Touch Tone Phone iPhone Case

I love the retro gadget look movement; taking old gadgets and using them in new ways or disguising your new gadgets in vintage electronics. That's what we have here with this handsome iPhone case in the design of an old school touch-tone phone (or as we used to call them when they were still relatively new- push button phones). This hand stitched felt case hides a velcro enclosure behind the two buttons from the "headset". There's a hole for your iPhone's headphone wire and even small pocket in the back for the earphones to be stored in. Available on Etsy for $52. At that price I suspect it will be available for a loooong time. Cool retro design though.

Case-Mate ID Holder iPhone Cases

Whether you're going out to the club or just out for jog, sometimes you need to take your iPhone with you and a few other things but you don't want to carry a giant bag or your wallet. That's where these ingenious iPhone ID Credit Card cases from Case-Mate come in. They simply added a small pocket onto the back of a regular iPhone protective case that allows you to slip in your ID, credit card, or some cash. It can hold 2 credit card sized items without adding any significant bulk to phone. Costs $29.95 and comes in a rainbow of color choices. Good idea.

Case-Mate's Recession iPhone Case

Actual product alert! Actual real live purchasable product alert! The recession is hitting everyone these days and everybody's looking to save money wherever they can. So if you're looking for REALLY cheap case for your iPhone (hey, just because we're trying to save money doesn't mean we have to give up the necessities of life like an iPhone 3GS, don't be ridiculous), Case-Mate has the perfect solution.

The iPhone 3G/3GS recession case is nothing but a cardboard box. It folds up around your Apple device and protects it. You can even take a sharpie or a crayon and personalize it. Budget priced, the recession case costs just $0.79 when you buy the bailout bundle of 10 (enough for all your iPhones). Otherwise you'll have to spring for 20 cents more. Remember, cardboard is the new plastic!

Waterproof Bag for the iPhone

How cool would it be to have a waterproof bag so you could take your iPhone to the beach or pool and not have to worry about water damage? While it seems like an awesome idea, I simply would not trust a bag to keep my precious iPhone 3GS safe from harm. I'm sure it works just fine but I wouldn't want MY gadget in there. You go ahead. The case has a clear window in the back so you can use the camera or videocamera features of your phone and supposedly it still allows you use the touchscreen (it better! otherwise the phone's pretty useless). It costs about $34 and is available in Japan, so I guess we don't have to worry about how effective it is just yet.

Frosted Pop Tart iPhone Sleeve

Mmmm... toaster pastries. A tasty way to secure your iPhone for $20. Just make sure the kids don't get their hands on this, I'm not sure if toasting your iPhone is covered by Applecare.

Mixtape iPhone Case is Retro Cool

Agent 18 is introducing a limited edition iPhone case in the form of a mixtape. Remember mixtapes? Your iPhone (or iPod Touch) is pretty much like a mixtape anyway. These cases are hard plastic, backside only. There's no telling exactly how limited these (pre-order) $30 cases are but once they're gone, they're gone. Just like real mixtapes.

I doubt there's anyone out there better prepared to protect your new iPhone from harm like R2D2. The little droid somehow managed to sneak his way into all the Star Wars films (relatively) unharmed, while saving people left and right with his intelligence and some might say luck. This handmade iPhone case is handstitched out of a ton of little pieces of soft felt. Perfect to protect you from the Dark Side and scratches and maybe bring you a bit of luck, just like our pal Artoo. Clearly a lot of detail and effort went into this piece and it's priced appropriately at $53. I'd say it's Star Warsome. Star Wawsome? Just plain awesome.
