    This would be total win if it actually could Etch-A-Sketch. Grossly impractical, but still a win

    @matt_mcmhn: Between the lack of it actually working and it being called "i-sketch" it is an unfortunate two strikes. That is not to say it is "out", it is just in a sketchy situation. On my just made up on the spot scale of "would purchase for non-iPhone owners only to piss them off" to "must acquire before being being served as the main course at a cannibalism convention", it is probably closer to the former than latter, unfortunately.

    @Ben Hoback: Props for going out and getting the answers. Would be nice if they knew how to spell "details", though.

    Having done a little (very little) machining in the past, I shudder at this:


    "The case is milled from solid stock providing a very strong unit."

    Hope they're at least recycling everything they machine out.

    When you have a phone case this manly, you don't care about not receiving a signal, because you TAKE the signal.



    And there ain't nothing those panzies at the apple can do about it.

    You're forgetting one more potential problem... how much would this block your signal?

    @TheStateOnDVD2Day_GitEmSteveDave: Doubtful. The metal of the original iPhone was apparently replaced with plastic to improve reception of its many antennae. Also, the plastic patches on the iPod touch models are there to aid WiFi reception. I'm pretty sure shrouding your phone in metal would make the signal worse. It's a shame, because a metal case could be thin, strong and stylish, something that is rarely seen with iPhone cases.

    @craig_16: You ever see a Faraday cage? It's mesh, and blocks radio signals. Like everyone else is saying, it's going to block some (a lot) signal. The antennas are at the top of the phone anyway.

    It is worth noting that this case can also be used in an emergency to bludgeon someone to death.

    I really don't get the point, the iphone is a cool phone, but so many accessories focus on making it a "wannabe" camera lately that it makes me wonder WHY NOT get a simple camera to start with? For $200 additional to the phone, get a point and shoot, and if you need the lenses, well there's some DECENT SLRs out there at the moment, why not just splurge in those?

    Hey, y'all want to REALLY hate on this dorky thing? Anodize the aluminum so it becomes a brass color--instant steampunk! Yay!


    Well, OK, maybe you'd also have to add a mahogany veneer and a couple of extra knobs, but as-is it's a great starting point.

    Hmm. Sony and Apple together? I would have thought the universe would undergo instant protonic reversal.

    SPAM ALERT. The post directly above by devianaut includes a link to SPAM, don't go there folks, it's a redirect to something you probably don't want to go to.
