising:
an accessory less than an inch in thickness attached to said mobile device, said accessory comprising a securing element for attaching the accessory to the exterior of the mobile device, a rotating element connected to the securing element, said rotating element comprising a first ring and a second ring, wherein said first ring and said second ring have different diameters and are positioned concentrically, wherein said second ring provides a rotating wheel and said first ring provides a fixed axle, in which said first ring is stationary and said second ring rotates and wherein said first ring and said second ring are separated by at least four balls interposed in the space between said first and second ring, said balls reducing the friction between said first ring and said second ring;
said accessory having a motor coupled to said rotating element to spin said rotating element, wherein said motor is conductively coupled to said mobile device battery, wherein said mobile device battery provides power for said motor to spin said rotating element;
wherein said spin of said rotating element is controlled by said power provided to said motor;
wherein said power provided to said motor is controlled by computer-executable instructions stored in said mobile device.
