The iPhone is a stunning piece of industrial design that screams taste and style.

At least this guy won't have to worry about someone stealing his iPhone. Unless he lives in the UK, of course.

    I actually like it. It looks more like he modded a case.

  2. FJR says:

    the big piece of plastic on the bottom is too clunky. Plus I don't really see how it will stand up to constant use that the rest fo the phone is designed to take. As I understand the mod, he took an old piece of plastic off and old apple keyboard. There is no way that that doesn't disintegrate after 4-5 months of pocket use. It sticks out from the otherwise sleek design, and its made of substantially less durable material than the rest of the phone.

    wow I think it looks cool! Very retro! Nice job.

  4. Quagmire says:

    I don't get it. I don't get it. It looks like a bug.
